See The 8 Minute Unaired 1967 Batgirl Introduction TV Episode

I'm a huge Batman, Robin and Batgirl fan, and until recently I had no idea there was an 8 minute pilot standalone for "Batgirl!" Unfortunately, it's not available on DVD, although I would definitely buy it! Watch the video below.

 


In 1967, this "short" 8 minute episode was presented to ABC executives to introduce the Batgirl character into the Batman TV Series (1966-68) and the character proved to be successful so she was added. The series ventured into a third season, which also turned out to be it's final. 

This was also created as a possible "Batgirl" TV series, that never happened. This episode also has Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin. The villain in this presentation was Tim Herbert as The Killer Moth, although the villain was never used on the Batman 66 series.

Sadly, this was never aired on television.

And here's a 10 minute video explaining the background of how the pilot came to be:
