Everything from Aieee! to Zzzzwap!Las Onomatopeyas has lots of the onomatopoeic title cards from the 1960s Batman TV show.

At first I thought, "So what?!", but then I realized the near-endless forum implications of these. Kudos.

It'd be nice if more of these were action shots though.

Those are fantastic. Thank you, kirkaracha, you've made me love the Internet again. I may have to turn these into a slideshow screen-saver.

Believe it or not, this other guy has all the fight sounds by episode (along with many other things)

These were on MonkeyFilter recently, but a friend of mine sent them to me a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking of putting them all in as tags, but there are too many.

They're in alphabetical order, too, which warms me in my special place.

!OX?-eth, Zap-eth, Bang-eth? Was there an episode where they were all transported to Shakespeare's England? Probably.

Anyway, zowie. I mean, uh, this is cute.

Yes. Vacapinta, the other one has this as well through one of the links. Surely I'm not the only person who finds it strangely poetic. Anyway, ZOINKS!!!!!

This is wonderful, the first thing all day that cheered me up, a great use of the Internet, etc.

It pales, though, next to this. As previously mentioned here.

I think most of the action shots are from the 1966 movie. Distressingly, they also seem to use fewer exclamation points.

I'm trying to picture how !OX?-eth was used.

It's probably from "Shoot a Crooked Arrow," the second-season opener, starring Art Carney as the Robin Hoodesque The Archer. "You dipped your dipthong. People from Philidelphia are known for that." - Batman to Dick Clark

I love this. Thanks, kirkaracha.
