Batfink

Batfink was an animated television series, consisting of five-minute shorts, that first aired in September 1967. The 100-episode series was quickly created by Hal Seeger, starting in 1966, to parody the popular Batman and The Green Hornet television series which had premiered the same year.

The cartoon was produced at Hal Seeger Studios, in New York City. It was syndicated by Screen Gems and continued to air on local stations throughout the 1980s. Nickelodeon briefly aired episodes of Batfink on its Weinerville and Nick in the Afternoon series in the 1990s.

Batfink's life and wings are explained in the final episode, "Batfink: This Is Your Life", in which he is shown his boyhood, and how his real wings were replaced.

Cast

  • Batfink (Frank Buxton) is a bat with superpowers. He uses his "super sonar radar" and metallic wings ("My wings are like a shield of steel!") to fight crime.
  • Karate (Len Maxwell) is a martial arts expert and Batfink's sidekick. He isn't very bright but is strong enough to help Batfink out of any situation.
  • The Chief (Len Maxwell) is Batfink's consultant and informs Batfink of all the latest crimes.
  • Hugo A-Go-Go (Frank Buxton) is the main villain of the series, who spents his time in his laboratory creating inventions to defeat Batfink and dominate the world.
  • Other villains have included Queenie Bee (with her army of bees) and Goldyunlocks (with an obsession of unlocking every lock she sees).
