Just before the 1966 Batmania surge, Columbia Pictures decided to release the 1943 Batman serial in 8mm format. Going by the title Adventures of Batman, they captured the "Mightiest Hero of All Action Serials!" in a condensed Home Movie style. These silent, black & white films ranged through various chapters, also partially covering the 1949 serial Batman & Robin as well. As you can see, few of these 8mm films were produced. But that means very little as far as BYTB's Cinema section is concerned. I've taken the time to track down and catalog all of them for the sake of you, the fellow fan.
