“Holy shit, Batman!” “Robin! Whatever possessed you to use such profanity?” (Cut to Robin standing in front of a huge steaming pile, with Circus Elephants in the background.) Oh wait, that never happened. ---

Sorry, I have to do that one better. (Batman and Robin walking through the woods) “Holy Shit, Batman!” “Heroes do not use profanity, Robin” (cut to a shot of Robin picking up his foot, with shit all over it. Then cut to a shot of the Pope running away.) “I guess the Pope really does defecate in the woods, Robin!” ---

Hermes on _Futurama_ is obviously a decendant of Burt Ward. ---

Too bad there was never an opportunity to for Robin to say Holy Guacamole. ---

“Holy radioactive pussies Batman!” I don’t know if that made it into the actual episode. But Adam West likes to tell the story about what I assume was a Catwoman episode since it involves cat statues, and how everyone would crack up when Robin tried to say that line. ---

I know he never said it on the show, but “Holy Underwear, Batman!” was always a favorite on my block when I was growing up. ---

The only one I remember was when the Dynamic Duo was about to get crushed by a giant rock. “Holy mashed potatoes, Batman!” ---

But Adam West likes to tell the story about what I assume was a Catwoman episode since it involves cat statues, and how everyone would crack up when Robin tried to say that line. I think that episode is on next Monday/Tuesday night on HUB. Please don’t ask me why I know this. ---

Batman: Robin, I just heard catwoman is pregnant. Robin: Holy rubbers, Batman! Batman: Right again Robin. ---

I always thought they missed out by not having Adam West and Burt Ward guest star on “Everybody Loves Raymond”. Frank (Peter Boyle) could say “Holy crap, Batman!” and Burt Ward would say “Hey, that’s my line…”🙂 ---

I keep thinking of the lads coming across a righteous quantity of Acapulco’s or Columbia’s finest with a halo glowing over it and Robin declaring, “Holy Smoke, Batman!” or “Holy great shit, Batman!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-holy-___________-batman-line-60s-tv-show/558601.md?page=1)
