The camp-infused original Batman series, which marked the first appearance of the caped crusader on television screens, is best known for its less-than-solemn nature (read: light, fun and tongue-in-cheek), with no remnant of "the g-word" (read: "gritty") in sight, a TV show where each episodic adventure was punctuated with a "KA-POW!" The show also had a propensity for labeling objects with, well, obvious labels — like putting a "Batcomputer"-worded decal on an actual, readily-identifiable computer.

In the vein of the viral-hungry raison d'etre of most social media users, Twitterer Aaron Reynolds (or @aaronreynolds) decided to kick this hilarity up a notch, creating an account on the social media site completely dedicated to these Batman labels (or Bat Labels).

Named "Batman 66 Labels," the animus of the account is to collect and tweet out expository, somewhat redundant (and sometimes ridiculous) labels from Batman, which starred Adam West (perhaps better known by younger generations as the mayor on Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy) and aired from 1966 to 1968. The series lasted for three seasons before it was cancelled, and featured now-famous faces like Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, Eli Wallach as Mr. Freeze and Cesar Romero as the Joker.

Reynolds also created an adjacent Tumblr account for his digital Bat Label collection, where users can like and share the images in a more bloggy form. Currently, Reynolds has over 7,000 followers on the parody Twitter account.
