One that sticks in my mind from when I was about eight is an old film serial called ' Batman and Robin'. It was made in the 1940s, but I saw it in the early 60s at Saturday morning children's matinees in the local Gaumont cinema. I can still remember acting it out in play, buying a mask and running around with my rain coat buttoned at the neck to look like a cape. Because it was in 26 episodes it lasted six months, which is a long time in a young child's life.
I've seen it since: it's rubbish. 🤣

@FreddieUK That was a 15:chapter Columbia Pictures serial starring Robert Lowery as Batman and Johnny Duncan as Robin made in '49. Leonard Penn was The Wizard.
It was the sequel (of sorts) to the '43 Columbia Pictures serial Batman, that starred Lewis Wilson as the Caped Crusader and Douglas Croft as sidekick Robin.
J. Carrol Naish was the Japanese villain Dr. Daka. It's quite a racist adventure, almost as racist as the film The Mask of Fu Manchu with Boris Karloff.
