The 5 examples of the EMERGENCY BAT-TURN in the TV series Batman. The Batmobile can quickly rotate 180 degrees while driving (parachutes deployed) or standing still. Of course the Parachute Pickup van was added to prevent littering on the roads!

Can't we all agree that Adam West's Batman had the best Batmobile?

That parachute pick-up driver has got to be one of the easiest jobs out there.

Would love to see a spin off series about the parachute pick up guy

It's hilarious to see Gordon recognize Robin's voice over the phone but never when he meets him as Dick Grayson.

I’m glad the buttons are labeled as ‘buttons’, wouldn’t want to mistake them for something else.

Best bat-turn of all; the one done while the Batmobile was blocked by Chief O'Hara. O'Hara's probably thinking, "Begora! The Ba'mobile can spin onna dime in place! Saints preserve us!"

That stationary turn without using the parachute, though...

The campiness which made us love this series. Batman was ready for any situation ranging from Shark repellent to Thermal underwear.

I wish they did more with Parachute Pickup driver. He was my favorite character.

I like how B deploys the chutes on a paved road and makes the U-turn on a dirt road.

I like how the emergency bat-turn magically changes the street they are driving on.

I always wondered how the guys in the Parachute Pickup service knew where to return them to.....

I had an uncle that used to work for "Batman Parachute Pick Up Service". Man! Did he have some stories!!!

I love that the old barge that the Batmobile actually was is made out to be so fast that it needs parachutes to slow it.

1:02 is the best, "Surrender Batman, we're taking you in" and Batman is just like "NOPE"

Always sitting at that side street waiting for a pickup call.

I love that he's driving so fast IN THE CITY that using parachutes is useful.

I'm so glad Batman doesn't leave his parachutes all over town.

I want to Believe that Parachute Pickup is just Alfred in a specially marked van.

1:07 CHIEF O'HARA: Surrender, Batman! We're taking you in for dumping all these bat-parachutes everywhere and causing a number of complaints from certain viewers! 1:47 BATMAN: Robin, alert Parachute Pickup so we don't cause more controversy among our viewers.
