When the '66-'68 Batman show came into existence, Batmania swept the world, and one place in particular where it was big was Japan. There was merchandise and even a comic series produced specifically in Japan for a while, all of which was focused on in the collection called "Bat-Manga!" released not too many years ago.
So the idea struck me, what if the Japanese made a localized Batman series in the 1970s? It's not out of the question as a concept, as Toei made a Spider-Man TV show in the late 70s, and the Batman show from America was cancelled in 1968 leaving an opening.
