This is a great example of fair use in video footage. Yvonne Craig, the lady who played Batgirl in the sixties, died recently and this is a great way to remember and celebrate her life. These shows may seem pretty corny in this day and age but they were cutting edge in the sixties and seventies. The difference between this and the last two batman movies is a good example of the progress we have made in technical issues. The advances in equal pay and equal status may not mirror the technical advances. Just as an example of how ingrained sexism is the spellchecker in the program used to write this allowed "Batman" as a word but marked "Batgirl" as an error in spelling. This is the result of a decision being made in the development of the spellcheck program and is not just an "out of the blue" mistake.
