That version looked basically like a cartoon continuation of the 1966-68 TV series of the same name. The original Filmation Batman "The Adventures of Batman" (1969) was a lot better than this version. The networks would not have allowed a typical Batman story to be shown in the late 70s. As a result, most cartoon shows being shown in the late 70s were pretty lame (boring).
We can thank the PTA and similar groups at the time with a massive campaign to curb violence on TV. Now, as far as this Filmation cartoon version of Batman is concerned, while it may not have been the best cartoon representation of Batman, it really gave the networks (at the time) what they wanted, a cartoon show with no violence. Secondly, Charles Napier was never in the 1966 version of the show. Only Adam West and Burt Ward came back to do the voices in this cartoon. First of all, I'd like to correct another poster who claims most of the original cast of the 1966 TV version of Batman provided the voices for this cartoon version.
