Back in 1966, the Philippine movie industry was a crazy thing, and they got in on the whole Bat-mania thing.
Alyas Batman At Robin (1965) actually came before the TV series. The Dynamic Duo were Bob Soler as Batman and Lou Salvador, Jr, as Robin.
In 1966 came
James Batman, which mixed aspects of the James Bond films with stuff inspired by, or lifted from,
Batman. This one starred hugely-popular comedian Dolphy (Rodolfo Vera Quizon). You can find a great write-up on this one
here.
Then, in 1967, came
Batman Fights Dracula, with Jing Abalos as Batman — in Eastmancolor! This one seems to be almost impossible to find.
