He was not in the movies.  He played Batman in the 1960's TV series, which
would have been in reruns on WDRB in the 1970's, which made him the first
Batman I was ever exposed to.

No.  I am not 100% certain, but I suspect that the Crescent may have been
closed by the time we moved to Louisville.  I have seen a couple of the old
b&w Superman serials that used to run in movie theatres, though.  They were
entertaining.
