Earth-66 is a fictional reality designation relating to the licensed properties of DC Comics. It has been retroactively attributed to the continuity of the original 1966 Batman television series, and its various spin-off projects.
Description[]
Earth-66 is similar to many other versions of the planet Earth, however, the age of heroes began in the year 1966, and continued on at least through the late 1970s. The metropolitan borough of Gotham City was protected by the costumed adventurers known as Batman and Robin. Teenager Barbara Gordon, daughter of the largely ineffective Commissioner Gordon, also donned a cape and cowl and adventured as Batgirl.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Earth-66 designation was first attributed to the Batman: The Series reality in a brief scene in the beginning of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" episode of Supergirl in 2019. In the episode, actor Burt Ward makes an appearance as an aging Dick Grayson walking alongside a dog, who is presumably Ace the Bat-Hound.
- Earth-66 was one of many infinite realities destroyed by the Anit-Monitor's antimatter wave in DC Television Universe storyline "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
- As both Britt Reid and Kato have appeared on episodes of Batman: The Series, the continuity of the Green Hornet television series is also considered part of Earth-66 continuity.
- As the character of Shazam appeared in Legends of the Superheroes, it is possible that the 1974 Shazam! television series, and its spin-off, Isis take place in Earth-66 continuity as well. However, it is also just as likely that the Shazam that appears in Legends is not intended as the same character from the TV series (largely due to the fact that he is played by a different actor).
