Anyone want to take a stab at what it is?
Batmobile's in the shop? The Superfriends have quit crime fighting and started a circus?
Explanation: Adam West.
I think it's the fact that it's a baby elephant that makes it so odd.
Got it, Zuul. C'mon Batman afficionados, WTF?
ps. The Adam West explanation presumes he was allowed to take his costume home from work!
Is it a baby elephant? Maybe it's a really huge Batman.
The full story can be found in Detective Comics #243 (May, 1957):

Explanation? The Silver Age.
It all makes perfect sense now.
Or for those inclined to a (slightly) more prosaic explanation: in an interview with Bizarre magazine, Adam West mentions how he toured with a couple circuses in costume as Batman.I think everyone past a certain age remembers their reaction upon hearing the news bulletins that the Detroit race riots had been broken up by Batman, riding an elephant.Quote:
I did two circuses. I was in Detroit during the race riots, which wasn't fun. I did a lot of running, was shot out of canons, stunt fights, things like that.
"Onward, faithful Bat-Elephant!" *BIFF* *POW* *TRUNK*
Adam West may have been through some rough times, but really we should all envy him such a sublimely goofy, coked-out life.
Yes, I do believe Batman being fired out of a cannon while riding an elephant could stop any race riot.Quote:

Well, you see it was the 60s...
