Holy reunion, Batman! Or maybe we should say: Holy Batman reunion!

Cable station The Hub announced on Monday that Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar, stars of the 1960s ABC series "Batman," will gather for a panel at this year's Comic-Con convention.

The panel, which takes place on Friday, will commemorate the 45th anniversary of the series, which ran from 1966 to 1968 and is currently carried in reruns on The Hub.

On the series, which gave a campy twist to the superhero legend, West played Batman, while Ward portrayed his crime-fighting sidekick Robin and Newmar was one of three women to play Catwoman. (Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt also donned the Catwoman costume during the show's run.)
