Here is an old one from Angelfire
, which is remarkably comprehensive:
Rules and whatnot: This drinking game is based on the 1960s Batman TV show starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The rules are simple. Simply use your favorite alcoholic beverage and take drinks accordingly. Whoever is the soberest by the end wins. That is if anyone cares about winning by that point. If you're playing this with non-alcoholic drinks (though since it's a drinking game, I don't know why you would be) then the last person who has to run to the bathroom wins.
Special Note: If the director of the episode is listed as "george waGGner" ignore the rules and just drink. Constantly. Trust me, you'll be much happier that way.
