Holy nostalgia, Batman -- CBS has wrapped production on a new television movie that reunites the stars of the campy '60s "Batman" series.

Adam West and Burt Ward star in the new comedy adventure as themselves. While investigating a plot to steal the original Batmobile from a charity benefit, the actors reminisce about their old series. These memories reveal the strange behind-the-scenes drama of "Batman," including on-the-set explosions to their wild real-life encounters with fans.

Frank Gorshin (The Riddler), Lee Meriwether (Cat Woman) and Julie Newmar (Cat Woman) will also appear in the movie, tentatively titled "Back to the Batcave."

Emmy Award-winner Paul A. Kaufman ("Run the Wild Fields" ) executive produces and directs. The script was written by Duane Poole, who also penned the documentary "Surviving Gilligan's Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three-Hour Tour in History."

No official airdate has been set.
