Trumpet player and bandleader Al Hirt is famous for performing the theme song to Batman's sister show Green Hornet, but he also brought his signature trumpet playing to the Batman theme on his 1966 album "The Horn Meets the Hornet." The Horn Meets the Hornet saw Hirt reacting to the success of his Green Hornet theme as a single by releasing a whole album of TV theme songs. In addition to the Green Hornet and Batman, the album also features the themes from Get Smart, The Monkees, Tarzan, and more.
Note: I couldn't find an upload of Al Hirt's Batman theme on YouTube. However, the entire album, featuring the Green Hornet, Batman and more, is on YouTube. The whole thing is worth a listen, and it's only 26 minutes long, so it won't take up much of your time. The Batman Theme begins at 12:03. If you just want to cut to the chase, here's a link https://youtu.be/hNC-0vr1A2o?t=12m3s that begins with Batman.
