  1. Yeah.... this is that whole generation gap thing with you. Once again, let me `splain this to you.
    Batman circa 1966 = Awesome.
    You take your Batman way too seriously. This era of the caped crusader didn't "ruin" Batman. It WAS Batman... in the 60's. Giant deathtrap typewriters and all. At that time it really was a near literal translation of the comic books. And it's amazing that they produced not only a show off it, but a prime-time one that appealed to not just kids, but adults as well.
    You grew up with a Tim Burton Batman... I grew up with an Adam West. My Batman's time is over, but it was fun and it sparked the imaginations of countless kids for generations. It has just as much validity as "Growly Bats" does now.
    Now download a few Dick Sprang issues, unwedge your panties, and try to take another look at the show for what it was and in the context it was made.
    (And Yvonne Craig is still Batgirl in my book.)
