    @cuddlebear: Today was the first time I seen it, it's good, had some funny moments. I'm more used to the serious Batman, silly was the wrong word to describe the show, didn't mean to come off as a hater. I didn't understand why people loved the Adam West Batman until today, he was better than I thought.

    Oh the show is ridiculous hate away! But it premiering in 66 and living on for decades through syndication is the reason Batman is the most popular character. Your normal non-comic 60 year old does not give 2 $#17s about Iron Man but he will see the Batman movie because "Oh thats the show i used to watch as a kid." basically Batman has a 30 year jump on its competition because of it. It puts his whole universe into the mainstream penguin, catwoman riddler joker your average person knows these characters. your average person would not know doc ock or black cat or kraven the hunter.
