comic book Batman IS Batman. That is where the character came from. Everything else is based on that.
Legit Batman comic pics!!!
Frankly regardless of your opinion of the Adam West tv show I think every Batman fan today owes it respect. Why? Because without it the Batman comics would've been cancelled in the 60s!!! So, no "killing joke", no Burton films, no Nolan films, no animated series. NONE of that without Adam West tv show!!!!

Batman creator, Bob Kane, noted that this series saved the Batman comic series from cancellation when the show revived the character's popularity. Despite this, most comic fans despised this series for stereotyping superheroes and comics as campy nonsense. Furthermore, soon after the show was canceled, the character's comic series took on a dark and deadly serious tone that was reminiscent of the original comics in the late 1930's as a reaction to the TV show's light touch.
