as a young Batman fan, I was disappointed in the silliness of the TV show from the very beginning. Batman was entering a phase that they called in the Comics, the new look. Influenced by marvel the comic was getting slightly more adult. Here it was utter silliness And to me it was a one joke comedy. And the one Joe played over and over again.Sadly, many people, especially adults, thought that this is what Comics were all about at that and they weren’t.
