What You Say: 1966s Batman TV series had a huge impact on pop culture. Even though it only lasted three seasons, its presence is so massive that decades after the show has ended, any time a newspaper writer is assigned an article about comics, they decide to be clever by including the Biff! Pow! Zam! sound effects in the title. And because of that damn show, now lots of people still think comics are campy kids stuff! Batmans not some Batusi-dancing guy with an endless supply of weird gadgets, hes a grim avenger of the night! And dont get me started on Robin. Ugh, the show was so ridiculous. But What You Really Mean: Doesnt matter if you were alive when the show was on the air or not, chances are high you watched it when you were a kid. And you loved it. You probably tied a towel around your neck and acted out the punches and kicks. Probably even called your room the Batcave. You may now prefer the dark, grim Batman, but when you were a kid, Adam West was your Batman, and you still have a copy of the movie that you watch every now and then with a smile on your face.
