16 Perfect Superhero TV Show Casting Choices That Nailed Their Characters

No matter your opinion of Silver Age Batman, you must realise that Adam West's Dark Knight is beyond iconic, authentic and faithful to the source material. That may seem like a ridiculous sentiment to express in an era where the Caped Crusader holds little respect for the living in his current cinematic portrayals, but it's true, Adam West is probably the most authentic Batman out there.

You only to have to pick up a '60s era Bat book to understand that the Fox show of the same name is a perfect reflection of the character's source material. West's performance itself is quintessentially cheesy, charming and, above all else, fun. Every single minute of the 1960s show is an absolute joy to watch, and Batman is obviously the highlight.

If you have a problem with it, it's probably because you don't know the character well enough in the first place.
