Adam West conquered our hearts as the light hearted Caped Crusader way back on January 12th, 1966. His charm and his wit solidified him as a national treasure and he helped propel the show to great heights! He was always so energetic and passionate about the character. Even when Batman returned to the shadows, and the character once again became the Dark Knight, West never apologised for his portrayal! And quite rightly so! The crew on that show knew what they were doing and I'm glad to see that fans are coming back around again to giving it love. It really set the world ablaze! Batman was the perfect show for all the family. The kids wanted to be Batman and the parents could enjoy the incredibly goofy humour! It also had several great messages!

Adam West's Batman became very influential amongst the kids of that era! He was always banging on about the duties of citizens and the importance of being a good person. They had a lot of fun on that show but Batman would never kid about the importance of law and order, honesty and kindness. So behind all of the gadgets and goofiness, the show also had a heart of gold.

It is iconic and is still remembered fondly today, 50 years later! There is even an ongoing comic that takes place within that continuity. The writers really nail the atmosphere of the original show.
