At this point in the 60's, batman was still a more underground character (mostly popular with comic book readers). But when this show came along it changed everything! It brought batman and all of his villains/sidekicks into the mainstream. And with it being on television, it got more attention then if it was a film, since at the time television was taking over film. Also, batman was in COLOR!! Which was a very big deal and probably got a lot of people to buy color televisions. Now I have to talk about the show. The show itself is very colorful, and to me that's great! I love how it looks like a comic book literally came on to the small screen. There was always cliff hangers at the end of episodes which made you want to come back next time. Now...lets get it out of the way. The camp factor. Yes, the show is a bit campy, but I think that's the appeal of it. It can resonate with both children and adults alike! I love films like the dark knight and batman 1989, but watching the 66 show is a completely different experience. A fun, colorful, enjoyable experience. Without this show we without a doubt wouldn't have any batman movies now....or, maybe we wouldn't even have any superhero movies.
score 10/10
