The box office success of Deadpool proves there’s a market out there for superhero spoofs. Hollywood immediately took notice: Suicide Squad is rumored to be going through re-shoots to make it lighter and funnier (or not?). But there’s another superhero parody firmly entrenched in pop culture for almost half a century. We’re talking, of course, about the 1966 Batman TV show.
People often dismiss 1966 Batman as being too campy. However, as goofy as the show is, it is often genuinely entertaining precisely because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. These live-action adventures of Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) originally aired on ABC for three seasons and 120 episodes, proving that the superhero genre can succeed outside of children’s comic books. With the unrelenting grimness of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still lingering in our minds, it’s just the right time to cheer ourselves up with a list of 12 Reasons Why The Batman TV Show Is Still Fun.
