Don't attack me all at once, because I have to express my opinion about the Batman television show.
I loved Batman as a kid, but now I prefer the movie Batman and the Cartoon (90s version) to the television series. When I think of Batman, I think of a man who saw his parents brutally murdered, and as a result he has a large chip on his shoulder.
The Batman I am used to seeing now, is vicious, and he will stop at nothing to get the person responsible for killing his parents.
In my opinion, Adam West does not bring this out and his portrayal of Batman, his version is a kinder more gentler Batman, when in reality their was nothing kind or gentle about Batman.
Don't get me wrong, I do love Adam West and Burt Ward and their comical portrayal of the Cape Crusaders. But I wish that they allowed Adam West to play his role on the edge.
But I realize the series ran in the 60s, where the writers and producers had to be very careful on what they put on air due to the censors.
But once again, this is only my opinion.
