Loading ...In the late Sixties there was a very camp Batman series on TV that was a whole new perspective on the original comic book character. He was no longer the pulp/noir hero of the 30s and 40s. My first Batman experiences were from this TV series and I remember enjoying the show, so you can understand my shock when I saw a clip on youtube that seemed more like a comedy than the Batman character Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan have given us more recently. The clips below show a scene from the old TV series, then a triler for the most recent Batman movie, the Dark Knight, and finally a MadTV clip showing a cost cutting Batman who car pools and has replaced Robin with a Mexican gardener. I hope you enjoy the clips and the contrast between Batman realisations.
