Fuck me, I’ve been watching 1966 Batman nonstop and I have no idea how he is not considered just straight up the best version. Just everything about this wonderful bastard is wholesome. >Robin has to pretend to play a cool punk to fool the villains >The villains easily see through it and Robin’s sad that he failed >Batman tells Robin that him being bad at playing a punk is a positive because he’s a good person
Another great one >Robin tries to save Batman and fails, and it looks like Bruce is about to die >”You tried, old chum! That’s the measure of a man, that you try!”
He’s even so great that random people offer to sit and watch his Batmobile for him when he’s busy, and never even once try to take it or fuck with it. I want my goddamned wholesome Batman back.
Cause Burtonfags and Nolanfags hate anything that isn't "muh dark and gritty" but Bat66 is based

Yea it's awesome. I think Brave and the Bold had the best balance imo.

Would it burst your bubble to find out that the whole thing was done as a piece of satirical pop art, avant garde artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Liechtenstein were on set and providing suggestions, the camp and humor were intentionally played up, and that behind the scenes all of the actors were on mountains of drugs and all fucking each other in full on orgies?
To me it just makes it that much better and makes it far more enduring and important than if it had been just a normal Batman show, but it definitely wasn't a "wholesome" show in the way I think you think it is.
And let's not forget the hot sexy female villains like Catwoman. (All THREE of them!)

I loved Cesar Romero as The Joker. No matter how much grease paint he wore, you could still see his moustache.

Nothing in the text tarnishes the wholesome themes and messages mate.

I always thought this series's Riddler and Joker were the best incarnations. Mostly due to the Riddler's laugh. I thought they were equal. We really need a new Batman cartoon that doesn't take itself so seriously.
I just love how this series shows that someone with a sad backstory doesn’t have to be a grumpy asshole or knee deep in mud to be a hero.
>Is a deputized member of GCPD, and they don’t care about his identity because they feel that they owe him for his help >Has a positive father/son relationship with Dick Grayson with no fighting or punching >Actively reaches out to henchmen or villains clearly forced into crime as Bruce Wayne and offers them jobs or moral support >Expresses the hope that one day even the Joker and Penguin would be reformed >Won’t even park near a fire hydrant or anywhere that says “No parking” >Always offers to pay for any damage his fights cause before leaving
It just really makes me happy. Batman being someone of compassion and reason without gritting his teeth or dangling people from rooftops really warms my heart. His parents being killed just made him strive to be a better citizen, not just crime fighter.
Henry Rogers
No, because what matters is what we see, not what we are expected to see.
Logan Jenkins
Why isn't Batman 66 a canon Earth? Can we get Adam West Batman to kick Batman Who Laughs's ass?
Do you really want it to be? Under DC which tries to destroy Earths on a regular basis?
Andrew Miller
Yes because West Batman is arguably the strongest Batman in the Multiverse, and the only one fit to kick Snyder's OC creation's ass. They wouldn't kill that Earth anyway
Noah Green
I like the Morrison concept that Batman has gone through phases in his career, at times being dark and gritty and at other times being light and fun. I think the timeline is >Modern age origins from Batman Year One and Legends of the Dark Knight to Dark Victory/Robin Year One >Golden/Silver Age Batman stories with Robin and Alfred. Jokers reinvented himself to become a silly clown. Batman’s become more light-hearted as a result of facing less deadly foes and having the good influence of Robin to help him >Robin goes to college, we get the Bronze Age stories of Batman living in a penthouse and meeting Ras Al Ghul >Batman gets darker in the modern age with Jason Todd dying. From here you can basically read every story in order to Morrison’s run and Batman Incorporated

SHUT UP YOU DUMB ASSHOLE
Jose Myers
Brave and the Bold is still best batman too me
John Baker
I wish DC also copied Marvel being mostly lighthearted. I think it would make all those films just way more bearable.
Blake Kelly
In the first Bookworm episode he almost turns into Frank Miller's Batman after Robin is kidnapped, that made me realize he could in fact have accidentally killed the Joker as seen in Batman '77
Nolan Myers
MCU is awful though. There is major difference between showing your heroes in a positive and more lighthearted manner, and “Let’s stop everything going on to make quips that derail the flow of the movie.”
Brody Cook
been reading pic related and wondered how come dc never made a batman character in the 30th century? and the JLof3000 doesn't count.
it's great at capturing the silver age charm and as a gateway to introduce people into more obscure heroes.I love how much little they used Superman and Wonder woman for team ups
Jaxson Garcia
Batman 66 is the best batman adaptation by far
Parker Cooper
Then why is the rest awful too?
Joseph Ramirez
It's not.
Colton Bailey
