  • Best writer to work on Batman period. This guy made Batman the dark brooding creature of the night we have all come to love.

  • @stigler30 The 60s TV show popularized Batman as a campy comedy to mainstream audiences. Batman comic books were campy long before but in a different way. In the 50s controlled by editor Jack Schiff it was a more sci-fi campy comedy with Bat-Mite, silly pink aliens, goofy transformations. In the 60s controlled by editor Julius Schwartz it was like a sitcom comedy with Aunt Harriet at Wayne Manor to take care of Bruce and Dick like Aunt Bee taking care of Andy and Opie on the Andy Griffith Show.

  • mister you are GREAT!

  • Batman was campy long before the TV show came about.

  • Denny... if you watch this... YOUR SUPERMAN WAS AMAZING. Truly the beginning of the bronze age!
