When Denny O'Neil came onto the Batman books with Neal Adams the two revamped the character, striping away the campy tone that had crossed over from the Batman TV show with Adam West. Here Denny talks about what it was like working on the book and what they were going for.

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.
