The line is also surprisingly fitting for the climax of "Dark Knight Rises", if you think about it.

I used to watch this movie, and the tv show, like mad when I was growing up. This was my mom's favorite line. Thanks for commenting.

Adam West batman is so poor that its actually fun to watch, definitely the best scene ever (and also the worst).

The thing with the 1960s Batman is that it wasn't taking itself seriously, unlike some incarnations. It is, after all, a grown man dressed as a bat. It's fun. Thanks for commenting.

I'm fine with light hardheartedness but when the graphic novels it's based on are closer to today manifestations, its kind of insulting that it doesn't take itself seriously given the source material. Wouldn't have been a stretch to just make Adam West play something else in the same format. No problem.

You also have to remember that the Batman comics of the 40s were considered to rather dark for its time, hell the Joker when he was first introduced was a killer. it wasn't until the 1950s where you saw the "smiling Batman" era and then the campy 1960s TV show. I will give the TV show credit for reinventing the Riddler as a major part of Batman's Rogue Gallery much like TAS did with Mr. Freeze. But getting back to the topic, it wasn't until the 70s DC started to slowly bring Batman back to his roots starting with the "Joker's Five-way Revenge."

Adam West said it himself in his autobiography "Back To the Batcave." Hhe felt the show didn't ruin Batman but rather reflected what was going on in the Batman comic at the time. And he's right! This was the height of the Comics Code Authority which "cleaned up" much of the darkness of Batman and forced the writers to come up with more fantastic elements to keep the readers. At the time, DC was putting more science fiction into their comics due to it being popular at the time. So you had the villains coming up with goofy schemes or Batman and Robin having sci-fi heavy adventures involving space-travel aliens and time travel.
In the end, the TV series was merely a mirror of the comic. They just exaggerated and showed how silly it was.
