Likewise.Bale.
I'm also very partial to West for the campy portrayal.
Keaton and Bale neck and neck..
People should give massive credit to Adam West, though. He made Batman massively popular. Without him, there would be no subsequent Batmans.
Right. Without Adam West's campy portrayal of Batman in the 60's no one would have ever wanted to see Batman on screen again.
The logic of that statement is baffling. That's like saying if Nick Hammond didn't portray Spider-Man in the 1970's TV show, there never would have been a Spider-Man movie.
Same reaction here. Orlok tends to pull stuff from up in the clouds.![]()
Without the 60s show, Batman would not be as popular.. the comics may still have been in circulation.. but the 60s series helped Batman become a household name.
Adam West was key to making that show work. I mean, if they chose Lyle Waggoner instead.. see for yourself:

Your argument is ridiculously flawed. If anything the West show hindered a serious film portrayal of Batman, rather than helped it.
