🦇 Before Batman got dark… it got weird.

Adam West’s Batman (1966 TV series & film) is one of the strangest, boldest, and most influential superhero adaptations ever made, but does it still hold up today?

In this episode, we revisit the colorful chaos of Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, and the endlessly meme-able rogues’ gallery to answer the big question: is this version of Batman still cool by modern standards? 🎭💥

We dig into the show’s intentional camp, razor-sharp satire, pop-art visuals, and its surprisingly sincere moral code. Was this Batman a parody before parody was cool? Did it save Batman as a character or permanently warp him? And how does it compare to modern takes like The Dark Knight, The Batman, and today’s prestige superhero TV?
