Every generation
since the late 1930's has had its own Batman. For some, it’s
the original Detective Comics masked vigilante; for others,
the 1960’s TV camp version starring Adam West and Burt Wardis
is what Batman was meant to be; still others prefer the dark,
cinematic Tim Burton version starring Michael Keaton, and the
moody cartoon series that followed.
In any case, Batman has always had the same basic story:
When young Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed in front of him,
he was changed for life. As he reached adulthood, he decided
to dedicate his life to battling evil in his hometown of
Gotham City. Using his brilliant mind, toned body, and
millions of dollars, Bruce Wayne became Batman, the Dark
Knight. Eventually, Bruce took on a ward whose parents had
also been killed. That ward, Dick Grayson, trained to become
Batman’s partner, Robin. With the help of their butler,
Alfred, Batman and Robin fought an assortment of criminals
pulled from the comic series. Familiar faces like the Joker,
Penquin, the Riddler, and Catwoman were prominently featured,
while lesser known villans like Mr. Freeze, the Scarecrow, and
the Mad Hatter made at least one appearance.
The first animated version of the caped crusader debuted in
1968 and shared his TV time with Superman in The
Batman/Superman Hour. A year later, Superman was dropped
completely and the program was know simply as The Adventures
of Batman And Robin. Segments featuring Batgirl were added in
an effort to draw in a wider audience.
This version concentrated on action over story, causing it
to be banished to the Batcave until the Dynamic Duo returned
again in 1977's The New Adventures of Batman.
