Favorites were Caesar Romero as The Joker and Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

Frank Miller changed everything with "Dark Knight," and I was too young to have experienced the original, dark Batman comics.

For me, the Adam West / Burt Ward Batman & Robin, as well as the comics that somewhat mirrored them at the time (even though they weren't quite as campy), were IT.

Rest in peace, Adam.
