William Dozier is the man responsible for bringing the 1960's Người dơi ti vi series to life, as well as being the person who narrated the show. Over the past fifty years, several people have made their own versions of Batman. While there have been lots of outstanding things done with the Người dơi franchise, the 1960's still remains Batman's best decade. There are so many things that make the 1966 ti vi series and movie so great. For this article, I'd like to focus on the main elements that made the 1960's such a special time for Batman.
The hiển thị closely resembled Bill Finger's comics, in addition to having it's own distinct vision. Bill Finger, who was the tim, trái tim and soul of the Người dơi franchise, had a very colorful, creative and imaginative style of writing. No hiển thị reflects his style better than the 1960's ti vi series. The hiển thị brought the colorful world of the Người dơi comics to life. Unlike other versions of Batman, the hiển thị wasn't afraid to be silly. They didn't feel the need to make Batman's costume thêm dour and dark. The classic costume was used throughout the entire show. The villains retained their eccentric gimmicks, the Giải cứu thế giới retained their wholesomeness and the humor and tim, trái tim of the comics were expanded to their highest degree in the TV hiển thị and movie. In addition to using storylines from the comics, the TV hiển thị came up with some fresh stories that were brilliant and hilarious.
There were so many great stories. Some examples include:
The Joker faking an alien invasion
Người dơi and chim cánh cụt campaigning to become the Mayor of Gotham
Người dơi and Riddler having a boxing match
chim cánh cụt trying to marry Barbara Gordon
Người dơi and Joker having a surfing contest
Those type of stories remain incredibly memorable. The surfing episode left such a big impression that decades after the episode first aired, merchandise was made for the episode. There were toys and Funko Pops based on it.
Another key element to the show's success were the villains. It's hard to find a single hiển thị that has a thêm entertaining group of baddies. Each of the major villains had their own distinct brand of scene-stealing greatness. Cesar Romero's Joker, Burgess Meredith's chim cánh cụt and Frank Gorshin's Riddler were absolutely amazing in their own way. Some people have accused the Joker and the Riddler of being too similar to each other, but I respectfully disagree. Cesar Romero and Frank Gorshin were both hilarious and delightful, but their flavor of humor was very different and unique. Sure, Joker and Riddler both tình yêu prancing around and laughing, but they were very different characters. Riddler was a strange, intimidating mastermind with a strong obsession with Batman, while the Joker was a wild card who would commit the silliest of crimes for the fun of it. In addition to having villains from the comics, the ti vi series came up with some new additions to the rogues gallery. Some of the most memorable ones include Victor Buono's King Tut, Roddy McDowall's Bookworm and Vincent Price's Egghead. These new additions to the rogues gallery were so great that it's a real shame that they don't appear very often in modern versions of Batman.
While the villains often lấy trộm, đánh cắp the show, the Giải cứu thế giới were also great. The villains were gleefully sneaky, while the Giải cứu thế giới were adorably wholesome. Neil Hamilton's Commissioner Gordon and Stafford Repp's Chief O'Hara provided a lot of the best comedy, while Burt Ward's Robin, Alan Napier's Alfred and Yvonne Craig's Batgirl provided a lot of genuine tim, trái tim to the show.
Of course, the show's most important element was the tiêu đề character. William Dozier's creativity, combined with Adam West's performance, led to the best version of Người dơi there's ever been. Adam West's Người dơi is both beloved and infamous for being extremely campy, especially in comparison to the modern versions of Batman. Adam West was hilarious, witty and endlessly entertaining. However, what made this version of Người dơi so wonderful was how kind and wholesome he was. It's become a được ưa chuộng trend to make Người dơi a darker and morally-questionable anti-hero. This is done to keep Người dơi from being boring, I guess, but frankly, those versions of Người dơi can't compare to the 60's Batman. The 60's Người dơi is the most noble, friendly and admirable version of Người dơi that there's ever been. In fact, he's one of the most pure-hearted versions of a superhero that there's ever been. The 1960's Người dơi may seem like a joke, but if bạn look at his morality, bạn might see thêm than just jokes. Underneath all of the goofy dances and gadgets was a ton of heart. Like the Grinch, Batman's tim, trái tim grew several sizes, and we have William Dozier and Adam West to thank for that. All these years later, this version of Người dơi remains the best version of the character that there's ever been.
