THE CAMPY CAPED CRUSADER GOES WEST...

Adam West as THE BATMAN 

Yeah, don't worry about the title - it doesn't make much sense. (Grabbed your attention 'though, didn't it?) Look at the above photo - I can't help but think that it actually goes some way in capturing the dark and mysterious aspect of BATMAN as he was originally envisioned. It makes me wonder what the result would have been had the TV Producers decided to go down that avenue instead of the one they ultimately chose. Would it have been as successful as it was? Who knows? One thing's for sure, however - the childhoods of  kids in the '60s would have been markedly different. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?
