batman costume. Todays modern look
One of our favourite characters, batman, spans across generations. He was the hero for kids the 1939′s and remains so today.
Batman spends his daily life as Bruce Wayne who runs his own well established business. His dark background,we are led to believe, is what gives him the dark persona, having witnessed the murder of his parents.
Robin appears as his sidekick and his butler appears before each adventure he undertakes. Our hero has no super powers, unlike superman, despite the antics described in comic magazines.
The public liked the character when it was launched and the longevity led to his appearance in a tv series in the 60′s.
We have followed batman in films, comic strips and movies for over 65 years, starting in a newspaper strip in 1943. 2 TV serials appeared in the 40′s which helped establish batman as a popular character and a household name.
120 tv episodes started in 1966 and ran until 1968. Batman was scripted with a camp sense of humor, which Adam West the actor was not too happy about. It did not seem to affect the popularity of batman.
Tv series continued with super friends, an animated version of batman from Hana Barbera. The voice over was non other than Adam West yet again
