Sure, there were comics of Batman that had a fun side. They did a great job of featuring that in The Brave and the Bold cartoon, but they were still far more intellectual than what the shit Adam West gave us. Hell, I don't remember Batman ever having a gut in the comics even during its goofy years.

And I am not basing my Batman off the Nolanverse and the Arkham games. I am basing off my Batman from the Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, and Len Wein era in the 70s when Batman was brought back to being what he was supposed to be. And in case you did not realize this, that is the era that a lot of the Nolanverse and Batman the Animated Series were taken from.

The only way I will approve of this series coming out on DVD is if they change its title to Batfake, since that is what it is.

Doc Kain here said it better that I could have. I'm not some kid who came to Batman by way of Arkham City or even the Nolan films. I started reading in '88 and the Burton Batman film cemented The Batman as my favorite character.

The best stories of The Batman have dealt with his humanity but also his dark drive: those by O'Neil, Len Wein, Englehart, Grant, Dixon, Dini, Timm, etc.

The Batman series was--and is--an abomination, a diluted, kiddified version of The Batman. My girls know we don't watch it our household. It's insulting to their intelligence as young children.

As for Kane selling out, wouldn't surprise me. Now if Finger had been in the driver's seat (or even the passenger's) it wouldn't have been a stupid show. Probably would have been somewhat light (Adventures of Superman) but still an action show with more serious overtones.
