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.

Hahaha! Relax. And don't feel sorry for me. I had a great childhood, thanks to great actors like West who "got" that Batman could be fun and lighthearted. It wasn't the lowest common denominator--far from, in fact. I grew up reading the same comics, movies, and animated shows as you Kain. I may have started with the Super Friends, but I graduated to Batman the Animated Series and embraced Burtons Dark Knight as well as Nolan's (it's just too easy to make fun of Bale's voice though). I also enjoyed Brave and Bold which seemed to "get" West's interpretation and still bring something new.

The difference being, I can appreciate multiple interpretations. You seem to be quite wound up about it though. Best of luck to you.
