Even the allegation from DC Comics that the TV series due its campy mood was ruining the character is illogical since precisely DC Comics was using Batman in also campy stories like “The Batman of Planet X” or “The Rainbow Batman” and craps similar to those. However, the hype caused by that campy TV series brought readers again to the comics saving them from disappearing. In the 60’s, those Bat-Titles were selling so bad that DC Comics seriously thought of cancelling them. …what some people don’t know is that precisely that campy TV series saved Batman & Detective Comics from being cancelled. People without knowledge of history can talk trash about the campy mood of the TV series, even DC Comics tried to tell that that TV series ruined Batman for many years… In fact, The Joker had several years without appearing in Batman & Detective Comics until the good ol’ Batman 66’ TV Series came up. Maybe it can be shocking to some people to know that The Joker wasn’t always the most popular villain in DC Comics. WILL THE BATMAN’S ARCH-VILLAIN PLEASE STAND UP?
