Much has been said (and debated) about the campier aspects of the show. But as a ten-year-old, I was oblivious to much of the show’s wild and farcical humor. To me, Batman was a straightforward, exciting adventure series about a brave, uncynical and resilient superhero. West’s Batman was the “Bright Knight,” an unconflicted and eternally optimistic champion of justice, with an unwavering sense of right and wrong.
