this effort to dramatize the original is annoying
The Adam West series wasn't the original. The comic book was. And it was dark for its time - a combination The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes.
uh ok about 7 posters have made this point.
I don’t like dark stuff, I think one has to filter what one lets through their eyes to their soul. For that reason, I don’t like creepy movies, dark movies, scary movies, graphic movies. I like the ones it takes more intelligence to develop where there is an actual script with writing, where audience reaction is healthy, not manipulated and did you ever notice it takes more intelligence to build than to destroy? More intelligence to portray light than darkness? I go for the good stuff.
