Back in 1992 I saw a rerun of Batman: The Movie (1966) on TV and I saw Batman Returns in theaters...Needless to say I was unimpressed by both films but shortly afterwards I saw Batman: The Animated Series on Fox and I was impressed. B:TAS converted me into a Batman fan.
Adam West can kick your ass. :mad2:
Adam West sucks Christian Bale could kick his ass and Bale could kick Michael Keaton's ass too!:DQuote:

Roto you and Ouch didn't even watch Batman: The Animated Series back in '92 did you?
The Batman with Jim Carry as the riddler (I think Val Kelmer(sp) was the batman) didn't make you a fan?
A cartoon did?
Shame shame. That's like me being a fan of X-men after watching the cartoon, when in reality I started watching the cartoon after owning way to many comic books. :(
Yeah because the Batman cartoons back in the '90s were actually better than the live-action Batman films. The Burton and Schumacher films were more about visual storytelling...which is fine if you're one of those people who doesn't appreciate literary storytelling.Quote:

I would say Batman Returns got me into it, but then I'll just get yelled at for not liking the animated show first.
Animation is the only aspect of The Batman that's actually better but B:TAS still has good literary storytelling.Quote:

Let me guess you either liked Catwoman or The Penguin in Batman Returns?...Because quite frankly there's nothing to like about Batman himself in that film IMHO. (In Batman Returns Batman himself was more or less a backround character.)Quote:

I look at it this way, if the comics didn't exist neither would the movies or the cartoons, so the comics are the only thing worth being biased towards.
