This footage is exactly why I felt compelled to buy the movie rights to Batman in 1979 and devote my life and career to finding a way to restore the darkness and dignity to The Dark Knight. Thanks to the genius of Chris Nolan, Tim Burton, Anton Furst, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and so many others, the below image is not the one and only image the world knows as Batman. Having met and known Batman's earliest creative team of Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson, I feel that despite all the quicksand traps along the decades-long path, it has all been worth it. That said, I also have the greatest respect for Adam West and his Bat team which, though no longer the only interpretation of Batman offered to the world, is today an important portal to young kids to first get to know The Caped Crusader before eventually graduating to the animation, the comic books, the movies, and the videogames.share
