The 60's show did the same thing for that generation as the 1989 Batman movie and B:TAS did for the 90's generation, it brought Batman back for an entire new generation of fans who had no idea who he was.

I dunno, Batman's been around forever. Same as Dick Tracy or Superman. When characters have been around THAT long, I don't pay as much attention to the origins or history.

I only go back as far as GOOD Batman. Or, at least, Batman that appeals to me, which is the '90's. Around the time of "No Man's Land" in the comics, and Batman TAS. Anything before that just doesn't do it for me...
