That's an Adam West-ish looking Batman. Although the Bat-hound possibly pushes the timeline back to maybe the Jack Schiff pre-Infantino (i.e., pre-1964) period.
In the biographical book THE AMAZING WORLD OF CARMINE INFANTINO, Infantino says when he was given the books in 1964, BATMAN and DETECTIVE were on the verge of cancellation, sales were so low. And his "new look" was a trial, where if sales didn't improve in 6 months, they'd have cancelled them!
Hard to believe, with the billion-dollar franchise Batman is today. Sales rose with Infantino's run on the series, and then skyrocketed with the Batman TV series. I always think of the Neal Adams period (1968-1974, he took over after another slump in sales) as the high point of BATMAN and DETECTIVE. But sales from the 1970-1974 period no doubt pale, relative to the 1966-1968 period of the Adam West series.
