i must say that, as much as i despise the batman from that time period, i actually really enjoy the BATMAN television series with adam west.
AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN THAT TIME PERIOD!!
im not looking for batman 5, the movie, to be based on the television series. its a fond memory and reflection of that time period, but ONLY a reflection!
comics today should really not be based on ANYthing from the past (within reason), regardless of time period. like i said above, the only way to generate a new generation of fans is to generate new comics and new stories for old comics.
rucka's batman, marvel knights, loeb/mcguinnes' superman, smiths GA, morrison's JLA, morrison's X-men, ultimate spider-man... these are INFINITELY more important to the comic world than, say, a new hawkman or martian manhunter series, based on "classic" stories.
comic books are not cars!
