Batman is undeniably one of the most beloved and revered pop culture figures of all time. Few comic book superheroes have found as great a success in film and television as the caped crusader has. His introduction to the masses stems all the way back to 1943, in the 15-chapter theatrical serial Batman starring Lewis Wilson. The episodic short films are notable for being the first appearance of Batman in cinema, and spawned another 1949 serial Batman and Robin, this time with Robert Lowery. After a brief lull in Hollywood, the DC character returned to screens with a bang (or maybe a ‘kapow’) in the 1960s Adam West-led Batman series. The campy and light-hearted show became an instant classic and to this day is adored for its whimsical portrayal of the hero.
