DC Comics has deemed today to be the official Batman Day despite his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 having its anniversary several months earlier. I finally realized they probably chose later so it would coincide with the overhyped, over-attended San Diego convention.
Doesn’t matter to me since I have better, cooler and cheaper things to do around Austin. Plus I need to save up for the long overdue boxed set encompassing the entire run of the Sixties TV version. Sure it’s campy. Sure it’s tongue-in-cheek. Sure it’s a product of its time. Batman remains a great show that has held up over the decades. You just need to be a little kid or an adult to enjoy it since there’s a zone in between when you can’t because it’s “just stupid,” thanks to an irony deficiency.
