Via The Mary Sue, a bizarre 1967 take on the character, primarily played for laughs about her mother worrying that she’ll always stay single. Plus a weird insult regarding WW’s looks. Just…wow.
They were clearly hoping for the next Adam West Batman. It did not work. I think the creators missed the fact that Batman worked on two levels – kids could enjoy it as straight-up action even as grown-ups laughed.
Luke Y. Thompson has been writing professionally about movies and pop-culture since 1999, and has also been an actor in some extremely cheap culty and horror movies you will probably never hear much about (he is nonetheless mostly proud of them, as he met his wife on one). As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.)
Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
