Honestly, the one thing I can think that had both the campiness of the Silver Age and was serious at times was Batman the Brave and the Bold. Like in one episode you have Batman going on an adventure like in the old comics and then the next you have stuff like Batman confronting Joe Chill and then being shoulder angel'd on the choice of whether he should die or not by 90s Batman and Joker.The Adam West show is something he likes overstating its influence due to a dislike of modern Batman. It certainly left a mark as it was the first live action Batman, if you didn't count old 40s serials, and the creation of Barbara Gordon for example but it came out in 1966. You know, the late 60s. Why is this important? This was already five years into Marvel making big strides over the "Distinguished Competition" as ol' Stan used to call them and the medium already moving to copy the soapy antics and real world drama he was known for. The Adam West show was emulating an era of comics that was nearly as old as its audience. Comics themselves were still decades away from their decline as mainstream entertainment.
