#18: Batman and Robin
The Batman show from the 1960s was a new experience for TV viewers. Finally, fans were able to watch comic book characters in vivid color pull off amazing feats while defeating villains in every episode. Each episode was fast-paced and somewhat humorous and most importantly – always fun. Kids and grown-ups alike loved it.
Today’s superhero depictions are drastically different, but they owe the 1960s Caped Crusader a debt of gratitude. Special effects were new in the world of television for this show, and they had a lot to figure out. The effects look cheesy today, but at least it was a lesson in what not to do for today’s superheroes!
