No, I don't like Adam West's Batman. Batman, like TMNT, should be a dark serious character-driven action-drama.

Hard disagree with ya there hombre, Batman should be a dark serious character OR a silly fun superhero. Which we used to HAVE when the DC multiverse was made specifically so fans could enjoy different interpretations of different characters, BUT NOW every single universe just looks like a stupid exact copy in terms of tone. So much so, that the bulk of fans are kinda sick of dark Batman. What trailer got more rave reactions of joy, Batman V Superman, or the Lego Batman movie? The people have spoken, MAKE BATMAN BEATBOX!

BUT-we may fall into the same problem with gritty Batman, where he became too much of the norm for too long that he out-stayed his welcome. The same happened with silly Silver Age Batman, whenever something is popular in superhero stories the bigwigs milk it until its not only dry, but when the cow has died from years of malnourishment. DC should run their properties like a dairy, don't place all the pressure on one cow, have a BUNCH of cows and milk them all equally.

Kevin's replacement Jim Lawson also was never that fabulous at drawing people, but his art could still narrate well enough. When it comes to really good Mirage TMNT artists, I always preferred Peter Laird and Eric Talbot.

True, true, Pete is the man.
