3. Batman: The Movie

The 1966 Adam West Batman show is one of the most important pieces of superhero media of all time; you can fight me on that one.

It’s also fantastic and hilarious on purpose. And I can’t put the whole series on a list of movies because, y’know, it’s not a movie. But I can put the feature film they made during the series on this list. A: This movie is so skillful in its comedy. “Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb,” is one of the best lines in the context of the decade.

I mean, I’ve already explained how Batman ’66 saved Batman as a character from disappearing into obscurity, but for those who haven’t read all my previous articles, because I don’t expect you to, I’ll recap. Batman comics in the fifties and sixties were selling incredibly poorly, and nearing cancellation. The ’66 TV show propelled the character back to relevance and success.

If you like Batman, you owe that silly sixties show and movie a debt of gratitude.
