Or Batman, in the late '60s', when the various Bat titles seemed to be
permanently possessed by Adam West and Burt Ward.  Or this very day, if
you look at the Joker -- it will be many a long year until the Clown
Prince of Crime quits looking like Heath Ledger.

By the start of the Adam West Batman series Carmine Infantino had
already given Batman and Robin the "new look." This happened in 1964.
The television didn't debut until 1966. It wasn't the tv show
influencing the comic. It was the comic influencing the tv show.

But as "Batmania" swept the nation, Batman's own title became more
influenced by the campiness of the tv show, and his role in JLA became
more prominent.
