10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching Batman"s 6 Live-Action TV Shows

Summary

• Batman in TV often took a backseat, leaving room for sidekicks, original characters, and budget constraints.
• Gotham missed the mark by failing to focus on Batman's evolution and revealing his live-action Batsuit too late.
• Titans tried too hard to distance itself from being a kids' show, resulting in an edgy tone that missed the mark.

Batman has had a tumultuous history with live-action TV, with no series revolving around the character's mythos being unequivocally good with no qualifiers. As far back as 1966, Batman has featured in numerous live-action TV shows, with Adam West being the first live-action Batman to truly popularize the flagship DC hero. Despite the Dark Knight's history with TV, his legacy on the small screen as it stands today is far from untarnished, with each series having its own unique drawbacks.
Many of these unfortunate truths about Batman's many TV show appearances lie in Batman's actual presence in them. For whatever reason, most shows set in Gotham have Batman either taking the backseat or erased from the narrative completely, focusing on sidekicks or even original characters instead. Additionally, compared to Batman's excellent animated shows, the budgetary restraints of live-action mean that getting across a super-powered setting is inherently more difficult.
