Back when the first Batman movie came out in the late 80's it seemed like it was an on switch for Batman The TV Series hating.
Most people wrote off the TV series as a joke and not the REAL Batman.
I remember a lot of people saying they were happy Adam West was not even asked to participate in the movie.
By the mid 90's a lot of people did a 180 and seem to embrace Batman '66 again --- and even with an overpowering passion that lasts until today.
Why did the Tim Burton movie make everybody hate Batman The TV series for a short time ?
Watching Batman '89 today it wasn't without it's own campiness
This was more than people liking Chris Reeve more than George and vice versa ..
The Batman thing seemed more personal
