Other than the costumes and the gadgets the TV show Batman was nothing like the classic comic book character. It had none of the dark undertone. Nolan's versions come closest. And if that TV show were done today in the same style the word "camp" would be replaced with its more modern euphemism "gay" (even in the 1960's you weren't allowed to use the word "queer" on TV - William F. Buckley's reference to Gore Vidal aside).

"Camp" as used to describe the TV Batman series does not mean gay. It means exaggerated and self parodying.

The movie Blazing Saddles is an example of "High Camp" humor, while the "French Mistake" scene was both camp in the gay sense in its content and high camp in its presentation.

Bendy, you were in the business. Back me up on this.
