From 1966 to 1968, both on ABC and in theaters, America embraced
Batman as a campy cultural icon. But in the ensuing decades, many
vilified the show as an embarrassment that needed to be swept under
the rug if Batman -- and super-heroes -- were to be taken
seriously. Now, we can return to Adam West's Gotham... to the
unapologetic fun of colorful, cackling villains hatching bizarre
schemes... to phrases like "Atomic batteries to power " and "Same
bat-time, same bat-channel ..". to deadpan heroes climbing walls
and defying deathtrap cliffhangers... and find these aspects rich
with cultural meanings we may have ignored. GOTHAM CITY 14 MILES
offers the series the critical reevaluation it deserves. The book's
diverse essays examine Batmania, camp, the role of women, the show
and '60s counter-culture, the show's celebrated actors, its lasting
cultural effects, and other subjects. From Sequart Research &
