Batman<\/a>. Lord of the Night. Guardian of Gotham. Friend of Paris Hilton’s great-grandfather<\/strong>. Okay, no, wait a minute, what?! Just as you read it: the 42-year-old billionaire could, technically, stroll through the pages of the Batman at any time because it is more than stipulated that the two live together in the same universe. Don’t believe it? Fasten your bat-belt because this story is not to be believed.<\/p>\n\n\n

Holy Hiltons, Batman!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surely you remember some of the ridiculous ‘Batman’ covers from the 50s: Batman and Robin meet the three musketeers, fight against El Papagayo in South America, adopt the Bat-dog, become a mermaid\u2026 Every month, three absolutely bizarre adventures awaited children at a time when superhero comics<\/a> were nothing more than a diversion for kids<\/strong>. The good thing is that the hero was not a universal icon, and these absurdities remained only in children’s playgrounds\u2026 Until 1966 came along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years earlier, the arrival of ‘The Fantastic Four’<\/a> broke superhero comics in two: for the first time, Marvel showed that more or less mature stories could be made, even if they were aimed at children. Comic books crossed the borders of schools and reached universities: DC could not be left behind, and in 1964 Carmine Infantino reimagined Batman with a darker, more realistic tone<\/strong> and a new costume that could not show off enough. The culprit, William Dozier, an ABC producer tasked with making a series about a certain masked superhero I had never heard of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It mattered little that Infantino and John Broome were changing the history of comics at the time: Dozier bought a dozen Batman comics<\/a>, including a compilation of stories from the 1950s (the 1965 ‘Giant Batman Annual’), and assumed that the character had not evolved at all. Said and done: the 1966 series starring Adam West would be exactly that campy, absurd and unabashed<\/strong>. But that’s another story. For the moment let’s use it to understand the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press that presses you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The TV series changed everything. Suddenly, Batman was born for many people who began to wear his logo on T-shirts, hats, cards, toys and every kind of merchandising imaginable<\/strong>. It was such a success that, as if it were ‘The Simpsons’<\/a> now, celebrities began to line up to have a part in the series. Bruce Lee, Otto Preminger, Jerry Lewis, Joan Collins, Zsa Zsa Gabor\u2026 Everyone who was anyone in the 60’s consciously made a fool of themselves in ‘Batman’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
