He was also the funniest character on Family Guy (low bar, but still).

We should do some kind of batmany survivor or something to commemorate him.

Apparently the producer or something didn't like comics, so before the show even aired it was camped up. Before there was supposedly talk of Clint Eastwood playing Two-Face.

I vividly remember the first couple of episodes when they first aired. Very dark ****. The scene that sticks out is Batman about to be be dumped into an incinerator. There was absolutely no camp or comedy involved back then. They weren't even using the BAM, SMASH, SOCK, etc. exclamations during fights at that point.

Poor dude.

The best part about those scenes was the cameos by famous actors sticking their heads out a window to say something to B&R.

The first episode featured Batman dancing the Batusi according to Wikipedia.

I guess there would have been some inner turmoil and humiliation at being manipulated by Tut?
