But Goosebumps started much later in 1992.

I don't like how Jason's emotions regarding his parents' death were portrayed. Sure, there was a moment when he faltered but then he calls Bruce his new father - which is a cute scene, but it happened so fast, too fast for my taste.

Pre-crisis Batman and post-crisis Batman don't seem so different when it comes to some bad guy laying a finger on one of the batkids.
Some comics in the late 70's and early 80's had a slight pulp feel to them, which translates in a dark vibe in the stories and themes, I guess. Maybe it's the same case of Batman and Tec here.
