My first was Superfriends. I saw that before reading the comics. I also watched TAS before the comics.
I find that the less Batman deals with Metas, the more I like the stories. Batman fighting someone with twice his strength is believable. Fighting Kryptonians is just dumb.
In my humble opinion Batman doesn't need humor, he need to be put in situations where his lack of humor is hilarious; for example…

«It's like kids trying to write stories for adults or something.»
There is an huge difference among write a good story and try to write a great one.
«Heroism is not about being perfect or always winning, but breathing hope into the hopeless.»
Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.
Batman's funniest for me in two situations.
First, when he's comically serious, that's his thing in the LEGO Batman games while being surrounded by colorful people...
Second is when he just deadpans savage jokes. Like in BTAS when he and Harley escaped an exploding plane with Joker in it. Harley yelled "Puddin!" and Batman just deadpans "he's probably one by now"
To be fair, even in some of the campiest portrayals of Batman like Adam West or the Brave and the Bold animated series, Batman is the straight man to everything that goes on around him.
Yeah, I am always a little confused when people act like those 2 versions, especially Adam West's, were funny characters. In the 60's series the villains and situations around him were funny but he was always dead serious, I think people confuse the campy tone of the show mixed with West's Batman not being dark with the character himself being humorous.
He really wasn't.
Strangley enough despite the darker universe he was in and more violent persona he had I'd say Batfleck was a more comedic character than either Adam West or the Brave and the Bold Batmen. In Justice League alone he had more quips than either of those 2 had in their entire series.
I refer my Batman in medias purely for very little children, since that's when he's always most in character to me , as his supporting cast. The dark and "mature" angle is tricky. It's necessary but very few manage to keep him in-character through that.
After all, Batman BECAME a hero just for children, despite what his modern portrayals always tried to tell us.
So i'll always cherish Lil Gotham, Lego batman, Batman Unlimited and B vs TMNT , even Batman Ninja, more than say DCEU or the later part of BTAS universe. Only some BTAS episodes hold up. As a whole show, The Batman (2004) beats it for me.

If u are strictly speaking good Batman stories in another medium then Nolan.
