It is like, to them, Batman started "hardcore" Dark Knight Returns / Year One, in 1986 / 1987 rather than 1939....all blind to Batman's first forty-six years....because they instantly call it off as "cheesy", and that is after "not getting" the Adam West series, and assume "old Batman" is like that.
Two of my favorites myself...BATMAN IN THE SIXTIES (my first Bat Book while seriously starting into Batman)...plenty of Batman & Robin "Dynamic Duo" action, with some Batgirl, and even a few more "Batman Family" members, against colorful favorites, like Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Blockbuster, Scarecrow, Clayface, and Killer Moth.
and BATMAN IN THE SEVENTIES...Not quite as intense as Frank Miller, but Denny O' Neil's Batman had been greatly suspenseful and dramatic and action packed, while retaining the "Detective" in him...not to mention, one may be familiar already with some of the stories within, as quite a few episodes of BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES adapted them to television.
