Saving The Comic Book
The Batman comic book was about to be canceled when the television series debuted. The success of the series ended up saving the comic book. Sales were slumping before the series aired and then the show gave it the boost it needed.
Who’s Batman?
Alan Napier was cast as Alfred the Butler but he had no idea who Batman was. He had never heard of the caped crusader before the show began filming and didn’t know that his performance would be responsible for reviving a comic book character.
