The "New Look" Batman was such a shocking change from what came before...no more Batwoman, Bathound, Batgirl, Batmite, Sons of Batman & Robin, etc. But was it really such a success? Barely a year and a half passed and the Batman tv show forced the comic books to camp it up; zaps and pows were every damn where. DC milked that dry, until O'Neil and Adams gradually brought a new old look to the Dark Knight. And it's gotten darker and grimmer as the decades pass. No, the "New Look" was over before it began; blink and you could miss it!
