Batman comics were pretty good, too. I've always thought that comic is the best medium for stories and characters that touch on horror, gothic, and mystical. In the hands of a good artist, it can really be fantastic.
I have the first three or four seasons on dvd, as well as the movie. Sometimes I'll watch them with my SO.
Was there a series in the 80's too? I watched the TV series in 60's.
ouch! but also, maybe. it's so much easier to be charming and flirty via asynchronous text than in real life.
