Batman '66 was groundbreaking for its embrace of multiple genres: comedy, sci-fi, detective fiction, and superhero lore. Unlike other popular shows of that era, which often leaned heavily into more serious or strictly defined genres, Batman mixed them fluidly. It depicted a world where cowboys, detectives, and space explorers intersected, with Batman standing out as the quintessential hero who often mixed detective work with outlandish superhero antics.
