Did Adam West ruin Batman?

Regarding “Adam West, Our Forever Batman” [June 12]: I feel exactly the opposite. As a child, I was an aficionado of DC comic books in the ’50s and early ’60s. When I happened to see a comic book during the show’s run, I saw that the TV show’s campiness had even polluted the comic books. He was the worst Batman ever, even worse than George Clooney.
