An icon.
A bit before the Tim Burton movie came out and "redeemed" Batman, I'd found a Batman t-shirt - the real thing with the bright yellow bat sign - and everywhere I went, people were pointing finger, laughing and singing the tv series theme song. But personally, I loved that show and never tried to hide it, no matter how ridicule people thought it was.
Of course, first day of school the following year, everyone was wearing Batman t-shirts - the new ones with the golden bat sign. The Tim Burton movie had had its effect...
I was delighted when they finally released the show on DVD a few years ago, and it's been on my wishlist ever since. In the meantime, I've been watching the movie at least once a year for the last decade or so.
