Graphics on PS2, XBox and Gamecube games could (roughly) be associated with the portrayal of Batman in the Adam West series; graphics on XBox 360 and PS3 games could be compared to Michael Keaton's Batman; and a generational leap may lead to The Dark Knight Rises Batman.

The budget of the 1966 Batman was $1,400,000 Million (roughly $10 million with inflation), the Tim Burton Batman cost $35,000,000 (roughly $60 million with inflation), and The Dark Knight Rises cost $250,000,000.
