Look, if you ever discover the meaning of life, be sure to let us know. However, it seems like people get so caught up in what everything means that they forget to actually live and enjoy their lives. Sometimes, doing something for the purpose of having fun is a decent enough reason in itself.

While today, Batman is considered one of the more serious superheroes, older generations will remember a time when the character was openly and brazenly silly, much to the delight of fans everywhere.

Of course, we're talking about the 1960's series, Batman, starring Burt Ward and Adam West. In previous interviews, West actually explained that what drew him to the role was the absurdity of the series played completely seriously by the characters.

Serious creator William Dozier was open about the fact that there wasn't any deeper hidden agenda in Batman.

"I didn't feel there was anything meaningful about Batman," said Dozier during an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "Batman wasn't intended to be meaningful."

While West found a certain charm in the series, Dozier explained that creating the series was more of a professional decision than anything else.

"I'm in business too," he said. "The same as the networks. I don't feel that every television show has to be meaningful. They couldn't possibly be. There must be a variety. Batman was designed primarily and totally to entertain, and it did. It didn't demean its audience. Children didn't learn anything bad from Batman. They learned a few very high moral principles."
