Adams is recognized for bringing a grim realism to the comic book property at the time it was connected with the cartoony, colourful TV series starring Adam West during his time working on Batman in the early 1970s.
Along with reinventing classic Batman villains like Two-Face and the Joker, Adams and his writers at the time also co-created the Gotham baddies Man-Bat and Ra’s al Ghul.
Adams’ take on the Joker, which returned the character to his roots as a homicidal maniac in clown makeup, served as an inspiration for the villain who would appear countless times on the big screen and in graphic novels in the decades that followed.
