Biography:
Rainbow Batman, specifically the 'Pad Printed' variant, is a notable visual element from the 1966 Batman television series starring Adam West. He did not have an extensive backstory or significant character development within the show itself.
The Rainbow Bat costume first appeared in Detective Comics #241 (March 1957) in the story "The Rainbow Batman." In the show, the costume appeared to serve a practical, if unconventional, purpose. It was created to distract criminals in order to protect Robin.
The logic, according to the show's narrative, was that by wearing a series of brightly colored bat suits, Batman could draw attention to himself, ensuring that criminals would be less likely to target the boy wonder. The costumes were therefore functional as well as memorable visual touchstones within the campy aesthetic of the show.
Despite his lack of a complex personality, Rainbow Batman has endured as a symbol of the show's unique and often humorous take on the classic superhero.
