Which would you say was a better show?
Also..
IYO is "The lonely man" closing piano theme better than the classic Batman series theme?

I never watched Incredible Hulk but some of the villains on Batman were pretty good. Romero, Meredith, Gorshin, and Newmar were all really good. West and Ward were a little too corny but really those costumes ruined them. The live action Spiderman series was better though.

Watched both growing up, got to give the edge to The Hulk.

Two incredibly different shows, I wouldn't even think to compare them.
Overall, 60's Batman is probably more entertaining to me. Great guest actors, colorful sets, and generally fun. I'm afraid it's a little lost on current audiences who believe in grim, realistic, depressed, brooding, black rubber-suited heroes.

David Banner spent a shite load of money on pants.

When I was a kid, I was all about Lou Ferrigno/Hulk. When I watch old episodes now, I think Bill Bixby made that show.

Batman by a pretty wide margin.The show was absolutly huge in the 60's and just about all the villians were very good actors...better than Dick and Bruce. The show also had some pretty high production values. The Hulk had some really shitty sets and it looks like they spent very little money on production.
like some said earlier Bill Bixby made the show.

No contest. Batman was an international phenomenon.

Both were very entertaining shows but you have to give the edge to the show that gave the world the "Batusi" dance.

I loved me some Hulk as a kid but if forced to watch 10 hours of either show today, I don't think I could watch Hulk whereas seeing the various villains of Batman would be fun.
Plus Julie Newmar for the win.

I'm also looking forward to this, which was posted here a while back by BulldogXero: Return of the Caped Crusaders

I'd have brought her to the batcave.
Nice arse for the 1960s.

Batman was intentionally campy and pulled it off.
The Hulk was consistent with a long line of similar shows - Have Gun, Will Travel and Kung Fu, to name a couple that came before it (and things like Quantum Leap and The Pretender afterward) - and did a decent job of that - not necessarily consistent with the Marvel Hulk property and, of course, the Ferigno Hulk scenes were ridiculous. For contemporary shows, it was probably directly competing with The 6 Million Dollar Man and was adequate for the task.
Overall, Batman wins this one - the influence on successive television shows is not inconsiderable.
Theme - tough, but Batman wins that one, too, although much closer. "The Lonely Man" is pretty money.

I still think Lee Meriwether was the best Catwoman. Newmar is hotter, but Meriwether's harsh edge is the best character IMO. She's just more commanding and imposing and also gives the character a soft side.

Speaking of whom - 2 out of 3 Catwomen appeared on Star Trek: TOS - as the female guest lead - Newmar in "Friday's Child" and Meriwether in "That Which Survives." Batgirl appeared, too, in "Whom Gods Destroy."
Frank Gorshin (Riddler) appeared in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" and Roger Carmel (Col. Gumm) is the only actor who appeared as the same character more than once, but not part of the crew, in TOS as Harry Mudd in "Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd."

Wonder if Harry killed himself when they replicated all those copies of his shrill wife.
