Trivia
He wrote the "bible" for "Batman's" other writers. (For example, Batman should never be shown breaking the law, not even to park in a no-parking zone during a crime-fighting emergency.) Semple came up with the idea for interspersing the show's fight scenes with colorful Pow! Zap! and Kapow! graphics. He named every device the "Bat"-this or the "Bat"-that. Robin's trademark "Holy (Fill in the Blank)!" was inspired by a similar phrase used by a character in the Tom Swift books.
Quotes
I think Batman [TV series] was the best thing I ever wrote, including those big movies. As a whole work, it came out the way that I wanted it to, and I was excited by it.
