At the same panel, Serafinowicz specifically mentioned West's Batman as an influence, particularly the earnestness.

It’s goofy and it keeps the jokes coming, for the most part. I’mtrying to think why I like this and couldn’t care less about the “TheDefenders.” Part of it is that there’s no characters in “The Tick” dragging itto a stop. I’m looking at you, Iron Fist. And the jokes keep coming. As someone noted somewhere else, perhaps in an earlierthread in this group, this version of “The Tick” focuses more heavily onArthur, who The Tick is trying to make his sidekick. That story centers arounda special suit that The Tick stole for Arthur and others want back. For me, theweakest part of the first six episodes is Arthur’s storyline. He seems toowhiny and the plot drags when it focuses too much on him. There’s an odd collection of superheroes and villains. Butthe star is Peter Serafinowicz as The Tick. His version seems to channel Adam West at times. And they successfullymine his naïve earnestness for comedy. Serafinowicz plays it like someone whowas deeply home-schooled. Since I had already seen the pilot, the other five episodeswent by quickly. I guess another six will drop. I have no idea when or if theyhave even been shot yet. -- -- -- TV or Not TV ....
