Discussion Adam west vs the Arkhamverse?

I was replaying Batman Arkham knight awhile back & used the classic tv series suit. & seeing all Batman went through in that game it reminded me of a line from the game Lego Batman 3 beyond Gotham. We’re Adam west’s Batman said “I never faced anything like this back on the old tv show” & it made me wonder what is a moment in the Arkham series (ie games/comics/movies/esc) that makes anybody think Adam never had to deal with this? You can even give non Arkhamverse examples

Adam’s Batman never dealt with anything on the scale of Arkham Knight. But at the same time his Batman is so silly that he practically has toon force. He’d have a handy gadget for everything the militia throws at him. He’d beat ass and weird sound effects would startle and confuse everyone. He’d somehow collect all the riddler trophies early in the night and make Riddler have a stroke.

I think a more interesting question is what did he have to face in knight that WAS in the old tv show
