Holy camp site, Batman! After a fabulously successful season on TV, the campy comic book adventure hit the big screen, complete with painful puns, outrageous supervillains, and fights punctuated with word balloons sporting such onomatopoeic syllables as 'Pow!,' 'Thud!,' and 'Blammo!' Adam West's wooden Batman is the cowled vigilante alter ego of straight-arrow millionaire Bruce Wayne and Bruce Ward's Robin (a.k.a. Dick Grayson, Bruce's young collegiate protégé) his overeager sidekick in hot pants. Together they battle an unholy alliance of Gotham City's greatest criminals: the Joker (Cesar Romero, whooping up a storm), the Riddler (giggling Frank Gorshin), the Penguin (cackling Burgess Meredith), and the purr-fectly sexy Catwoman (Lee Meriwether slinking in a skin-tight black bodysuit). The criminals are, naturally, out to conquer the world, but with a little help from their unending supply of utility belt devices (bat shark repellent, anyone?), our dynamic duo thwarts their nefarious plans at every turn. Since the TV show ran under 30 minutes an episode (with commercials), the 105-minute film runs a little thin--a little camp goes a long way--but fans of the small-screen show will enjoy the spoofing tone throughout. Leslie H. Martinson directs Lorenzo Semple's screenplay like a big-budget TV episode minus the cliffhanger endings. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - The Original Riddler!!! Why this movie is worth buying!!!!!
If you can't wait for the next film after Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, get this 1960's classic; especially if you can't wait to see the Riddler and are tired of the Jim Carrey version.
Whether you prefer Christian Bale or Michael Keaton, Adam West is easily arguable as the second best (if not the first) Batman/Bruce Wayne.
Not only does this movie have the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), it also includes a mousestached-Joker (Cesar Romero), a Grumpy Old Men-Penguin (Burgess ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
My grandson loves this movie. When I watch it with him, you can certainly see the difference in todays shows and back in the 60's and 70's. Then we wonder why so many kids have attitudes? I much prefer to let children watch some of the old reruns and the Nogin learning channel as opposed to the new released violent movies or even cartoons.
Rating: - Great Oldie!
This is the best movie from the older times. The humor and graphics do together on this film. A must for anyone's collection!
Rating: - A Perfect Buy! (Blu-Ray Review)
To all those who are contemplating getting this on Blu Ray, a word of advice...Go get it NOW!
I have to hand it to Fox with this one. Even though I'm a staunch fan of the darker interpretation of Batman (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in particular) I still believe that this film holds a place in history.
I loved this movie as a child, I hated this movie as a teenager. It represented a campy version of my favorite Super Hero and frankly, comparing it to the likes of "The Killing Joke" ... Read More
Rating:  - The Bat-spray, ladder, fan club helicopter! Oh my god.
Na na na na na na Batman! Im back and ready for this movie featuring the second caped crusader (Adam was not the first). In this movie there are four villians. The Riddler played by the late Frank Gorshin, Catwoman played by Lee Meriwether, Penguin played by Burgess Meredith, and the Joker played by Cesar Romero. Batman played by Adam West and Robin played by Burt Ward are great in this classic campy movie. This movie is overacting at its best. Its great and will be great in your Batman collection. ...
