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:  - Batman the movie
This will take you back a while, it is very funny. Even my adult kids love this movie
Rating: - A campy, funny good time.
As a kid, the Batman movie and TV series captivated me as it all seemed so high tech and real. Watching this movie as an adult gives a new perspective and appreciation. I find myself laughing at things I didn't as a kid, either because the actors were trying to make you laugh, or because it is so campy and silly. This is a nostalgic trip back to the 60's when Batman wasn't "dark" like it is in the current movie series.
Picture quality was excellent for a movie of this age on blu ray. ... Read More
Rating:  - LOVE IT!
I am a HUGE fan of the Adam West Batman TV show and keep wishing they would release all three seasons on DVD. Until then, this movie satisfies my need for Batman in a big way. It is a HOOT!
Although it's campy, it still has more heart, excitement, imagination and pure enjoyment than both of the "ultra-realistic" Chris Nolan Bat Ninja Commando films (which I hate) combined.
Get away from all that soul-sucking "Dark(Knight)ness" and see what a GREAT Batman film is like. Get ... Read More
Rating:  - Keeper
Although this Batman movie was more camp than any of the others, It was done well and deserves a place in every Batfan's collection. This movie is based on the 60's TV series that ran the same Bat time, every Bat week on Tue and Thu nights. The Blueray edition makes it really enjoyable. The cast is all star, worth getting.
Rating: - Batman-The Movie..........
I knew, at some point, I'd be getting around to reviewing this movie. Batman-The Movie is a 1966 spin-off film of the Batman television series. It was the first full-length theatrical adaptation of the DC Comics character. It's directed by series director Leslie H. Martinson(PT 109, Rescue From Gilligan's Island) and stars: Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Lee Meriwether, Alan Napier, Neil Hamilton, Stafford Repp & Reginald Denny(in his last role). The plot goes ... Read More
