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

Well I purchased this 2008 version and have learned it is identical to the 2001 release. All the interviews are from the last release. The only difference is the packaging ! All the interviews mention the 35th anniversary of Batman the series but we are now at a 42 year anniversary. Its a great movie with wonderful extras but it would have been nice of Fox to add a little something extra since they re-released this disc. If you own the 2001 edition as I do you will be disapointed spending more ... Read More

If you love all things BATMAN then you'll enjoy this childish adventure. If you already own the previous DVD you do not need to buy this...there is nothing new to offer. It is a reissue in a new box...all the content is the same...down to the transfer!

My kids had never seen the old Batman show. Within the first couple minutes, they saw Batman climb down the bat rope ladder (labled by sign at bottom) then attacked by a shark. The shark was attached to his leg, until Robin climbed down with the bat shark repellent. If this is the kind of humor and action you want to see, then definitely buy the movie. My family was almost in tears, we were laughing so much.

If you liked the original TV series, you'll love the movie. It is just as wonderfully and ridiculously cheesy as the original TV series. I ordered this to watch with my two sons. They are 4 and 6 and they loved this movie. I mean there's good guys, bad guys, the bat-mobile (which rocks), nutty fight scenes (POW!) and bat-gadgets galore! What's there not to love about this movie? The best cheesy scene ever in the history of movies is in this movie; Batman and Robin flying the bat-helicopter (of ... Read More

Features NOT listed. The original is anamorphic ws & hsd some nice features. It'd be nice if Amazon would tell us what is on this "Special Edition". I don't know whether to keep my 2001 released dvd or buy the new one & without information you really can't make a proper decision.
