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

I bought this for my three year old because he likes Batman and the new Batman movies are not appropriate for his age. He loves this movie and has watched it over and over again. I wish they would release the 1966 series since he enjoys this movie so much.

I saw this movie when it first came out in theatres. This movie never ceases to amaze me. Although the TV series was intended for youths, it did very well in the ratings amoungst adults - including myself ater it went into sydnication. I bought this DVD a few weeks ago and I still laugh at this campy movie. The DVD includes an additional track on the movie that a person can turn on that has Adam West and Burt Ward doing an audio commentary. Although I am much older now I still laugh at the silliness ...

I bought this movie for my children mainly because in present day Batman cartoons and movies, the way the bad guys kill people is very sadistic. This movie is very child oriented and I strongly recommend it if you, as a parent, are concerned about your kids watching the junk nowadays cartoons are.

I forgot how good this was. This movie is amazing and a laugh riot. Some of the Batman movies are bad (B&Robin, B-Forever)but this is the only one to poke fun at itself and not be serious. Its so campy and over the top.. I mean, the scene "sometimes you just cant get rid of a bomb" is classic. This should be in any Batman fans collection and is worth the rewatch. Beautifully remastered and tons of special features, its definately worth it.
