If you like Batman...and I mean a lot, then this is a good buy...but only if you want to see what Batman was like back in the days when we were still fighting Hitler. I would have given it one star if it were something other than Batman. The acting was terrible, the camera work was horrible, and they were so damn racist back then (but then again, it was the 40's which explains all of those set backs). I wanted to give it 3 stars, but I just doesn't deserve it...at all. Oh, and Robin is a creepy ... Read More

I've seen, practically, every live-action version of Batman, in some capacity. That is, except for the 1943 & 1949 movie serials that followed the debut of the comic in 1940. So, it was with alot of excitement to get my hands on Batman-The Complete 1943 Movie Serial 2-disc DVD Collection. This is the very first film version of Batman ever made and, I must say, certainly fits the mold for the comic at the time. While politically incorrect, it is still a must-see for Batman fans.

Besides the normal fun of a serial, the politically incorrect terms used for the Japanese during the war and the wise government view of "internment" was shocking at first, but considering the fact we were at war with Japan and the Japanese had attacked before a formal declaration of war made the view understandable for the time. I loved the cars and dress of the time.

Fascinating movie serial of Batman and Robin serial.Robin looks very young and Batman plays the bored always tired rich playboy to perfection.Look out for J.Carol Naish as the Asian evil doer.Note this was filmed during World War 2 and the film studios knew nothing of political correctness.
