- 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. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. Next time Ill be reviewing Batman the animated series season 1. POW! WHAP! GONE!

- 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. It won't stand up to the latest films in PQ, but for what it is, I was surprised and satisfied.

I think the original movie's soundtrack was mono and they have done a good job of making improvements to it, but it's difficult at best to make a real surround track from a mono source. It's an improvement over mono, but it's not on par with picture quality.

They've done a great job "modernizing" this film for blu ray. The bonus features are great and there is an interactive "tour" of the Batmobile that's slick.

Because I grew up with Adam West as Batman, he'll always be Batman to me. If you remember the movie and series fondly from your youth, then you should add this title to your blu ray collection.

- 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 this today.

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.
