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 course) over the ocean. Robin flies the bat-copter while batman climbs down a rope ladder to drop down on their target yacht. But, suddenly the yacht disappears as it was an illusion and a trick! The next thing you know, Batman is dipped into the ocean for a moment. He is lifted up out of the water WITH A SHARK ON HIS LEG! Holy Yikes Batman! The shark is this big rubber fake; that is hilariously fake. Robin sees Batman's predicament and climbs down the ladder to help Batman. Now I don't want to give away the end of the scene. But, let's just say it continues the whole bat-cheese thing beautifully. If you are a person who gets tongue in cheek humor and dry wit, you'll love this movie. If you are looking for a more serious realistic superhero movie, then get one of the modern ones. The cheese factor in the old Batman and Robin TV series (and this movie) was intentional, and it was genius. I love the shark scene every time I watch it.

- Is this worth a double dip?
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.

- Great campy movie
This brings back lots of memories from my childhood and now I am passing it on to my children. They (4 and 2) love this movie despite how corny it is.

- Series already...
Well since the same reviews show up for this and the HOLY special edition BATMAN of which I own 2 studio release copies, I wonder if this new Batman - The Movie (Special Edition) (1966) has anything different or just the studios way of getting more money for the same thing repackaged? Where is the series? Why are people able to transfer poor copies from the Action Network to dvd and sell when the studio has the masters? I know; let the buyer beware, but if fox doesn't get off the pot soon I may have to dig out my old vhs cassettes and transfer them myself, I am sure I could do a better job than what is out there, just need to find the time. back to the review- Does anyone actually have the new dvd? the one I have is 1.85:1 has audio commentary by adam and burt, has a tour of the batmobile, an all new featurette, still gallery, theatrical trailer & teaser, and the second copy I bought when best buy was dumping them for 6 bucks, a steal in my eyes. Anyway I will check back a day or two before they go on sale and if there is any info concerning something I don't already have I may have to buy it, if however it is just a way to get more money for the same ole thing... Now to echo my fellow collectors and batman connoisseurs- RELEASE THE 66-68 SERIES(save me the time)
