- Is That The Batmobile?
I liked this serial but it's not as good as Captain Marvel or The Phantom which are both five star. This is a bit dated. The action/fight scenes are sometimes ridiculous and the costumes could definitely do with some work. Enjoyable fun though if you're a nostalgia freak like me, but you will probably be disappointed if you expect too much.

- A great Batman actor. even better than Adam West?
This is the second Batman serial and it is a tad better than The Batman. This one had me guessing all the way through. A great serial. AMC aired this and all I did was watch this serial. Great fighting sequences. I wish this was in yahoo.com's database. I can't find it there. Its here and you should buy it.

- You could'nt make it up.
Just finished playing this DVD and it lived up to its expectations. Typical classic moments include Batman's cowl (Face Mask) being to large for Batman's (Robert Lowery) face, with the result that it slips down past his eyes and he regularly compensates by having to raise his face to the sky to see underneath the eyeholes. An absolute classic moment!!!
As well as this when the Dynamic Duo go one to one with the bad guys in a fight they more often than not get duffed up.
The Batcave consists of a filing cabinet to store their costumes (where else) and a microscope to play the part of a laboratory.
I could go on and on but buy or rent this DVD as it merits a wider audience to appreciate it "hamminess" and appeal to a more innocent time. Loved it.

In the days before the batmobile, when Wayne Manor was a large suburban neighborhood home...Can it get better than that?
