Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars They may be drunks Robin..but they're human beings as well!, April 4 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Batman: The Movie (Widescreen) (DVD)
I bought this for my 3 year old son but it turns out i enjoy it almost as much as he does. Almost.
I remember watching this as a kid and I never realized how corny it was. Untill now. Yikes! I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in years. This film is funnier than than our best comedies. How can one not burst out in tears as batman is savagely attacked by a rubber shark? Check out his face as he grimaces in pain as the foam rubber teeth clamp down. And then theres the morality. Its good to know that even though drinkers may be riff-raff according to Robin, Batman still considers them human beings. And worth saving. Even the 'Human flotsam' near the end of the film is worth saving. And check out the deep blue sea in the submarine scenes. Whats that in the backround? Is the very horizon rippling before my eyes? Is it a rift in time! Or is it a screen painted with clouds and seaguls gently billowing from a stage fan! It just goes on and on. Poor sets, cheesy diologue coupled with cheesy delivery of cheesy diologue, props to make ILM green with envy. This movie makes those Godzilla movies look like big blockbuster bonanzas.
But all that corn wouldnt make a cornfield without Adam West and Burt Ward. How could a casting be so perfect? These two bring a sincerity to the roles. They somehow say ther lines with straight faces and are into their roles. This isnt a joke to them. its business. At the time anyway. The commentary track is amusing as the two laugh their way through the film with the rest of us. truly, this is a rare film that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Harmless fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good camp fun, Nov 24 2008

Neil Olsen (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Batman: The Movie (1966) (DVD)
This is so camp and silly, it is a classic. As naf kitsch from the 60s this is a cult masterpiece. The bomb scene is priceless. The plastic shark, the totally unsophisticated outfits of the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder - the list goes on. Buy it and be amazed at how utter silliness can become its own benchmark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny movie!, July 17 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Batman: The Movie (Widescreen) (DVD)
Okay this movie is very different form the Batman movies that younger audiences may be familiar with but it's still a very good movie altogether. Batman along with his sidekick Robin team up to fight an alliance of criminals The Joker, Catwoman, Two-Face, and Penguin and they must stop them from terrorizing Gotham City. This moive is so incredibly funny! Nothing like the darkness of 1989's "Batman" 1992's "Batman Returns" or even Forever but while it's certianly cheesy, the cheese factor on here is far better than on 1997's horrible "Batman and Robin"! This movie is a must-have but mostly for bat-o-philes.
