Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Good delivery, bad follow upThe delivery of this item was top-notch. It got here pronto and in perfect shape, just like the majority of the good reviews about this vendor said it would. I chose to buy this item for my little boy from Electric Fantasies because the business had such good reviews. Unfortunately, when I got it, it was the wrong thing. Let me be clear -- THAT IS ENTIRELY MY FAULT. I was looking for a DVD of Batman, and what I bought, accidentally, was a UMD movie for PSP. It came up in the search I ... Read More Rating: - Never forget your shark repellentBatman: The Movie is a tie-in to the camp classic Batman TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The long running problem with this series is how easy it for people to insult it and say how it tarnished Batman's name. These people obviously did not get the joke, or they have honestly never picked up an actual Batman comic from the 60s (Look up "Bat-Baby" and then tell me this series wasn't tame in comparison to the actual comics back in the day). This movie is the only film on DVD that shows ... Read More Rating: - What a nostalgia flashbackWhile this is pretty much a bare-bones DVD release, for me it is an entertaining "guilty pleasure". When this first was released in the theatres in 1966, I was a 5 year old Batman obsessed kid. I remember my wonderful twin great aunts taking me to the movies to see this cheese-fest. While it's no technical marvel, it is a very fun addition to the 60's TV show era of the Batman legacy. And for just a few dollars, it's well worth re-living the the memories associated with it. Rating: - Excellent BuyerI purchased the item. It was delivered very quickly. I realized I had ordered a PSP instead of a DVD. It was my fault; however, the buyer was very understanding, accepted my return and refunded the amount in full. I am very impressed with this buyer. Rating: - The Best of BatmanThis is the best of any Batman movie, even The Dark Knight. Why? Because its just plain fun. None of that dark, heavy stuff. I don't know who decided that all superheroes need to be dark and brooding (it happened in the eighties) but it does get old after awhile. This version of Batman is just as legit as the current image. And just so eveyone knows, this didn't start the camp craze in the comics. They were already doing that in the late-forties into the early sixties (Batman was fighting aliens for ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
