Batman: The Movie

I have now seen this movie maybe fifty times and still counting. My four-year-old son is ADDICTED to Batman, the Batcopter, the Batcycle, the Penguins sub, etc. With the bigger-than-TV movie budget that allowed for these toys plus the presence of four bat villains, this is a must for fans of the BATMAN TV series. Adults will also appreciate -- perhaps after repeated viewings -- director Les Martinsons adept staging in long, well-timed comic takes among the villains. The bad guys are expert actors all, with relative novice Lee Meriweather (subbing for Julie Newmar, who was shooting McKENNAS GOLD during the hiatus) acquitting herself admirably as a comedic villain. And does she look an ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT as both Catwoman and as Russian Cold War hottie, Miss Kitka. Adam West certainly owns this incarnation of Batman, and wait til you hear how Burt Ward got the part of Robin! Kudos also to Nelson Riddles jazz score, which I finally felt compelled to seek out (and found!) as a CD. Of course, we listen to this in the car all the time, and I have yet to get bored with the paradoxical variety of tonal colors despite the narrow instrumentation for jazz band. The script by Lorenzo Semple Jr. who wrote all? most? much? of the first season is slyly funny and supports both goofiness and a coherent narrative. Basically, its fun, nostalgic, and a great take on -- and execution of -- the material. The commentaries from Adam West and Burt Ward are a little spare on info, but still welcome, as is the extra feature about the Batmobile. In all, a near PURRRR-fect DVD, and a cheap guilty pleasure at a relatively low price.

description said language has spanish track too... and the movie didnt have it... delivery time, awesome... so its a 75% good , has room to improve on details on products...but nice price... I can try again with this guys...

I gave this to an 8 year old who loved it.

The film adaptation of the popular ABC TV series from 1966-68 has it all, action, adventure, romance, danger and comedy. Adam West and Burt Ward were excellent in the roles of Batman and Robin. Lee Meriwether(who replaces Julie Newmar due to a prior commitment)was at her sexiest as the Catwoman, and Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meridith and Cesar Romero were hilariously enjoyable as the villains. The special features contains a featurette with Adam and Burt talking about the behind the scenes stories, also there is a tour of the Batmobile with its creator, George Barris. This movie is a treat for kids as well as adults, it may not be the TV series we hope for, but it is close enough!

I love all the batman movies from 2 Barton to Joel Schumacher to Christopher Nolan et cetera but this is definitely my #1 favorite in the series. Adam west was the original batman probably be my favorite. This is epic its just like the tv series. Burt Ward is excellent as the loveable sidekick. if your Batman fan. youll love this

As a child I would watch Batman with Adam West and I could not wait to get home to sit in front of the TV to see it. Just the sounds and even the sounds of the words they put up were even more aluring.POW, BANG! Ahh,the memories,I have a grandson who now, loves the Batman that is for this generation and I must say, Batman has come along way but is still here.One of the best Batmans I know is in this movie,you go Batman, your reign is not over. Watch this movie and the memories of your childhood will come flowing back in no time!

The one and only Adam West as Batman. It’s Batman & Robin vs the Four Supervillains (The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and The Catwoman). Batman: The Movie was produced by William Dozier and directed by Leslie H. Martison for 20th Century Fox Studio also have behind the scenes features. Batmania in 1966 caught the world by storm and it was a phenomenal success.

While 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 its no technical marvel, it is a very fun addition to the 60s TV show era of the Batman legacy. And for just a few dollars, its well worth re-living the the memories associated with it.

I am a big Batman Fan, and when I saw this on dvd , I had to have it. Even though many think that the 1960s Batman was campy & corny, it is still fun to watch, and you can polk some fun at the fact that the Caped crusaders always had the right item on their belts to escape all types of trouble. Im not sure if the blue ray makes a big difference in the quality, however I have no complaints. I actually give it 4and 1/2 stars.

Rewatched this movie with my sons after they watched the newest Batman. I forgot how much fun these shows were
