In... This full-length Batman movie was unleashed during the height of the television show's popularity in 1966, taking America to dizzying levels of superhero camp it had never before experienced. In stark contrast with the many dark and gritty incarnations of Batman, the film features all four of the famous crime fighter's most dastardly and cunning adversaries--the Penguin, the Joker, the Riddler, and Catwoman--joining forces to take over the world thanks to a De-Hydrator that turns people into piles of dust. The Caped Crusader and his trusty sidekick Robin pull out all the stops to thwart the bad guys, even if it means a BIFF! or a KA-POW! Before Keaton, before Bale, Adam West was...Batman. [More]

Reviews for Batman: The Movie
...can we at least all agree that 'Da na na na na na na na...BAT MAN!' is one of the greatest superhero themes ever?
The delirious idiosyncracies of the '60s Batman are all on display...a pleasant-enough romp that's just a little too-distracted with its new toys. [Blu-Ray]
It's goofy, cornball charm sure wears a lot better than the last two "serious" Batman flicks.
Why do they always try to revamp Batman when they got it so right almost 40 years ago?
