Campy, colorful fun with the Caped Crusader plus several of his TV villains.

I'd choose Adam West's Batmobile over Michael Keaton's any day.

...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.

It's goofy, cornball charm sure wears a lot better than the last two "serious" Batman flicks.

While the film is far from perfect, it’s meant to be that way.

Dreadful unwatchable movie version of the campy Batman television series popular in the 1960s.
