Creative Loafing
As a solo viewing experience, this is feeble indeed, but invite some friends over for a BYOB bash and its entertainment value rises substantially.

Even if it is a compromised version of the TV show, it's far, far better than nothing.

Shot in the same campy style that characterized the TV show, all the cast members look like they are having a great time chewing up the scenery.

Unlike other attempts at bringing these characters to life... the TV cast really captures the inherent insanity of the roles

Batman is packed with action, clever sight gags, interesting complications and goes all out on bat with batmania: batplane, batboat, batcycle, etc. etc.

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.
