Batman: The Movie

I grew up on Adam wests Batman and still love him best❣️This movie is amazing and cheesier than a bowl of Mac n cheese! I personally love the camp factor of the 60s Batman and feel privileged to have met Adam west at a book signing. If you dont have time for the series, this movie will give you a hefty helping of it.

This version of Batman made in the mid-1960 was corny and campy, with bad acting. But I love the costumes, and all the bat gadgets, and the super villains who went toe to toe with Batman and Robin. The super villains are great campy characters, and good entertainment for some mindless fun. And Robin played by Burt Ward is so gosh darn golly good; he is the biggest cornball you will ever meet. It is hilarious. And of course Adam West who plays Batman takes himself way too seriously. Amazon Instant Video does not sell or rent the TV show version of this incarnation of Batman, but maybe they should. After all nostalgia sells well.........................

Yes, its silly but youre probably not going to watch it unless you are a fan of the TV series as well. I bought this on DVD several years ago as a fix until the series became available. Its still too expensive for me to buy the whole show on either blu ray or DVD but the movie has all the same characters and bat-gadgets crammed into one goofy package. The quality of the streaming was really good and we dont have the best quality wifi signal in our house. Recommended as a diversion to chores or on a rainy day.

Great old school tongue in cheek comedy Batman. Not some three hour life inspire ing story of a poor down t rotten boy who rises up and....... IDK. NOR DO I CARE BS story....

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.

I cant say anything bad about this 60s version of Batman! It was good for what it was meant to be and thats a light-hearted take on this character. While I have not seen the DVD version, I have seen this film on TV many times! Adam West is great as his version has influenced other versions of Batman including the darker versions with his stiff seriousness (though todays Batman isnt as funny). Burt Ward is the trusty sidekick and suitable for that era as Robin. That version, however, wouldnt work today as the relationship between Batman and Robin (which is often conflicted as it is cooperative) is actually more believable. As for the villians, they are the best of the best. With three actors that are no longer with us in the form of Ceasar Romero (The Joker), Frank Gorshin (The Riddler/who couldve easily played Jack Nicholsons Joker if he had been young in 1989) and Burgess Meridith (more popularly known as Mickey in the Rocky boxing films)! Lee Meridewith was okay as Catwoman but Julie Newmar and, later, Eartha Kitt were DEFINITELY better! One thing thats a personal note that Id like to get off my chest and thats the misconception that Adam West was the original Batman! WRONG! And even West himself will tell you that the character had been around since the late 30s and was NOTHING like the West version. In fact, the early Batman was more like the one we see now than the campier version. The one that West portrays came about due to the comics code that was implemented in the 50s to keep the U.S. Government from censoring them! Still, back to the movie, it is a fun trip down the 60s and I am sure the bonus track will be very enlightening to hear from Adam West and Burt Ward. On a final note, I will give this version of Batman credit for one thing. If not for the popularity of this version, the Batman that we know now may have never had the chance to be seen! In fact, even the creators the excellent Batman: The Animated Series admitted to being big fans of this version of Bats and even had Adam West as a guest star in the episode entitled Beware Of The Grey Ghost. I should also note that eppy is available on Vol. 1 of Batman: The Animated Series. They also patterned a lot of the humor in that series from this version of Batman (only not as campy). So, to Mr. West and to Mr. Ward, I say this to you. THANK YOU FOR THIS VERSION AND WHILE MANY DARK KNIGHT FANS FROWN AT THIS VERSION, THIS IS ONE DARK KNIGHT FAN THAT APPLAUDS AND APPRECIATES IT! ;)

This is a classic movie with the actors and characters from the Batman series. I highly recommend it.

Today’s movies today’s toys have changed dramatically from when I was a kid . Friends from school nieborhood friends would play with push toys planes that didn’t fly trains that we hand pushed around the track growing up in late 60s with threat of war . We used imagination with toys and played out in our minds the different things happening that day with our toys sometimes crash and burn others saving people . All though I do enjoy modern toys it’s good to remember classics like Batman and robin good against evil . We always knew that good would win evil would always loose . As kids every boy wanted to be Batman robin Superman . My baby brother would put a red blanket and pretend to fly . Now That’s imagination . Sadly it’s lost in kids you show them a toy they ask what does it do . I was able to In still imagination in my two kids to dream anything is possible .

Love this movie, all the campiness, laughs, just pure fun to watch, brings back great childhood memories.

My young teen boys get a kick out of these. One of the best values around if you’re into the classic Batman tv series. Lots of episodes! Good quality picture. Fun blast from the past.
