Batman: The Movie

I want to start out by saying I am an adult female fan. I have loved Batman as long as I can remember. I bought the Blu Ray when Amazon had it on sale for $8.99 While waiting on it to arrive I watched some clips on YouTube. Every clip I saw I was laughing. The last time I watched this movie I was a kid. My mom bought me the VHS when I was a kid. As a kid it wasnt corny. The trailer had me laughing the entire time. Poor Burt Ward had the corniest lines in the trailer. Spoiler Even the date Bruce & Catwoman went on was so corny it was funny. Bruce was a bit dramatic sounding on the date. End of Spoiler I do wish Julie Newmar had been Catwoman. Lee Meriwether did a great job but shes no Julie Newmar. I think the movie is way more corny than the tv show. While I think Adam West is a great Batman he is no Michael Keaton. Ever since I was kid my favorite Batman actor is Michael Keaton. He will always be my favorite Batman. I could not believe it when I read in a magazine that had a section dedicated to Batman that Bob Kanes favorite Batman is Val Kilmer. I honestly dont see how he thinks Val Kilmer is the best Batman. My two favorite Batman actors are Michael Keaton & Adam West. I like Christian Bale much better than Val Kilmer & George Clooney. I was sad to read in that magazine that Michael was offered the Batman role in Batman Forever and he turned it down. I can understand him being sick of playing Batman since he played Batman twice. I still wish he had played the role for his fans. Batman The Movie in my opinion is still a great movie despite the corny lines. Considering it was made in the late 60s the technology and special effects were good. My first two favorite movies are the two Michael Keaton movies then this one. I ended up buying the Blu Ray since for some reason the regular DVD is no longer available. The regular DVD is $15+ on eBay and they are used. I found it was for once cheaper to buy the Blu Ray version. Amazon very briefly had it at $8.99 and I just couldnt pass up that great price.

A little long, but full of the kind of fun that the Batman series started. It has some overly funny sequences, such as the fake shark that clamps onto Batmans leg and will not let go; and the bomb chase that has Batman running while carrying a smoking bomb along a pier, trying desperately to dispose if it, but being thwarted over and over by civilians who keep getting in the way to prevent it. The movie also features four of Batmans arch enemies.

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!

Awesome movie, got here on time

Excellent adaptation of the awesome tv show to the Big Screen! Nice to go back in time to this classic movie and tv series when Superhero films were not as dark as today, but full of humour, puns, big words and a sense of humor/camp. Adam West, Burt Ward and Company are perfect, or shall I say purrr-fect in their roles. Upon my umpteenth viewing, I really appreciate how the film takes some breathing room to develop more of Bruce Waynes romantic side. Too bad hes/Batman is being foiled and fooled again by Catwoman. The colors, the camera angles, the sets are amazing, not to mention expanding the television series in its use of not just the Batmobile, but the bat-copter and bat-boat. The pace moves well and the ending is far more interestingly absurd than one might imagine even by the shows standards.

I always liked the Batman TV show and I think it was a very smart move to make this movie with the 4 most known villains. Each one had nice parts. Ive always liked the Riddlers laugh and the Jokers as well. I sure wished that Julie Newmar had been in the role of Catwoman. Theres no other Catwoman like Julie Newmar. All in all the movie has its laughs and great moments. This movie is a must have for all Batman fans of the 60s.

Well since the same reviews show up for this and the HOLY special edition BATMAN of which I own 2 studio release copies, I wonder if this new Batman - The Movie (Special Edition) (1966) has anything different or just the studios way of getting more money for the same thing repackaged? Where is the series? Why are people able to transfer poor copies from the Action Network to dvd and sell when the studio has the masters? I know; let the buyer beware, but if fox doesnt get off the pot soon I may have to dig out my old vhs cassettes and transfer them myself, I am sure I could do a better job than what is out there, just need to find the time. back to the review- Does anyone actually have the new dvd? the one I have is 1.85:1 has audio commentary by adam and burt, has a tour of the batmobile, an all new featurette, still gallery, theatrical trailer & teaser, and the second copy I bought when best buy was dumping them for 6 bucks, a steal in my eyes. Anyway I will check back a day or two before they go on sale and if there is any info concerning something I dont already have I may have to buy it, if however it is just a way to get more money for the same ole thing... Now to echo my fellow collectors and batman connoisseurs- RELEASE THE 66-68 SERIES(save me the time)
