Batman: The Movie

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

I love all the batman movies from 2 Barton to Joel Schumacher to Christopher Nolan et cetera but this is definitely my #1 favorite in the series. Adam west was the original batman probably be my favorite. This is epic its just like the tv series. Burt Ward is excellent as the loveable sidekick. if your Batman fan. youll love this

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!

My 3 yr old son loves this movie. He says he wants to watch the real Batman and wont tolerate the cartoons, lol. They just recently removed it from Netflix, so I purchased it for him here. Some of the dialogue makes your eyes roll waaay back, but it was meant to be based on the comics and the humor at the time doesnt pass to well now, but its still watchable. I didnt have the heart to tell him that Adam West isnt around anymore, Im just gonna let him idolize him for now. Great movie, great guy.

Awesome movie, got here on time

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 .

Wow, such memories were elicited. I just love Adam West and Burt Ward authenticity for these roles and then to get the special treat of have Ceasar Romero, Burgess Meridith, and Frank Gorshin. I would have loved to see Julie Newmar instead of Lee Meriweather. I would have liked to see Eartha Kitt as Cat Women because I think she was Puuuurrrrrrrrrfect in the role. It made me want more. I forgot about the famous Bruce Lee as Kato in the series. I laughed so hard right from the start with the get the Bat ladder then it is dropped down from the Bat helicopter and actually says Bat Ladder at the end of ladder and shark attack with the rubber shark attached to Batmans leg on the Bat Ladder while Robin gets the Bat Shark repellent. Man this was a fun movie to watch, it will definitely be one that I pull out from now on when I need a laugh. This is how Batman was meant to be not dark and scary with a lot of violent shooting and blowing things up.

4 stars for the fun! If you are a Batman fan and you grew watching the show starred by Adam West and Burt Ward, this special edition is definitely a keeper. The series were a hit on its days and have become a cult classic for fans. In the old days in which Batman wore tights and was accompanied by Robin everywhere, the humor was not voluntarily at all. The movie opens with a hilarious sequence in which Batman fights a suicidal shark filled with bombs, how does he escape the trap? With his anti-shark bat spray of course! What makes this movie a fun thing to watch is all the camp humor in it, the detective labor of Batman and Robin is reduced to nothing but funny, wait until you see how they resolve the riddle on who was behind the attack at the beginning of the film. The united underworld puts together our favorite villains form the series: the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin and Catwoman. There are memorable sequences in this film such as the described opening sequence or Batman trying to get rid of a bomb. This movie may not be a great film compared to recent Batman flicks, but it is definitely fun to watch and to see how naive was the humor in the decade they made it and the concept of Batman that this series created; no wonder why Joel Schumacher tried to pay a tribute with his two attempts on Batman (`Batman Forever and `Batman & Robin) Adam West also made a career thanks to this show and the film, he had presentations everywhere as the caped crusader; unfortunately people never stopped seeing him as the Batman. Besides of a very decent digital transfer of both image and sound (Sound is presented in both Stereo and Mono), the bat features are a good complement to this special edition, there is a comprehensive audio commentary by Adam West and Burt Ward that opposite to what you may expect, gives you a lot of details, production notes and facts about the making of the movie. There is also a Batman featurette, 2 still galleries, the trailer and a documentary on the creation of the famous Batmobile from the show. The menus are colorful and very well designed according to the movie. The only flaw this special edition has are the subtitles, they do not match at all what is being said on screen, sentences were shortened by an unknown reason, and some of the jokes and funny dialogues will pass unnoticed if you are reading the subtitles. If you were a fan of the show as a kid, youll love this special edition; if you have never seen this film or the show, be prepared for the best camp humor ever seen. Not a great movie maybe but lots of fun and good memories.

Rewatched this movie with my sons after they watched the newest Batman. I forgot how much fun these shows were

Maybe Ive been spoiled by the outstanding visual quality of the Blu-ray release of the television series, but to my eyes, the DVD version of this movie had better color saturation and the Blu-ray only very, very slightly improves on the overall picture sharpness and quality. Also, while the new bonus features are fun and are a nice addition, I do wonder why the From The Files Of Adam West photo gallery included on the 2001 DVD release was left off of the Blu-ray version. Surely there was enough room on the disc for its inclusion? While this isnt the only Blu-ray release of a movie that has dropped bonus features found on their older DVD versions, when everything else from the DVD has been ported over its a mystery why this one thing wasnt. Its kind of annoying to have to hold on to your old DVD for just one gallery of photos.
