TV & Movie Reviews: Batman the Movie (1966)

Dave and Chris are back reviewing Batman the movie (1966) starring Adam West and Burt Ward. A true iconic movie but does it hold up 53 yrs later? If it doesn’t they guys have a proper laugh at Adam West and the lack of any care for the audience’s intelligence in respect of adding plot devices to move the film along that are so absurd its brilliant.

Plot Summary:

The arch-villains of the United Underworld - the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and the Catwoman - combine forces to dispose of Batman and Robin as they launch their fantastic plot to control the entire world. From his submarine, Penguin and his cohorts hijack a yacht containing a dehydrator, which can extract all moisture from humans and reduce them to particles of dust. The evildoers turn the nine Security Council members in the United World Building into nine vials of multicolored crystals! Batman and Robin track the villains in their Batboat and use Batcharge missiles to force the submarine to surface.
