		Batman (Adam West) is relentlessly square-jawed and upright, even in his real-life guise as millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne; Robin (Burt Ward) is as earnest and eager as any gee-whiz sidekick could be.
		The film opens with a call to action, with producer William Dozier's familiar voice gravely intoning that Batman and Robin are needed to rescue an inventor who has been threatened with kidnap.
		The "featurette" reveals that the film was originally designed as a possible pilot for the show, and then shelved until after the first season had been aired to widespread acclaim and popularity, guaranteeing a strong audience for the film.

		Continuity: In the scene where Batman discovers a bomb he is driving towards the villain's hide out and you can see all the parking spaces are full except one, yet when he parks there are no cars either side of him.
		Continuity: When Robin is saving Batman from the shark, and he is hanging upside down to spray the shark repellent, his position in relation to Batman changes between shots (almost too far to reach, then he is suddenly close).
		Other: In the scene where Batman is climbing the ladder and the shark has his leg, Batman works very hard at trying to place his radio back on his utility belt only to have it fall off.

	BATMAN ON FILM -- "A History of The Batman" (THE 1966 BATMAN MOVIE)
		BATMAN‘s plot is fairly simple: Batman and Robin are out to stop a combination of The Joker (Cesar Romero), The Riddler (Frank Gorshin), Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), and The Penguin (Burgess Meredith) from taking over the world.
		BATMAN, directed by Leslie H. Martinson, was released on July 30, 1966 following the world premiere in Austin, Texas at the Paramount Theater.
		The problem with BATMAN and the TV show is that it became ingrained in people’s minds that that was what Batman was all about.

	DVD Talk Review: Batman: The Movie (1966)
		Originally the film was to be made first, as an effort to sell the TV series, but when the series was green-lighted before the film, the movie was pushed back and was finally completed and released in 1966.
		While I was born quite a bit after the film's original debut, I have many fond memories of catching the movie on TV as a kid, and I was eager to revisit it on DVD.
		Batman: The Movie is presented in a new Dolby 2.0 Stereo track in English and the original Dolby 2.0 Mono track in English and French.

		Tim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson).
		Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker.

		Cast and production wise, the film is first rate, and you'd be hard pushed to fault the film alongside the limitations it sets itself against.
		Featuring music and quotes from the film, and morphing from a comic strip into the live action movie, the menu is perfect in setting the tone for the audience.
		Yes, the Batman franchise was reinvented by Tim Burton and then subsequently ruined by Joel Schumacher, but the sixties version seems in hindsight to be much more timeless in its camp and colourful style.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Batman & Robin
		Batman was one of the handful of superheroes to endure beyond the early 1950s.
		The series proved so popular that, through some tragic oversight, Adam West and Burt Ward were permitted to camp it up in the full-length 1966 film "Batman: The Movie." West never again scaled such terpsichorean heights, and the world came to regard Batman as a buffoon in tights.
		Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster "Batman" was strong on atmosphere and weak on story, and the film was stolen by Jack Nicholson's sardonic Joker.

	Batman (1966)
		The film, to me, is both too campy and too self-important at the same time: a fatal mix.
		Visually the film is Schumacherized, but aside from excessive amounts of gaudy light-show, most of it is not too annoying or embarrassing, aside from the appearance of the notorious rubber nipples on the Bat-suit.
		Bale is the best Batman we've had yet, but someone behind the camera is really having him overdo the thing of always speaking in a low whispery husky voice, which is very much in fashion now in Hollywood for how to play a dangerous hero.

		That's why the Batman series were always 2-parters with ridiculous cliff hanger endings, with Batman uttering "If I can only reach my utility belt..." Adam West's performance can only be characterised as sublimely surreal: he really deserves an award.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Batman (1989)
		It took me two viewings to accept Michael Keaton in the role of Batman, not that I had any sort of loyalty to Adam West in the campy sixties television show, but that I had already had a vision in my mind of how Batman should look and act, and Keaton was not it.
		However, there is more to resolve with this film than my quibbles with the lead actor.
		There are some strong scenes to compensate for the poor -- most involving Batman in action -- and the stars and clever camerawork are fun enough to watch.
