     Batman
1966  NR  ACTION  1h 44min
CAST— Adam West, Burt Ward, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Frank Gorshin, Lee Meriwether, Neil Hamilton, Madge Blake, Reginald Denny
MUSIC— Nelson Riddle  DIRECTOR— Leslie Martinson  BASED ON— Characters appearing in DC Comics

     Holy cheese, Batman! Everyone seems to remember the 1960s TV adventures of Batman and Robin as an exercise in camp, slightly tongue-in-cheek adventures that quashed the baddies with a BIFF and a BANG. But in actuality the show was as dumb as a box of diapers. They made a theatrical movie in 1966. It was stupid too. In the film Batman and Robin must stop a frightmare combo of villains: the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and Catwoman. They’ve developed a new weapon that dehydrates humans, turning them into dust. They plan on dehydrating high profile world leaders, thereby turning the tables and taking over the world themselves. Not if our heroes can stop them. Lots of lameness awaits those bored enough to take a gander at this goofy mess of guano. AKA Batman: The Movie.
OUR RATING— * ½
