Batman: The Movie (1966)

Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward)

20101106:
Oh man, I grew up watching these guys and watching this movie now brings back many fond memories. However, as far as I remember, I don't recall ever watching this movie before.

One part I found funny is when Batman disconnected the sidecar from the motorcycle just so Robin could enter the helicopter from the opposite side. It was hilariously unnecessary.

The Penguin (Burgess Meredith), The Joker (Cesar Romero), and The Riddler (Frank Gorshin).

Finally, I loved the raw fist fights. Such fights are definitely more how I think Batman, as opposed to a heavy dependence on technology. On the other hand, I don't think of any of the ridiculousness that goes on, but it's enjoyable to watch, so I have no real complaint.

In short, this movie is campy and I found myself enjoying it. If you like campy movies, then perhaps you'll enjoy it too.

1: I was waiting the whole movie for the "Pow" and "Whack" words to appear. Indeed the final fight scene used them. Yay! Were these words always reserved for the final fight scene of each episode? I don't remember.

One of the campiest moments in the film: Batman runs around trying to dispose of a bomb but it seems clear space is already occupied.
