Batman (Blu-ray)

this video looked and sounded better than when it was originally released in the 1960's

Classic 60's Batman. If you like the show then you'll love the movie.

very good movie

This classic built up so much more than Batman. Movie and TV series before this based on comic characters were treated with very low value and it shows. The 1989 Batman movie may be the most significant superhero movie ever made it showed people what could come from and movie based on comic characters effort is put into making something the film makers would enjoy instead of treated like a paycheck. The classic has aged well for the time it was made.

This movie caps the television series with Adam West and Burt Ward starring as Batman and Robin. When the series started, it was extremely popular, but only in the sense of a fad. It lasted three seasons, airing twice a week the first two seasons and once a week the third. Some of the villains were quite memorable and the dialog was simplistic at best. One of the most interesting features of the series is that while it was essentially a comedy, there was no laugh track. Of course, the visual sound effects filled that role to some extent. As befits a full length movie, all four major adversaries of Batman (Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin, Joker and Riddler) are teamed together in an attempt to rule the world. Their plan is of course very juvenile and there is a lot of laughing done by the Riddler and Joker. The mechanisms whereby Batman and Robin get out of what appears to be certain death are absurd, even for this series. Yet, it is still a fun movie to watch, in some ways more entertaining than all the subsequent Batman movies, especially when young children are involved. There is no way that these villains could possibly be scary.

Amazing gift for those of us who grew up with this series!! Especially those who there at the beginning!! The colors are BEAUTIFUL and only being there at filming would be topping this on screen!!
