Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Penguin's submarine's interiors are the "Seaview" sets from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964) redressed.
- Goofs(at about 1:00:00 into the film) When Batman and Robin are climbing up the wall, you can see the strings used to hold their capes up, as the scene is clearly a rotated scene of the duo walking horizontally. Although this has been widely regarded as a mistake, the film's special edition DVD commentary with Adam West and Burt Ward explains that it was done purposely to have some fun for the adult audience.
- Crazy credits(opening disclaimer) ACKNOWLEDGMENT We wish to express our gratitude to the enemies of crime and crusaders against crime throughout the world for their inspirational example. To them, and to lovers of adventure, lovers of pure escapism, lovers of unadulterated entertainment, lovers of the ridiculous and the bizarre--- To funlovers everywhere--- This picture is respectfully dedicated. If we have overlooked any sizable groups of lovers, we apologize. ---THE PRODUCERS
- Alternate versionsDepending on the condition and color saturation of the print of the film, the Joker's hair can appear orange rather than green. This was evident on the VHS releases of the film. The same thing would sometimes happen in the TV series (particularly during fades to black), but the mistake was more evident and consistent in the film. The Blu ray release's color saturation corrects this and the Joker's hair appears green, as it should be.
- ConnectionsEdited into Batman: Walk the Straight and Narrow (1966)
Featured review
POW! BIFF! THWACK!
Tim Burton's BATMAN is for people who take comic books seriously. The Adam West BATMAN TV series and movie is for the rest of us.
Batman is the role West was born to play. He delivers his lines with a seriousness and self-importance perhaps matched only by Steven Seagal--and Seagal isn't trying to be funny.
I can understand how comic-book fans might dislike this movie. It does, after all, treat the whole Batman concept with jokey disrespect (though really, as another reviewer pointed out, it's an over-the-top parody of the old serials). However, for those of us who see the inherent silliness in the notion of a "millionaire playboy" dressing up in a bat suit to fight "supervillains," it's fun to watch a movie that sees it as well.
Perhaps the most amusing aspect of this movie is its off-the-wall view of the United Nations; the particular ambassadors are treated as something more than bureaucrats, apparatchiks, and political cronies who could be replaced in five minutes with any of ten thousand equally capable (or incapable) people.
7/10.
