POW!

Rushed into production to cash in on the popularity of the TV series (and not actually made up of series episodes as often reported), this quickie theatrical spinoff of all that mid-'60s small screen Bat-mania is modest fun but never really cuts loose. Full of gimmicks and silly bits of deadpan comedy, this made a ton of money at kiddie matinees and is still probably best enjoyed by those who first saw it under those circumstances.

Great when stoned.

That shark repellent scene is classic.

One of the funniest movies ever made.

A lot of really hilarious lines, but overall the kitsch feel kind of wears off.

A rare instance of DELIBERATE camp that works. While not as great as the best of the show, it holds its own. Although Newmar's haughty slinkiness is missed, Meriwether fills out the curves of her fetishwear quite nicely. The rest of the tv cast continue 2 play everything straight& the dialogue is always funnier 4 it. The stand-out however remains a fantastic Gorshin, as a livewire unable 2 contain a maniacal glee not seen since Colin Clive's "It's alive! ALIVE!" bit in the original Frankenstein

Score based purely on nostalgic fondness and has little to do with inherent merits of the film.

Shows its age--and it didn't look that good to begin with.

If we're going to bash movies let's start here.

It's always so hard for me to rate campy films such as this. I would be lying if I said this film is not enjoyable, but I would also be lying if I said that it is a good film. It is one of those many films that is just bad enough to be good (at the risk of being hated by every self respecting Batman fan, I also must admit that the kitschy horrid-ness of Schumacher's Batman and Robin falls in the same category of bad-goodness.)

Hilarious! Intentionally or not, this is one of the funniest movies of all times. From Joker's powdered up mustache, the classical bomb-scene up to the laugh out loud ending, this has quality camp written all over it. Grab some friends and a few beer, and off you go!

Holy motion pictures, Batman! This is a hilarious film, it's got all the best villains, and everything.

I used to watch this movie on VHS in German oooover and oooover again as a child. i was obsessed with it. This is the movie that made me a fan of Batman. Even though it's actually a really silly movie. But that makes it just more entertaining to watch. *POW*

Classic.

"Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb."

This single film produced more classic moments than its series: the bomb, the shark, and "Confound it! The batteries are dead!" to name but a few. This film is one in a million, and few comedies have held up so well for so long.

Some sort of strange comedy.

I <3 you, Adam West....before Family Guy even came out! ::raspberry::

Shark-repellent bat-spray XD
