Batman (1966)


It might be time for this camp, shiny stocking-ed Batman to make a comeback because after the deadly earnest of the Christopher Nolan trilogy, this movielength episode of the Adam West series of the 60s is a hoot - a largely plotless but good-time romp featuring hilarious lollybag costumes, deadpan delivery of some overwrought dialogue, and a pantomime finale in which all the characters (Batman, Robin, The Penguin, The Riddler, The Joker, Catwoman and some henchmen) appear in a prolonged unchoreographed and daggy-beyond-belief fist fight aboard a submarine.

★★☆☆☆
