Batman: The Movie

Batman: The Movie produced by 20th Century Fox.

Plot: Following the Adam West-style of the 1960's Batman show, the movie offers cheezy lines, gimmicky situations, and uncomfortable costumes. Batman and Robin seek to stop an alliance of the Penguin, the Joker, the Riddler, and (no the) Catwoman. While the dynamic duo attempt to locate the dastardly villains, they find themselves at the mercy of multiple traps, a megalomaniac plot, and an exploding shark.

Genre: Movie, Batman, Humor

Reading Level: Rated PG.

Similar Titles: In the world of serious and pseudo-serious Batman movies, this one stands alone. Fans may want to track down episodes of the television series, though.

Personal Thoughts: A delightfully campy movie. The costumes are ridiculous, the logic is insane, the characters are archetypes, and the script is corny. It still manages to be a fun show, though.
