Tongue-in-cheek humor prevails in Batman, a witty homage to the Dynamic Duo's exaggerated exploits. The Caped Crusaders (Adam West and Burt Ward) are called in as a last resort when the criminal masterminds of the millennium team up to conquer Gotham City by turning the U.N. Security Council into dehydrated dust; among the villains are the Joker (Cesar Romero), Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), and the Penguin (Burgess Meredith). The entire cast is excellent, particularly West and Ward, who distinguish themselves among a standout list with hilariously straight-faced performances. The film includes some truly memorable scenes, highlighted by a particularly tenacious shark with a vertical leap that would put Spud Webb to shame and a bomb on the waterfront with no place to explode (nuns, infants and lovebirds beware!).

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida A Humorless Campy Adventure.
Adam West and Burt Ward bring their roles of the Dynamic Duo from their campy TV series, based on the characters created by Bob Kane, on to the silver screen. This heroic crimefighting team battle their four archenemies, the Joker (Cesar Romero), the Penguin (Burgess Meredith), the Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), and the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), who intend to hold the world up for ransom by dehydrating the United Nations' Security Council. This film's campy tongue-in-cheek humor is somewhat idiotic and annoying at times, which is why the TV series itself only lasted for two years. Also starring Alan Napier, Neil Hamilton, Stafford Repp, Reginald Denny, and Madge Blake.
