It's a mix of pure farce and a dramatization of the life and death of the Fox/ABC Batman show. (I will hopefully get a review up of it today or tomorrow, but Other Things are getting in the way!

Adam West was both charming and completely off his rocker. After all the angst of The Dark Knight and this movement to make Batman suddenly dark and growly, the campiness of Adam West was somewhat refreshing. I haven't seen this movie, but now I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up!M.

I've always had this sense that people of my generation and younger erroneously see 60s TV as Andy Griffith and Donna Reed, and so they've never gotten that this version of Batman was silly on purpose, and actually in a very smart way. Also, I have the DVD you're talking about, and I second your recommendation of the Adam West/Burt Ward commentary.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.com
