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!).
