Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Batman (1966)
This movie is based on the campy TV series of the same name that was made back in the sixties. If you didn't like the TV show, you won't like this one either since it is more of the same.
In the movie, Batman faces the combined forces of his greatest enemies, Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler as they try to kidnap the World Council of the UN.
This movie also premeres the Batboat and Batcopter as well as showing that the Batcave has a working nuclear reactor. (how they got this past the hippie generation, I will never know)
