Amazon.co.uk Review
On the DVD: Batman: The Movie on disc includes an affectionate commentary from the two stars ("Oh lookee!" says West repeatedly), after which the duo are heavily involved in the wealth of additional material, even recording dialogue for the interactive animated menus. Seeing them on screen in the 16-minute featurette might be a shock, though. In the restored 1.85:1 film print they look much better! Additionally there's a five-minute "Batmobile Revealed" featurette with designer George Barris, a trailer page with some very humorous inclusions and two large galleries of behind-the-scenes photos.--Paul Tonks

Special Edition With Bat Keyring/Light!,
By
This review is from: Batman - The Movie [DVD] (DVD)
This dvd is Region 2 and is the same as the other 1966 Batman-The Movie, Region 2 dvd. It is also the same price but this issue includes a cardboard box and a Batman keyring which will also shine a red light whilst you hold the button down. I had originally hoped that it actually shone the Bat-signal onto a wall but it's not that fancy! Otherwise both Region 2 editions share the same extras ("Holy interactive menus Batman!", "Precisely, Robin!" spoken by the real actors!). There is the commentary by Burt Ward and Adam West, the Batman featurette with the now much older Burt and Adam talking about the general background of the movie (Adam says the movie was to help sell the series overseas), the Batmobile Revealed featurette, theatrical trailer and teaser trailer, and stills from Adam's own collection plus stills from behind the scenes of the movie's production. There are subtitles in thirteen different languages including English but these are only for the movie and don't include the extras I'm sorry to say. It's slightly camp, it's hilarious and, given the parity of pricing, you should buy this edition. Batman and Robin face the combined power of Catwoman, the Joker, the Riddler and the Penguin.

Holy video, Batman! Relive the hilarious sixties series.,
By s.levene@dial.pipex.com (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Batman: The Movie [VHS] [1966] (VHS Tape)
Holy video, Batman! Fans of the sixties series should all own this movie. It encapsulates the programme - ridiculous villains, heroes not much better, set up fights, all acted rather badly but with extreme earnestness. Kids of all ages will love it, whether they are seeing for the first time or reliving their lost youth.

Holy Pure Entertainment, Batman!,
This review is from: Batman - The Movie [1966] [DVD] (DVD)
It's difficult to add to the excellent reviews by Amazon and the other contributors, as they've summed it up so well! The 1989 Batman movie had the Joker - and was very good. The follow up "Batman Returns" had the Penguin and Catwoman, and was pretty good too. The next one "Batman Forever" had the Riddler, but it wasn't up to much. And let's forget about the awful "Batman and Robin" one! This 1966 movie, however, has all these characters and has more entertainment value than all the more recent offerings put together. Kids will love this movie, as will adults with an ironic sense of humour. There are so many laughs to be had, the characters are larger than life and it is quite evident that the actors are really enjoying it. With a few nods to the camera by Adam West as Batman, what we have here is the movie equivalent of a stage pantomime. For me, the one scene that stands out is about an hour into the movie where Batman tries to dispose of a bomb. It's got to be one of the funniest scenes in cinematic history! But there are some wonderful throwaway gags that explain how Batman miraculously gets out of a sticky situation. If you have a DVD player, this is a must-have DVD. There is a worthwhile commentary by Adam West and Burt Ward (Batman and Robin), stills galleries (some of the photos of the Riddler with a "circular saw - conveyabelt torture trap" appear to be from the TV series) and an interesting documentary. The presentation throughout is superb too. Absolutely flawless. My only wish now is for the 120 episodes of the 1966-68 TV series to be released too! Maybe then we will finally get to see that conveyabelt of the Riddler in action!
