Batman: The Movie (1966)

In this age of angsty portrayals of the flying rodent, it is a refreshing breath of fresh air to return to the campiness and silliness of the Adam West era. Hey! The Joker doesn't kill people, he just makes bad jokes.

I'd think there was something in me to have liked "Batman Forever" which has some throwbacks to this oft-forgotten era. It's colourful, it's vivid, it's some overweight guy in a cotton Bat-suit.

The best bit here is where Adam tries to get rid of a bomb, in a river of cute ducks, boating lovers, and a pier of musicians, nuns and ladies with babies. Hilarious!

I loved this and so should any of you.
