And this movie gave us this infamous scene:

Where's the shark repellent spray?


What a time to be alive.

I love the film for what it does. It successfully crams four villains in a movie and yet it does not fill overcrowded. That is something a few films decades later failed at. A few iconic moments such as the shark repellent scene and the "some days you just cant get ride of a bomb!" line.

I love Adam West batman. Never saw the movie. I love camp, so I'll be sure to give it a watch sometime.

One of my big memories growing up is watching reruns of the Adam West Batman series with my dad as well as seeing the movie a few times. Dad grew up with this series and still maintains West is the best Batman, can't deny the impact West has had in the role as the third live action Batman (to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong though).

It may be cheesy and dated by today's standards with some not enjoying it, but I get a laugh and smile out of it to this day. Besides, Batman disarming a bomb but refusing to blow up ducks? :lol: Dated overall, but still harmless entertainment.

There are just some days where you just can't get rid of a bomb... I mean, yeah! I liked this movie. It's hilarious.

It sure hasn't aged well...

I have it on blu ray. It's campy good fun.

:-?

It's aged fine. It was never meant to be taken seriously. It's meant to be fun.

My favorite part is when they're saved by the noble porpoise... :lol:

Unrelated, but a local theater is showing Mask of the Phantasm next weekend for $5 and I couldn't be more excited.

Lucky! I assume it'll be 35mm?

I can't believe all WB has provided for that film in terms of home video is the DVD. I think it might even be full-screen. I really hope Warner Archive does a Blu-ray release of that... I think it might be the best Batman film.

Man do I love Lee Meriwether

Man, if I was around in the 60's I'd probably be obsessing over her instead of Melissa Benoist.

Isn't it great though that each group of young males in each decade have so many hot actress' and/or singers to watch every decade? Man those young kids in the 60's...they had it good.

Indeed....

I ran into the movie when Svengoolie had it on. Manage to see the end part on the submarine where the villains were knocked overboard.

I always hear people complain about full screen and I don't know why. I lime to fill my screen and not have those ugly black bars at the top and bottom.

What's wrong with it?

It's aged better than most Marvel movies

It's called aspect ratio, and it helps give the viewer a sense of what's important on the screen. Each film's aspect ratio is a stylistic choice.

Fullscreen, despite its name, does NOT take up the "full screen" if displayed on a widescreen television. Instead of black bars on the top and bottom, they're on the sides.

IMHO this movie was a perfect distillation of everything that was good about the first season of the show.

awesome movie, easily one of my fave Batman movies of all time

If nothing else you're consistent.

Can't help the way I feel, regardless if all the Ralph Wiggums of this world object to it.
