Mike P I love this! It's a cartoon resurrection of the campy 60s Biff!Bam!Pow! Classic William Dozier/Adam West and Burt Ward Batman Show; the one we all love! So much fun to see West and Ward donning their magic multicolored capes again; (or their likenesses anyway); using lines like "Not so fast old chum!" And "Holy Heartbreaks Batman!" This is exactly the dose of goofy 60s Silver Age-DC zaniness we all need right now! It completely goes against the grain and I love it! The plot basically repeats the plot of the 1966 Batman pilot movie; where The Dynamic Duo go up against their entire rogue gallery all at once. And joyfully Julie Newman comes back as Catwoman for this! The plot, the scripting, the performances are all a breath of fresh air. And admittedly, the animation is sometimes low rent Adult Swim stuff: but in this kind of Star-Studded milieu it makes no difference! I highly recommend this! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Logan D Gotham is threatened by a gaggle of gangsters, Batman and Robin (Adam West; Burt Ward) launch into action. A delightful return to a fun show of my youth and featuring the best Catwoman, Julie Newmar. It's too bad they didn't draw the Joker with a painted mustache. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Chris M This captures the camp and fun of the silver age of Batman comics and the 1966 TV show did. Those who want their Batman dark, gritty and Nolanized is in for a groovy disappointment. There is a lot of Bat Easter Eggs from the comic books as well as other Bat-Movies. It was good to hear Adam West and Julie Newmar again. It is a campy near perfect Bat-Fun. Plus the actors that are playing the late actors from the shows are doing great imitations. Overall, a must for 60s Batfans. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Jeffrey M Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was an amazing movie. I watched it kind of a long time ago, so it is not fresh in my mind. Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was a very interesting movie. What a good movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review CKB Being ancient enough to have watched the original Batman series in the 1960s, I checked this out from nostalgia. The live-action show was a takeoff on comic book superheroes, so to make it into an animated cartoon loses its basic joke. That said, it was a pleasure to hear Adam West (a bit shaky), Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar reprising their original roles from 50 yrs before (!) so nicely (and to hear Penguin once again give that snarky laugh that Burgess Meredith created). The writers capture a good amount of the original's campiness, though it's hard to recreate that special excitement people felt in the 60s from messing with convention and tweaking social mores. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review spencer p Perfectly recreating the groovy '60s campiness and self-referential humor of Adam West's heyday (and even calling forward to some Batmen to come), this surprise sequel for his version of Batman makes the most sense for a direct-to-video gem.
