Kaaapowie! Holy feature film, Batman ... one based on the tongue-in-cheek, campy 1960's television series. Watch Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) battle sharks, Catwoman, The Joker and The Riddler on the big screen. Can they try to prevent the bad guys from taking over the world? With a wham! and a pow! and a zip! ... our heroes just might win.

Critics Consensus

Batman: The Movie elevates camp to an art form -- and has a blast doing it, every gloriously tongue-in-cheek inch of the way.

Batman is packed with action, clever sight gags, interesting complications and goes all out on bat with batmania: batplane, batboat, batcycle, etc. etc. Go to Full Review Time Out 01/26/2006
I'd choose Adam West's Batmobile over Michael Keaton's any day. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 12/03/2022
... fans of the small screen show will enjoy the spoofing tone throughout. Leslie H. Martinson directs Lorenzo Semple’s screenplay like a big budget TV episode minus the cliffhanger endings. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 08/30/2022

As you’d expect, this movie is as dumb as a box of hair, but God, is it fun ­­— a perfect guilty pleasure. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 08/29/2022
6/10
Clearly intended to appeal only to longtime fans of the series, which has done much to make the Dark Knight and his Boy Wonder sidekick cartoonish caricatures rather than earnest crime-fighters. Go to Full Review Cory Woodroof Lumination Network 02/11/2022
While it's hilarious to watch the cheesiness of the film, it's also interesting to see how far Batman has come from the sixties. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David S. Oct 29 Though dated, this film is a good example of great cinema, despite the camp. It's fun, entertaining, and a great introduction to both the Batman and Robin Characters, it's a decent film that represents its TV series well, and it's still good!!! Won't be for everyone, but if you like the character and want to see something different, watch this and enjoy it!!! See more bob t Aug 29 my dad showed me this movie when i was around 8 and i loved it, every time i go back to it i still love it! See more Ben H Aug 10 It’s refreshing to see a Batman movie that does not take itself too seriously. This is a fun and campy romp, highly recommend for any Batman fan See more Kid R. @Philadelphiagoosebumpsfan Jun 25 An old y but a goodie See more Matt O May 22 “Campy charm that’s hard to resist” – 3/5 The 1966 Batman is pure camp and cheesy fun. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all, which can be a breath of fresh air if you’re in the mood for something light and nostalgic. The bright colors, over-the-top villains, and silly one-liners make it a goofy ride that’s easy to enjoy. It’s definitely dated and won’t satisfy anyone looking for a serious superhero flick, but if you’re up for some classic, quirky entertainment, it’s worth a watch. Just don’t expect a deep Batman story here. This is how Batman started though so you have to respect it See more Feb 21 NUNCA RI TANTO, o filme em si é ruim, mas por ser ruim fica genialKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK See more Read all reviews
