Batman and Robin of the 1960s live action series are back in action to take down their fiendish foes united once more against them. Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. This time, the four super villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo really have their hands full. *I Will Try Not to include spoilers but will notify you beforehand if I deem it necessary.<br/><br/>Overall: This movie was pure nostalgia for people who love the Adam West Batman. This movie was thoroughly entertaining but many audiences, particularly those who do not enjoy or at least feel nostalgic from the Adam West era of the Caped Crusader.<br/><br/>Good: It is very very well animated and the music is incredible and nostalgic. It is quite funny and there are numerous incredible jokes throughout the movie. It provides true fan service and that was clearly the main point. Voice acting is very well done with memories of Adam and Burt coming back! The onomatopoeia bubbles are back and provide nostalgia as well as comedy. The villains are great(it is batman after all!). A great joke for older audiences is placed in there that went past all children (and somehow the BBFC).<br/><br/>Bad: As a film it is more of a 6/10 because it's main goal was for fan service so emphasis on story was clearly left out as it follows a cheap path with 'unexpected turns' that do nothing to amaze. The source of comedy comes in the form of nostalgia and can't be found for everyone. The third act felt forced and though it needed a climax could have been done much better.<br/><br/>Best Part: Act II<br/><br/>MVP: Adam WEST as BATMAN!<br/><br/>8/10 If you grew up knowing that Adam West is Batman, you tend to find the movies a bit - childish. I know that sounds odd, but Ward and West were fantastic. These later attempts at Batman have missed the point. Batman shouldn't have a body count. The last Superman / Batman gorefest left me with such a disgust for the franchise (Batman flat out murders unarmed people) that I didn't care if they ever made another. Then this appeared. Batman - return of the caped crusaders is brilliant. It is how the Batman was envisioned, a do-gooder who was a role model. He was justice.<br/><br/>Best scene? "3 Catwomen?" Buy this, give it to your friends. They will kiss you right on the mouth for it.
