Legends of the Superheroes

Since I WAS 6 YEARS old, I have been a comics and superhero buff. I saw this TV show when I was 11 years old. I have been looking ever since! I was too young to commit to memory any of the actors names. Recently, I saw an old photo of Frank Gorshin. That photo sparked a memory that HE was in fact in this production. That memory led me to this discovery!!! You can't imagine my delight in FINALLY reaching this point. My siblings were too young to remember seeing this. My parents said maybe I imagined this because of all my other comic/movie collector paraphernalia. I will soon GLADLY purchase a copy of this for my collection. One way or another, this will be mine... ;o)

I saw both episodes, the normal episode and the roast, on a tape you can buy at many large comic conventions (so to everyone who wants a copy, that's how you can find one).

These things were flat out funny. They appeal to both the lifelong comics-lover and the person whose only experience with comics were the Batman movies.

The acting ranged from horrible (Charlie Callas) to the mediocre (Jeff Altman) to the great (William Schallert, Garrett Craig). The jokes were great.

Together, these are two very entertaining hours you won't forget. The tape should only cost around $20, and I highly recommend it!

I own a copy of this and it's hilarious. Watching it nowadays, it's so comical. I love the riddler! He's perfect and Frank Gorshin does him beautifully! I think everyone should see this movie! Even if it is just for a laugh!

Australia calling. I never knew this even existed until just hours ago when, by chance, I bumped into on YouTube. Amazing! When I saw Batman and Robin talking like the 1960s B&R my jaw hit the ground! How could this have been made without anybody ever talking about it over the last three decades? A live action Adam West/Burt Ward Batman show in 1979!

I have read so many things about Batman/Adam West, I have seen a few television shows on Adam West, but no mention of this??

This is eleven years after Batman (1966-68) ended but Adam and Burt look just great! And they are sometimes with my other caped friend Captain Marvel which makes it even better!

You can say what you like about the bad jokes, and I admit the non-Batman parts of this show are mostly unwatchable, but hey, when B&R are present the whole thing is well worth watching...and I want it on DVD.

When I was young, this was the greatest thing to ever happen to me because I was so into comic books. It's like a blur now, but I would love to see it again. It sucked, but in such a cool way. If I didn't meet up with someone else who remembers it as a blur, but knew that Adam West played the Batman role, I'd have never known the name of the movie.
