Batman: The Scheme Is Sound

It's exactly what it appears to be: a pitch-perfect "new" episode of the Batman '66 show, that just happens to feature an all-child cast.

I really can't imagine how or why this happened, but I'm delighted it did. The editing is stellar, the plot is solid and appropriate, the pacing unflagging, and the tone is, as mentioned, pitch-perfect to the original show. And the costuming and props--well, no spoilers, but if you're anything like me, you be impressed, pleased, and possibly amazed.

The actors do a good job with staging and maintaining a consistent tone. Particular stand-outs include (Collin Cummins) Robin and Chief O'Hara (Judah Martin) and I predict that Josiah Hamby (the Riddler) will be a star some day, if he wants.

The innovation of goons who SING along with a villain's theme song is sheer genius.

For some odd reason, the YouTube upload of the video has only 91 likes; it deserves a million more, at least.
