Good Movie, The TV series was better
How well I remember at age 6, living in Los Angeles, when this movie came out. It and the TV series, were nearly as enormous as Beatlemania. Massive promotions, this movie was mainly for the kiddies. Other reviewers here, provide details, so I will highlight some other aspects of it.
The movie is far more camp, than the first season on TV, which, especially the first 10 or so two-part TV episodes, is the best introduction to Batman, ever.
Still, the movie makes for excitement; camp comedy (played as straight, of course); special effects; and something most fail to realize, to see all four of the main villains (understanding, of course, for Meriwether) all together, is sheer excitement, no question.
It is also "boss" for Angelinos to see film sets, which are places we grew up near.
