    This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

    I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

    This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

    This is probably the best Batman show you can watch in history and the dark knight

    To the unsuspecting public, and Police, they are Bruce Wayne, billionaire, and Dick Grayson, his nephew. However, to Alfred, their butler, they are Batman and Robin, scourge of Gotham City's criminals. Whenever the Police encounter a crime they cannot solve or criminal they cannot apprehend, it's Batman they turn to.With the current incarnations of Batman all portraying him as a dark, shadowy, troubled, intense character it's difficult to comprehend that Batman was originally a fun, almost light-hearted series. This series reminds us of those times.Good fun, with some decent humour. Sometimes I don't think the writers were trying to be funny, it's just that the scripts are so loose some things just come out that way, especially when viewed with a 21st century lens.The novelty and originality does wear off though, resulting in the plots being quite formulaic after a while. Another negative is Burt Ward as Robin / Dick Grayson - I found his "Holy (whatever)" shtick quite over-the-top and irritating from the start.

    This one of the funnest TV shows ever. See it if can. It is not as good as Batman the movie form 1966 staring Adam West as Batman. Batman (1989) is also better. Batman returns is also better. Batman forever is also better. Batman and Robin (1997) is also better. Batman begins is also better. The dark knight is also better. The dark knight rises is also better. But still it is very funny. L.o.l. This is one of the funnest TV shows you will ever see. Yvonne Craig who play Bat girl is very pretty. It a great show. Great show great show great show great show. See it see it see it see it. It will make you laugh. He he he he it's funner then Modern family or Big bang theory. The Big band theory and Modern family are not funny at all.

    STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday MorningWhat with this being the year of the release of The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's final instalment of his Batman saga, it's interesting after all his dark, moody exposition on the tale (which, admittedly, suits it better) to travel way back in time with this first live action spin on the comics that you can catch every day on ITV4 in the afternoon. Given the cynical, sniping nature of people today, this poor show will be ripped to shreds in the manner of a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey, but that's not to say it still can't be seen as great fun, unintentionally (probably) hilarious in every way.It's curious, given how seriously everyone involved seems to take it, how silly and laughable it all comes off. Maybe in it's day it sounded more natural, coming from a more innocent time before swearing and violence became more commonplace, but it's hard to imagine even then it coming off without any derision. Adam West plays the part like it's Shakespeare, looking so ridiculous racing around in his silly Batman costume which looks like it came from a fancy dress shop, ditto Robin, Burt Ward's high pitched voice grating on the nerves, and seemingly saying 'Holy' everything. Add to that a 'Bat' this and 'Bat' that and the inevitably corny looking special effects and you've got the recipe for a hoot. And why, if Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are trying to keep the Dynamic Duo's identity secret, does nobody twig that their voices sound exactly the same?Just like in The Dark Knight and Tim Burton's Batman, the Joker's what it's all about, and just like Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson's respective takes on the villain made those films what they were, so Cesar Romero's campish maniac brightens this colourful show's style. I would quite gladly have done away with all the other villains who weren't fit to lick his boots, quite a few to get through considering all the other minor, truly pitiful villains, as well as other main players The Penguin and The Riddler. Given how Nolan has tried to give the series a more sophisticated, polished, mature feel in recent times, although the effect may not be the same, it's interesting to look back at when people didn't take things so seriously and the series had a, probably, unintentionally campy, funny edge it possesses tenfold by today's standards. ****
