    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Vicki Vale was created in 1948, the year before the film. Artist Bob Kane based her on Marilyn Monroe, who he met at a Hollywood party. Vicki was a common character in the Batman comics until 1963, when the editors "cleaned house" on Batman's list of regular costars. She made a print comeback in 1977, and has sporadically waxed and waned in importance in that medium, as well as animated cartoons. Kim Basinger played her in Batman (1989).

      Wires can be seen when The Wizard is supposed to be invisible, most notably in the telephone booth when The Wizard is on the run and calls his headquarters.
    • Quotes

      Officer Murphy: You can't go in there!

      Vicki Vale: Well, I'm Vicki Vale of Picture magazine.

      Officer Murphy: Vicki Vale, eh? Well, I'm Officer Murphy of the Patrol Bureau. You still can't go in there!

    NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
    I do believe that the sequel Batman serial is very dated for the 40s and that time period, but it is a very nice representation of how the times were then. The only thing I don't like is there is no batmobile or any of the fancy cars as in the current 90's films. The costumes are very good and represent how earlier forms of Batman and Robin really were. They were not always the plastic wearing gurus of today's movies and it was more practical for the hero to get hurt or killed, thus the chapters every week and cliffhanger endings. Overall, I give Batman and Robin 1949 a rating of 7 out of 10.

    FAQ1

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
