Adam West and Burt Ward in Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016)
It's back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by Batman's most-evil opponents -- The Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City.

    • Trivia
      During a fight at a TV studio, the camera operator switches the camera to "Fight Scene" and the camera tilts to the side in a "Dutch tilt," which was used throughout the Batman (1996) television series and film to depict the "crooked" hideout.
    • Goofs
      When Batman uses his bat-brass-knuckle it suddenly disappears, and remains gone, after he hit The Penguin.
    • Quotes

      Catwoman: I'll turn myself in on one condition.

      Batman: What's that?

      Catwoman: We run away to Europe together, sip tea in a cafe, and live happily every after.

      Robin: Holy unsatisfying ending!

      Catwoman: And of course we kill Robin.

    • Crazy credits
      Then end credit sequence features Batman doing the "Batusi", which he did in the pilot episode for the 1966 TV series. Catwoman also does her own "Catusi". The dance names are references to a popular dance of the 1960s, "The Watusi". The format of the sequence is also similar to the end sequences of many of the 60s beach movies starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, although the dances were performed by Buster Keaton and his go-go girlfriend, Bunny.

    Great tribute to the past with some surprises
    A funny little throwback movie to the 60's version of Batman. It feels just like an episode from the show. Although it does has a few surprises along the road.

    It includes everything you come to expect from the campy fight scenes to the puns. Adam West does sound old and it can be distracting, but there's not much you can do about that. It's nice to hear him have fun reprising the role though and it is a great tribute to him, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar. It would not have been the same without their involvement. The movie switches gears half way through and what happens after that point actually surprised me. They pay tribute and celebrate everything about the 60's Batman, but at the same time they introduced something new and different. I enjoyed that twist because it showed some development with the characters. Catwoman was another surprise addition. She is given a lot to do and she becomes more than just a stock villain. She is an important part of the story. I did feel a little bad for the villains at a part too. They were given a few sympathetic moments.

    As a whole I'd say that if you enjoy the campy Batman and are a fan, then you'll have a great time with it. This is definitely not something everyone will get. I did have fun and laughed along the ride, so yes, it was pretty funny. And all the surprise character development moments were really welcomed.

    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?
