In 1966, Batman made a splash on television screens, launching the first round of Batmania. After the 1st season of the live-action superhero TV series, "Batman" expanded to the big screen with "Batman: The Movie." Unsurprisingly, Adam West and Burt Ward reprised their roles as the Dynamic Duo. Adam West's Batman has been long known as the campiest of the bunch, and "Batman: The Movie" is a fine representation of what made the original TV show so special. West's performance as Batman is iconic, and a great live-action depiction of the Silver Age incarnation of the character — whose adventures were as riddled with science-fiction as much as they were standard crime-fighting.
Adam West played Batman with a dramatic fervor that was believable even if the Caped Crusader was reaching for his "shark repellent bat-spray." As Bruce Wayne, West was cool, almost like an undercover agent. This is especially evident in his scenes with the Catwoman-in-disguise Miss Kitka (Lee Meriwether). As the Dynamic Duo battle all four of their main adversaries — including Joker (Caesar Romero), Penguin (Burgess Meredith), and Riddler (Frank Gorshin) — their only big-screen adventure was an explosive ride. The fact that Batman and Robin restore the United Nations from literal dust is a perfect depiction of the sort of outlandish material "Batman: The Movie" had to work with.
