I was just browsing through imdb.com and it seems they have the plotline up to the reunion movie. Taken directly from imdb.com:

Adam West and Burt Ward are taken on an adventure when the Batmobile is stolen from a car museum andy they must track down the thief and return the Batmobile. After solving a puzzle, they realize that the clues to finding the fiend who stole the Batmobile, is hidden in their past. As they think back, flashbacks recreate how they were cast on the series to their sexual escepades. Ultimately they find the Batmobile, but get caught in the villains lair. Tied to a bomb, will Adam and Burt get out in time?

Link to Main Batcave page: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0321359

They have some of the cast listed. Most of them are ones that we know (Adam, Burt, and Julie) but it has the one that will play the young Frank Gorshin up too. I have to say that the resemblance is uncanny. The guy playing the young Frank is named Brett Rickaby.

Here is the link to the big picture of Brett.

I guess the important question now about Brett is, can he do the famous Gorshin laugh?

I'll post updates as soon as they come.

I hope they have cast other actors to play young Adam West and Young Burt Ward.
As much as I enjoy their work, the thought of seeing two middle aged men wearing late 1960's clothes makes me a little queasy...

I think its a major downfall that they're using imitations for the original cast. What would a reunion movie be without the original cast? It sounds like a good plot for a reunion movie but, I hope the cast will succeed, and pull it off.

The way the description sounds it sounds like Adam and Burt will be at the beginning of the film, but when they start remininscing that's when the younger ones will come in.

Incidentally, from another board I post on occasionally they have who will play the young Adam and the young Burt. I've read from the other board that Yvonne Craig isn't going to participate in the project. She didn't like the script.

I kind of feel uncomfortable copying and pasting something from another board, but I will provide the link to the post. The link I'm about to post is from the 1966 Batman Message Board.

The link has really cool pictures from the set of the movie.

I just visited www.imdb.com and they have 3 more actors listed. If you went to any of the above links that I posted last time, you will know that Jason Marsden will be playing the young Burt Ward. I didn't want to put that on here yet, because it felt like I was stealing information from another message board. That's the main reason I waited to post the Jason bit.

The second one is an actor by the name of Rory Thost as Hunter.

The third one is an actress named Julia Rose. She will be portraying the young Julie Newmar.

Extra: Adam and Burt in another movie together? It may look this way if it goes into production. The movie is called 'From Heaven to Hell'. That movie has Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk) listed also. The movie is in preproduction, but I'll keep my eye out for any more news about the Batcave movie and the From Heaven to Hell movie.

DarleneIllyria · 09-05-2002, 02:58 PM

Just went to www.imdb.com again. They have one more actor up. Jack Brewer as the young Adam West.

DarleneIllyria · 09-20-2002, 04:56 PM

I just came from imdb.com and noticed that they have changed the name of the movie. The movie will now be called: Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt

I agree. I kind of liked the original name better too.

Impressions · 09-21-2002, 07:09 PM

I think the original name is was more appealing, the name gives to much away, thanks for keeping us updated.

Zebra 3 · 09-21-2002, 09:18 PM

Same here, Back to the Batcave had a ring to it, oh well.

DarleneIllyria · 11-10-2002, 02:03 AM

Just wanted to let everybody know that I've still got my eyes out for new info. They have posted the crew to the movie on imdb.com. I'm not sure if we have anybody on the board interested in the background scenes, but they have some of that posted. They haven't updated anymore of the stars of the movie. At first I heard they were going to show the movie in Nov. However, the other Batman board I occasionally visit they have some rumors flying around that it would show in Feb. of 2003. We'll just have to see when it airs.

Zebra 3 · 11-11-2002, 05:30 PM

I think we would of heard some promos by now if they were planning to air it this month, my guess, it will be sometime in February.

DarleneIllyria · 12-13-2002, 02:30 AM

I noticed on www.imdb.com that they have a new actress listed for the Batman movie. Erin Carufel will be the young Yvonne Craig.
