RETURN TO THE BATCAVE: THE MISADVENTURES OF ADAM AND BURT, a new television movie that reunites "Batman" series stars Adam West and Burt Ward in a comedy adventure where they stumble upon a diabolical plot to steal the original Batmobile from a charity benefit, will be broadcast as the "CBS Sunday Movie," Sunday, March 9 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Original series stars Frank Gorshin (The Riddler), Lee Meriwether (Catwoman) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) make special appearances.

While trying to unravel the details and find the Batmobile, West and Ward flashback to the tumultuous times of their 60s television series to reveal a bizarre behind-the-scenes story of the creation of a television classic, from their on-the-set explosions to their wild real-life encounters with fans.

"Batman," the cartoon crimefighter, created by Bob Kane in 1939, came to television with a big splash in 1966 and ran through 1968. The show starred Adam West as Bruce Wayne, a Gotham City millionaire whose secret identity was Batman, a masked, caped crusader who used sophisticated paraphernalia to capture crooks. Burt Ward co-starred as Dick Grayson, Wayne’s teenaged charge, who also had a secret identity as Robin, the Boy Wonder. Together, Batman and Robin worked to help keep Gotham City safe for all of its citizens.

Adam West is best known for his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the classic television series "Batman." West’s other television credits include "The Last Precinct" and "The Detectives." West has starred in over 40 feature films, including "Young Philadelphians," "Marriage of a Young Stockbroker," "The New Age," "An American Vampire Story," "Robinson Crusoe On Mars," "Soldier In The Rain," "Nevada Smith" and "Batman." West has voiced several animated series, including "The Simpsons," "The Critic," "Family Guy," "Batman," "Johnny Bravo," "Rugrats," "Animaniacs," "The Super Adventure Team" and "Spydogs." West’s animated short film, "Redux Riding Hood," was nominated for an Academy Award.

Burt Ward is best known for his role as Dick Grayson/Robin, the Boy Wonder, in the classic television series, "Batman." Ward’s other television credits include guest appearances in "The Simpsons," "Clueless," "Tarzan and the Super 7," "Legends of the Super-Heroes" and "Living Single." Ward’s feature film credits include "Beach Babes from Beyond," "Hot Under the Collar" and "Assault of the Party Nerds 2: The Heavy Petting Detective." Ward runs a charity that rescues and cares for abandoned Great Dane Dogs and operates Boy Wonder Effects, Inc., which provides 3D animation and visual effects for feature films and television.

Emmy Award-winner Paul A. Kaufman ("Run the Wild Fields") is the executive producer for RETURN TO THE BATCAVE: THE MISADVENTURES OF ADAM AND BURT. He also directed the film from a script by Duane Poole ("Surviving Gilligan’s Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three-Hour Tour in History") for Artisan Entertainment, in association with The Kaufman Company.

I'm making this thread a sticky. Everybody that visits the Batman board might not be visiting the other Batman movie thread I have going or just don't have the time to read through all the pages that post has now. I'm making this a sticky because it has one page and it has the date in the subject line. That will make it so much easier for everybody, I would think.

I'm unsticking the thread. Hope everybody enjoyed the movie!
