BATMAN AND ROBIN ARE BACK - PLUS THE VILLAINS...

BATMAN, ROBIN & CATWOMAN copyright DC COMICS

I showed you this DVD back in December, but have only now

got around to watching it.  Know what?  I really rather enjoyed it and

would heartily recommend it to all fans of the '60s BATMAN TV show.

CATWOMAN is seriously sexy for an animated drawing, and there's a

great moment when ADAM WEST uses the MICHAEL KEATON line

"You wanna get nuts...?  Let's get nuts!" from the 1989 movie.  The only

reservation I have is that Adam West does sound a bit old at times (well,

he was in his 80s), but I believe that technology exists for making people

sound younger (utilised in the CAPTAIN SCARLET TV ads featuring

FRANCIS MATTHEWS and ED BISHOP in the early '90s) so it's a

shame it wasn't used in this instance.  However, that's a minor thing,

and it's simply great to hear West and Ward playing the CAPED

CRUSADERS again.  And the other voice artists do a great

job sounding like the villains.  Well worth having.

   

Great to see the '60s BATMAN logo again

The opening credits are great - and don't miss the end ones

ADAM and BURT spy on JULIE's bedroom (he lied)

You'll gasp at some of the positions she assumes

LEE, JULIE and EARTHA - though only Julie's voice is the original
