COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Love it! submitted by lstorc on August 12, 2018, 11:31pm Who doesn't appreciate the comedic genius of the original Batman series?

So much fun submitted by kencza on August 9, 2019, 3:50pm I really enjoyed revisiting one of my early teen obsessions, I watched every show(twice a week) and I enjoyed the villains as much as Batman and Robin. Frank Gorshin, CesarRomero, Victor Buono, . Julie Newmar(teen crush).....the colorful costumes, the word captions. I'm glad they are still available to watch.`

Pow! Zap! submitted by FordAlpha on August 13, 2019, 3:26pm The Adam West Batman is such fun to watch. This campy TV show may not be to your taste if you're a fan of the brooding Dark Knight, but it's great for anyone who loves silly puns and spandex! This first season is the most essential because it focuses on all the best known, greatest villains of Gotham City, whereas later seasons introduced more and more ludicrous and forgettable bad guys.

Great Classic Series! submitted by dave_472 on July 18, 2020, 11:09am Loved this TV series! the movie was good too... classic retro!
