The production values are pretty impressive for the time. The props, like the Batcopter, as well as the cost of on-location filming, etc., must have cost a bit.
The expression on the Joker's face at 5:42 as Chief O'Hara is atking him off to prison is hilarious and says it all:"Curses! Foiled again by the Dynamic Dum Dums! How on Earth did they (Batman and Robin) survive the explosion?!"
I saw an episode of Ironside today, which I believe guest-starred Alan (Alfred) Napier as a friend of the Chief. It was titled "Return to Fiji", and involved gold smuggling.
i don't care what critics said about every 1st and 2nd season episode having the same pattern as long as they didn't have plot lines as corny as this i liked them.
HOLY, I CHUFFIN' LOVE IT!!! I heard on facebook there's a HOLY ROBIN Flash Mob happening at Grey's Monument in HOLY Newcastle, HOLY Saturday 24th of HOLY April at Holy 2.30pm. HOLY Robin outfits are a HOLY must. Gonna be HOLY fantastic, Batman!!!
I used to live for Batman when I was a kid. But after seeing SNL's "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" skit I'll never again see Batman with the same innocent eyes of my youth. Oh. And Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) would be fairly useless in a fight but she was a hottie and really great as Marta in the Star Trek (TOS) episode "Whom Gods Destroy".
whatever people say of this show it is like able maybe a bit corny but not as heavy as scary movie or something like that. the actors are good as well.
Why wasn't Batgirl involved more in the fight scene prior to her and Robin getting thrown in the saucer? This was the problem with her being a non-judo
version of the character--what can she do in a fight?
I rather watch this batgirl from the 60's batman show than that shitty batman and robin because this movie Joel Schumacher fuckup barbara gordon's character, she is not the niece of alfred she is the daugther of Commissioner gordon. Here in the TV show the did it right.
I don't know why, but whenever you bring all these colorful characters (i.e. robin, Batgirl, etc) into Batman it feels really gay and kiddish. I just fell in love with Nolan's gritty Dark Knight because it captured the true eeriness of Gotham with style just like Tim Burton created his Nightmare before Christmas masterpiece. The Joker isn't supposed to be some giggling happy-go-lucky cartoon he is a TERRORIST and a murderer. Also, the old Jokers were too well-groomed, Heath's wasn't.
Well, this version is supposed to be "kiddish" and comedic, really. This show had some of the biggest stars of their era. That must have been hilarious for Ceasar Romero throwing out those lines in the saucer regarding the devices being activated / deactivated.
He was named after the Joker playing card which was when Batman defeated him as the Red Hood at Monarch's playing card factory and he fell into a vat of chemicals transforming him into his clown like appearance.
comissioner gordon was on drugs..he didnt know what day it was,,can you imagine a commisionere letting a man in tights fight crime...he would be in hampstead with george michael
starwind you could'nt be more wrong as a diehard cesar romero fan i really wish ppl would stop trying to compare romero and ledger and saying heath is the far betetr one. These are 2 totally different joker's i love the idea of the way he plays him in the new movie but as a kid and to this day cesar romero will always be the joker to me, he was amazing in this role . Hail cesar! woooohahahhahahahaha
I have to agree with gamblingreg. Why do some keep trying to say "This actor id Better than that actor in that role"?
That series is almost over 50 years old and you are trying to comapre a tv series from 1967 to a movie in 2008? You have to be dumb to do that. Besides Yvonne Craig was the BETTER Batgirl than Alicia Silverstone any day
I don't know. At least Alicia could fight besides high kicks. She could punch and actually flip and do splits. I'd like to have seen Yvonne throw at least one punch, and not a girly one either.
It was NOT the worst sequel. I thought they cast that movie very well. And you don't know that for a fact Yvonne Craig would win. I'd like to see both Batgirls go toe-to-toe. See who comes out on top then.
Yvonne Craig by a mile. I don't care how old this TV show, the casting they did was great. The Riddler was better than Jim Carrey, the Penguin was better than Danny DeVito, both Catwomen were better than Michelle Pfeiffer.
I will say Arnold was better than the Mr Freeze who says "wild:" though.
I can respect your opinion FanOfBats. But I will say this: I'm backing out of this convo before I lose my temper and type something that'll get me in trouble. So, whoever and whatever, end of story.
@FanOfBats i agree with everything u said except for mr freeze i say the one from batman TAS was awesome and i think cesar romero was not as good as heath ledger or mark hamil
"Because she's a girl" is a simple version of the truth. Batgirl, and all other women in the series, can kick, use improvised weapons (such as planks or pipes), and various sprays (poisons and the like). These actions tend to result in total knock-outs. Punches could easily be returned. And this was the 60s (and even in modern media) you don't punch a woman.
I totally agree with you FanOfBats. This is a priceless show in my books and I know as well with others. Screw these greedy studios from making youtube remove them. This is the only way we can still enjoy the show; at least until it comes out on DVD. Thanks very much for posting this.
