Batman: The Movie (1966)

"It has a few inspired slapstick sequences... but the emphatic senselessness gradually becomes tiresome. More surprisingly, the production work is by and large excellent."

"It remains one of the most enjoyable superhero films ever made."

"Comic book movie camp at its finest."

"(It) transfers everything we love from the series to the film."

"At the least, you watch and think, "What opportunities Superhero Movie missed.""

"(The) humour is stretched to the limit, colour is comic-strip sharp and script retrieves every trick from the highly popular teleseries' oatbag, adding a few more sophisticated touches."

"In 1966, you could still drive up to a wharf in Santa Barbara, draw arched eyebrows on a bright blue mask, have a few laughs, and call it a Batman movie."

"You have to trust me when I say it’s even sillier than you think."

"This iteration is the most fun Batman has ever been..."

"The over-exaggerated dialogue and the ensemble cast of villains are very true to the style of 1960s comics."
