This is not the serious, dramatic and high-tension Batman movie like the Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan films, but a classic, campy and comedic movie based on the TV-series.
The plot is pretty simple - the Caped Crusaders must stop the combined forces of the Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman from taking over the world by holding the nine Security Council members hostage. The story is like an episode of the TV-series, but only prolonged to about an hour and a half.
Not the most exciting Batman movie, but it does have some fun action and comedic moments (like the part where it took Batman forever to dispose a bomb), and the plot was actually pretty fast-paced - pitting Batman and Robin against the four most popular villains in the trilogy is a clever touch. And, the special effects were well done back in its day, especially the execution of the Batmobile, Batcopter and Batboat, and the cinematography is colorful. There's even a nice little romance subplot on the side involving Bruce Wayne and Miss Kitka.
Overall, not a bad movie. It has its corny moments, but its pretty good Dynamic Duo fun.
Grade B-
