a5c7b9f00b Batman and Robin of the 1960s live action series are back in action to take down their fiendish foes united once more against them. Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. This time, the four super villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo really have their hands full. Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders The reason Batman is so angry nowadays is because it&#39;s illegal for him to hang out with underage boys. Butthis animated-adventure depicts, back in the 1960s, men and boys were free to frolic. The caped crusader (Adam West) confounds his premature partner (Burt Ward) when he adopts a more ridged approach to crime fighting. But the Boy Wonder doesn&#39;t have time to dissect this new Batmantheir vilest villains The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler and Catwoman (Julie Newmar) have teamed up to take the Dynamic Duo down for good. The cartoon continuation of the campy 1960s TV show, this DC Entertainment feature finds some original cast members returning to voice their charactersbestoctogenarians can. Embracing the burlesque, while welcoming the darker aspects, this beautifully rendered revisiting is ideal for older, less discerning fans. Incidentally, modern Batman fights crime by simply trolling villains online. Green Light Adam West and Burt Ward return to the iconic roles of Batman and Robin, providing voices for a new animated take of the classic 60&#39;s campy series, in which the dynamic duo face a … killer quadruple … of Catwoman, The Joker, The Penguin and The Riddler. <br/><br/>There are two main problems with this film. One is the story. Rather than being a coherent plot that builds to something, it&#39;s a case of several scenes leading to a fight, repeated three times. It feels like they wanted to make a series but there was insufficient interest so they reworked that together into something resembling a movie to salvage something from it and unfortunately, what they salvaged is a lacklustre affair at best. <br/><br/>The principle problem though is one of tone. It&#39;s never sure whether it&#39;s mocking the source material or reverential of it, so it undermines both and serves neither. There are a few decent references to other incarnations of the character sprinkled around this, but it really needed to go full parody or not exist at all. <br/><br/>The animation style is nice, a little reminiscent of &quot;The Animated Series&quot; at times,wellthe original series. West and Ward do well with the characters though Julie Newmar&#39;s unmodulating performance doesn&#39;t help lift the interest levels. The other three principle villains are wasted opportunities, obviously nobody could emulate the late stars that iconically played them, but they mightwell be mute for all they add to this. <br/><br/>I was a fan of the series when the reruns aired when I was a child, but this tedious film takes two minutes of ironic enjoyment and stretches it well beyond breaking point.
