Episode Summary

Almost 35 years after the demise of the original show comes this new television movie that reunites Batman series stars Adam West and Burt Ward in a comedy adventure where they stumble upon a diabolical plot to steal the original Batmobile from a charity benefit! While trying to unravel the details and find The Batmobile, West and Ward flashback to the tumultuous times of their 1966-68 ABC television series to reveal a bizarre behind-the-scenes story of the creation of a television classic, from their on-the-set explosions to their wild real-life encounters with fans.

    This movie stars Adam West and Burt Ward, where they are invited to a charity event at a museum where the batmobile is on display. The Batmobile is stolen and they must solve the mystery. They also recall memories from their Batman days. hide show

    I thought this was an interesting movie, because you get to see the original actors of the series in the movie and they have to solve a crime, and while solving the crime, they recall memories and details from when they auditioned for the 1966 series which made it more interesting. It was delivered with humor and reminiscing. You get to see some of the original villians from that time and also how they made decisions concerning the show. For those fans of the series, I think you will enjoy this movie. I enjoyed it better than watching someone play Batman in Tim Burton's movies because that's not the Batman I remember.
