This is not the Tim Burton, Michael Keaton "Batman". This is pure West, Adam West that is, playing Batman only the way he knows how, pure camp. Is the acting over the top? Yes. Is the story silly? Yes. Is there Bat-shark Repellant? Yes. Did I enjoy the movie? Very Much Yes. If you are looking for a movie to play it straight, be the dark, super-hero movie that Tim Burton produced in the late 1980s, you'll be in for a bitter disappointment. The story, for what it's worth, has all of the Batman villains coming together to dream up a plan to take over the world. The plan? It's not important, but if you must know, it involves dehydrating the members of the United World Nations, or whatever the UN is called in the movie, then running the world from the Penguins submarine. It's pure camp, silly, but still entertaining.
