looks a bit dated, but still an unpretentious & fun classic
|
| Comic books, including Batman titles, are NOT literature and are meant for CHILDREN and not adults. What I love about this movie and the old 60s TV series is that it is intentionally designed to be a fun ride for Saturday morning television. When the comic book culture in North America started in recent decades to become "serious", pretentious and filled with the type of moral ambiguity that one normally finds in adult fiction, comic book aficionados (being mostly overgrown children in their 20s and 30s with too much disposable income) started lambasting this fun and goofy classic as an insult to Batman and comic books in general. In effect, they are criticizing the main essence and purpose of comic books (FUN AND DISTRACTION) in order to defend their misguided understanding of comic books as serious drama, if not high literature itself. For the rest of humanity, who are more socially mature than these pathetic hardcore comic book readers, this camp classic will bring out the innocent laughter and fun that all comic books should have. However, like classic Star Trek and Star Wars: A New Hope, the look of this Batman movie has not aged too well and marks it clearly at an earlier era when good guys still wore bright colours and spouted moral lessons for the children watching the show. |
