HOLY CHEESE, BATMAN!
|
Whoever thought of making a spoof of the Darkknight character was absolutely brilliant. I mean, you gotta admit, Bruce Wayne takes himself just a little too seriously, don'tcha think. Okay, yeah, his parents were murdered right in front of his eyes at such a young age and I guess that could make anyone go a little batty. However, this is not even discussed in the Adam West portrayal of the caped crusader. He's just some guy in a bat costume who has a young "friend" who also likes to wear tights and a cape. The two of them go around Gotham City fighting the crazies that are in and out of Arkham Asylum on a rotating basis. "Thank God you caught the Penguin, Batman, but, uhhh...we're gonna release the Riddler now so you have somethin' to do..."
Well, in this movie, they are all out; the Penguin, the Riddler, the Joker, and the purrrrrfect Catwoman played by the beautiful Lee Meriwether...even though my favorite is still Julie Newmar...
and of course, these crazies are going all out wreaking havoc and chaos all over the place.
In the show you primarily saw the fantastic Batmobile...in this movie, all the stops are taken out and you see the Batcopter, the Batbike, the Batbidet...just kidding...but I remember seeing this as a little kid and I was just so amazed by all of Batman's devices. I once made a "Batarang" out of a clotheshanger...as a matter of fact, I did poke my sister's eye out...how did you know?
Of course the great cheesy writing is definetely a part of this movie. It's not quite as sharp as the television show, but it is still pretty good. There's a great scene where Batman is running around like a madman trying to detonate a bomb. Everywhere he goes, he is frustrated in his attempt, finally he looks in the camera and in typical Adam West delivery, says, "Somedays you can't get rid of a bomb..."
Yeah, tell that to Tim Burton...all of his Batman movies were bombs. And don't be telling me that he explored the deeper and darker parts of Bruce Wayne's fractured psyche. His movies were pure bat guano...
But back to this one, yeah, it is a cheesefest, but I sit on the couch with my nephews and I'm wiping tears from my eyes because it's so silly, so ridiculous, and so incredibly funny.
So, yeah, I highly recommend this.
Batpeace and Batblessings to all of you... |
