Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

John T. Ryan VERY LIGHT AND humorously framed, the series (only 2 episodes) was more of a lampoon of the Super Hero genre; rather than a genuine adaptation of the comics page to the small screen. The featuring of well known comic book characters and lesser 4 colour luminaries. DONE IN VIDEO tape, rather than film, the two episodes had the appearance of a "live" program. The use of special effects was added and dressed up things to appear as much like a real comic book as could possibly be. Sound effects enhanced the precedents, completely immersing our senses in every area.AS THIS WAS rendered in a very humorous manner, one might expect that the costuming, casting and characterizations to be of a lesser grade than more "serious" films and TV Series. Well, it wasn't so.IT IS INDEED ironic that such a strange hybrid and difficult to classify series would be the first to bring so many characters (both Heroes and Villains) to "life" on the screen. Among those premiering in the medium of TV were:Green Lantern (Howard Murphy), Black Canary (Danuta Rylko Soderman), Hawkman (Bill Nuchols) and The Flash (Rod Haase). AND THE VILLAINS: Weather Wizard (Jeff Altman), Sinestro (Charlie Callas), Mordru(Gabriel Dell), Dr. Sivana (Howard Morris) and Solomon Grundy(Mickey Morton).BECAUSE THE SCREEN Rights to DC's number one super-hero, Superman, were tied up in the productions of SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and SUPERMAN II, the Man of Steel wasn't present in these two productions. In his place was Captain Marvel (Garret Craig). It is interesting that the former real rival to Superman, adversary in the Courts and copyright feature of Fawcett Comics would be "substituting". But the rights to "the Big Red Cheese" had been purchased by DC several years prior.OUR FAVOURITE ASPECT of these two "specials" was their part in bringing back some folks to reprise roles that they made famous. We are referring to casting Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman & Robin; which of course, they had done over a decade earlier.JOINING IN WITH the original "Dynamic Duo" of Television was Mr. Frank Gorshin, returning as Edward Nigma, better known as the Riddler. ALTHOUGH THESE TWO programs were well received and served to indoctrinate a new generation of young 'uns in the tradition of the Comic Book Super Hero, two was their critical mass; as the idea self-destructed, never to be resurrected. BOTH MY BUDDY, Schultz and me liked it! So what was the problem with you other Bozos?

StuOz Australia calling. I never knew this even existed until just hours ago when, by chance, I bumped into on YouTube. Amazing! When I saw Batman and Robin talking like the 1960s B&R my jaw hit the ground! How could this have been made without anybody ever talking about it over the last three decades? A live action Adam West/Burt Ward Batman show in 1979!I have read so many things about Batman/Adam West, I have seen a few television shows on Adam West, but no mention of this?? This is eleven years after Batman (1966-68) ended but Adam and Burt look just great! And they are sometimes with my other caped friend Captain Marvel which makes it even better! You can say what you like about the bad jokes, and I admit the non-Batman parts of this show are mostly unwatchable, but hey, when B&R are present the whole thing is well worth watching...and I want it on DVD.

Thanosied790870 This show consisted of two hour-long episodes: The first one being an adventure story, the second one is a roast featuring Ed McMahon. Be warned- if you think that superhero movies should be serious and realistic, this is even cheesier than the Batman show with Adam West,(I didn't know that was possible either) who, along with Burt Ward plays his most famous role. Anyway the story is that the villains(who include Frank Gorshin as the Riddler and Howard Morris as Dr. Sivana) plan to destroy the world using the bomb, not bothering to demand any ransom money or realizing that they have no escape plan. Each of the heroes attempt to stop the evildoers,and eventually have a brawl with the villains at their secret hideout("Hidden Island Lake!"). The fighting itself is pathetic, and just not the same without the "POW!" sfx. Obviously, the good guys win. Enter Part 2: The Roast. Basically a number of skits,which include Batman and Robin playing charades(I am not making this up) and an appearance by Ghetto man. Again, I am not making this up.If you like awful, obscure, low budget movies, this one's perfect for you. And even if you don't like those kinds of flicks, watch this anyway. 'Cause this stuff's soooo unbelievably bad,it's good.

gurochuck You can't imagine how relieved I feel to know that I'm in good company with others who have seen this before. Like one other person indicated, I was beginning to think I dreamed this up. I've always been into comics so when I talk to people today (who claim to be even more into them)about these episodes, they say they never heard of them.I remember seeing them when I was about 7 years old and thought they were extremely funny and entertaining. That's why I can't understand why some of the other reviews are so critical. Isn't this show SUPPOSED to be campy and cheesy? I find it amazing that so many people who crave the substantial often times don't know where to look for it. And to add insult to injury, they look for it in places it OBVIOUSLY can't be found. C'mon guys, I got the humor when I was 7!! Lighten up a bit.I've recently ordered a brand new copy in DVD format off eBay.
