Holy Crime Fighting Batman! the caped crusaders of the late 60's are back for a brand new adventure. Now in Animated form the story follows Batman and the boy wonder Robin who must stop Gotham City's most dastardly villains The Penguin, The Riddler, The Joker and Catwoman from stealing a duplication ray gun. Our duo travel into space to stop the trio and capture Joker, Riddler and Penguin, however after being poisoned by Catwoman our Bat masked hero begins to turn dark. With nowhere to turn Robin must enlist the help of some unlikely allies to get Batman back to his bat-dancing self.
For a follow on from the original TV series Return of the Caped Crusaders is a fun little film. All the cheese of the 60's TV series is here, The POWS! the various sprays that can counter pretty much anything and even a Batzooka. This was vintage gold label cheese right here and with Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar returning to voice their characters this will please any fan of the series. For a younger audience i'm not totally convinced this will work, It's not the modern day Batman, and we all know how majorly camp the original series is, but it is alot of fun.
The negatives, I found the beginning and closing acts a little slow at times but the middle act with evil Batman was very well done and lets be honest, Adam West is amazing as Batman, evil or good.
If you liked the original series then you will really enjoy this animated feature. Yes the animation may be a hard one to get use to for some people, but overall it works pretty well. The Return of the Caped Crusaders is cheese times and thousand and all the better for it.
