So, I finally saw the 1966 Batman movie today. Fucking spectacular. For those not in the know, Batman and Robin discover a plot wherein the Penguin, Joker, Riddler, and Catwoman team up to steal an experimental dehydrator to take over the world. Hilarity ensues.

Seriously, this was fucking phenomenal. The writing was hilarious, the plot was stupendous, the acting was as good as possible, the score memorable, and it ends with a twist that will leave you stunned.

oh, and it gave us Bat-Shark Repellent

So, engines to power, turbine to speed, and away we go! Let's talk about this awesome flick.

there's a bit when all the bad guys are on the sub, shooting torpedos

catwoman is watching through the parascope and starts meowing and writhing around like a cat

and a henchman in the background suddenly stops what he's doing and slowly turns his head to stare at her, completely bewildered and confused

he's the only one

the only sane man in the entire world

Xaquin

I still don't know why the Bat Shark Repellent worked on a robot shark.

Antimatter

also, I was really worried they weren't going to have the comic book style sound effects on screen

I was relieved at the climax

YES SPEED YES

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

Here are the riddles. See if you interpret them as I do:

What's yellow and writes?

A ball-point banana!

Exactly! And:

What do you call people in a hurry?

Rushing... people... Russians!

Right again! Now what do they mean?

Banana... Russians... someone Russian is gonna slip on a banana peel and break their neck!

Exactly Robin! The only possible interpretation.

it wasn't a robot shark

it was a normal shark stuffed with explosives

I love almost all incarnations of Batman
Except for Schumacher Batman and The Batman cartoon

he has a wine glass full of milk

also also also, my brother was worried about the dehydrated henchmen, and said "don't they have families?" Then, of course, the Penguin says "be careful with that dust, they all have mothers."

in the commentary on the DVD adam west mentions that they had wanted to redo the shark scene because the exploding shark was so fake

he convinced them that that made it funnier

I like how the sidecar of the batcycle can detach and is a little gokart so that robin can drive around to his side of the batcopter

KalTorak

(while running)
Robin: Holy marathon! I'm getting a stitch, Batman!
Batman: Let's hope that it's a stitch in time, Robin, that saves nine - The nine members of the United World Security Council!
Robin: ...

This wonderful

Speed Racer

guys you guys

this movie is on netflix instant

let's do a viewing party on xbox live

Bedigunz

Isn't the plot of this movie kind of like the plot of Batman Begins?

Not the ridiculous super villain teamup, but more the whole plan to dehydrate everyone?

I haven't seen either movie in 2 years so all the movie plots blend together

Well, in that both plots involve water in some way.

both of them have a dehydration machine

but liam nesson just wanted to use it to blow up the sewers or something

the united underworld was using it to dehydrate world leaders and hold them for ransom I think?

or maybe just kidnap them for the sake of kidnapping them I'm really not sure

I like to believe that the machine in BB is a reference to the one in B:TM though

KalTorak

The machine in BB was a magical microwave emitter that would vaporize Gotham's pressurized water supply, driving Scarecrow's hallucinogen (which had been dumped into the water) into the air to be inhaled by the whole city.

The machine in B:TM was a handheld human-dehydrator which reduced a human being to a small pile of powder which could be reconstituted. The villains used it to take the Security Council members hostage for $1 billion from each country.

Speed Racer

to be fair it wasn't just a human dehydrator it was an everything dehydrator

If I remember right Commodore Schmiddlap was going to use it to revolutionize the distillery industry?
