Batman The Movie, based on the comics books
7.7 out of 10


It could be more fun to watch this adventure comedy from 1966, than the more recent super productions.

Granted, this cinephile is not keen on any of the comics based productions, old or new.
But there is a charm, a naïveté to this old crime story.
When Batman and Robin run on the streets of the city, you can exult - or just find it ridiculous- at the special effects of the age.

There was a time when they could not film protagonists in their cars, as they drove.
Orson Welles was one of the best directors ever and the one who introduced some new techniques, from his Magnus opus, Citizen Kane, to A Touch of Evil.

Batman The Movie does not bring much though, apart from the sense that this was 

The Age of Innocence...

In terms of special effects anyway.
