Tongue-in-cheek humor prevails in Batman, a witty homage to the Dynamic Duo's exaggerated exploits. The Caped Crusaders (Adam West and Burt Ward) are called in as a last resort when the criminal masterminds of the millennium team up to conquer Gotham City by turning the U.N. Security Council into dehydrated dust; among the villains are the Joker (Cesar Romero), Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), and the Penguin (Burgess Meredith). The entire cast is excellent, particularly West and Ward, who distinguish themselves among a standout list with hilariously straight-faced performances. The film includes some truly memorable scenes, highlighted by a particularly tenacious shark with a vertical leap that would put Spud Webb to shame and a bomb on the waterfront with no place to explode (nuns, infants and lovebirds beware!). ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

When great Grandnephew of the Lone Ranger himself, Britt Reid, is given the job of management of his father's paper, The Daily Sentinel, Britt decides to do something about the crime in the world; he dons a mask and starts fighting the world's ills as The Green Hornet. The vigilante, assisted by Kato his driver and loyal servant, fights crime but must flee the police after criminal capture to prevent arrest for his unsanctioned crusade. The Green Hornet's fabulous car Black Beauty was actually a modified 1966 Chrysler Imperial, which was altered by famed auto customizer Dean Jeffries. The Green Hornet and Kato crossover into several Batman episodes including The Spell of Tut, Tut's case is Shut, A Piece of the Action, and Batman's Satisfaction.
