Editorial Reviews: Adam West and Burt Ward are taken on a crazy adventure when the Batmobile is stolen from a car museum and they must track down the thief and return it. After solving a puzzle, they realize that the clues to finding the fiend who stole the Batmobile are hidden in their past
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Laughed till i cryed Comment: I always loved behind the scenes documentary's and with the twist of the batmobile being stolen was just priceless. The last time you see frank gorshen (rest his soul) this is a hoot to all of those baby bloomers like myself and fans of television documentary's. Customer Rating: Summary: Batman-Return to the Batcave Comment: Batman - Return to the Batcave Was good to watch, remembered seeing in on TV. Liked how they showed how they met and what their lives were like back then. Was interesting, a bit campy, but interesting. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Disappointing Comment: If you are an avid Adam West or Burt Ward fan this is the video for you. If you are a fan of the old Batman and Robin series that you watched as a kid and would like to see old episodes, don't buy. It is very disappointing to see Batman and Robin as they are now riding in the Batmobile. That is a video that we can do without. Customer Rating: Summary: return to the batcave Comment: the movie was a very similar type as the original Batman. it was funny t watch and see them now. good quality dvd. Customer Rating: Summary: Fun Comment: If you are an obsessive (or maybe even casual) fan of the "Batman" television series (120 episodes on ABC from 1966 to 1968), you are likely to enjoy this 2003 made-for-TV feature; which works best for viewers who can appreciate the many inside jokes. Dawn Wells was one of the producers of "Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt" (2003) and the concept is much like what she did with "Surviving Gilligan's Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three -Hour Tour in History " (2001). The idea is to cut back and forth between the 2003 reminiscences of Adam West (the original Batman) & Burt Ward (Robin), and two different actors Jack Brewer & Jason Marsden playing the Batman and Robin parts in recreated versions of 1960's scenes and behind-the -scenes stuff. It's not a collection of old clips from the series, although there are some clips from the theatrical movie "Batman" (1966). The excuse for Adam and Burt getting back together is the theft of the original Batmobile from a charity event. As they work together to solve the crime they reminisce about the original show, the recreated Jack/Jason scenes fade in as the Adam/Burt discussion fades out. The writing is not particularly clever, the performances are nothing special, and the budget is not particularly large (factors which nicely match those of the original series), but an assortment of old cast members make an appearance and everyone seems to be having a good time working on this reunion project. It is even more obvious that West modeled the original Batman's speech patterns on Clayton Moore's "The Lone Ranger". As most fans know, West had to restrain his acting for the series but he fully grasped the humor of playing the role entirely straight, while Ward's total lack of prior experience and marginal talent proved an asset as his Robin characterization actually worked better "because" his acting was so wooden. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child. More Reviews
