DVD EXTRAS on 2008 Special Edition Are Fun  - LOVE This Campy Movie!

DVD EXTRAS on 2008 Special Edition Are Fun - LOVE This Campy Movie!
Some TV shows and movies date themselves, but Adam West's Batman is so perfectly cartoony that it will never grow old. Rotten Tomatoes gives this 1966 movie 81%! This is a review for the 2008 Special Edition DVD reissue.[Edited to add 07/15] When I wrote this review, "Batman: The Movie" was only available in DVD. After the (finally!) release of the TV series on BluRay/DVD, this movie has been released on BluRay. I've been told the extras are different.The movie starts out with this dedication, which exemplifies the campy humor, fake seriousness and double entendres of the movie and TV show:"We wish to express our gratitude to the enemies of crime and crusaders against crime throughout the world for their inspirational example. To them, and to lovers of adventure, lovers of pure escapism, lovers of unadulterated entertainment, lovers of the ridiculous and the bizarre ... To fun lovers everywhere... this picture is respectfully dedicated.If we have overlooked any sizable groups of lovers, we apologize. -- The Producers"Batman and Robin go in a huddle with Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara after Batman's hilarious fight with a shark, on a rope ladder, hanging from the BatCopter, where he hits the shark and it sounds exactly like he's hitting a rubber fish, said rubber shark finally repelled with a handy can of Bat Shark Repellent. The crime duo had been tracking a yacht, which mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the ocean.The four huddlers come to the horrible conclusion that they are up against four supercriminals working together:Batman: "Pretty fishy what happened to me on that ladder."Commissioner: "Where there's a fish there could be a Penguin."Robin: "It happened at sea. See? "C" for Catwoman."Batman: "The exploding shark was pulling my leg."Commissioner: "The Joker!"Chief O'Hara: "It all adds up to a sinister riddle. Riddle-er. Riddler?"Aaargh!! Yes, the fab four criminals are after the yacht owner's new invention, the Total Dehydration Machine. With it, you can turn a person into a pile of colored dust. Later, just add water, and the person pops back up.How will our favorite crime fighters defeat them, especially when Catwoman dons the disguise of a Russian reporter to get close, very close, to Bruce Wayne? Dressed in a leopard skin hat and coat, she first introduces herself to Batman at a press conference: "Comrade Kitayna Ireyna Tatanya Kerenska Alisoff. I am from the 'Moscow Bugle'." Aaargh again!This movie is great fun to watch, with all sorts of verbal and visual jokes. And everybody seems to be having a great time. The movie is presented in widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The menu and extras, however, seem to be TV-sized.Here's the extras on the 2008 Special Edition DVD:1. Commentary. You can watch the movie with commentary by Adam West (Batman) and Burt Ward (Robin). As there's only two commentators, there are some pauses, but it was fun. Like me, you may wish that Julie Newmar had played Catwoman in the movie. Ward remembers that Newmar was busy filming "MacKenna's Gold" and not available.West says: "These tights were not terribly comfortable."Ward: "Holy Understatement! I called them my python pants, because they strangled me to death."The TV show ran for three years on ABC. Ward remembers that the Bat Cave was a very expensive set. "When we were cancelled, if they hadn't destroyed it, NBC was gonna pick up the show and we would probably still be shooting today."2. Batman Featurette. This is a 30 minute short with interviews with Burt Ward and Adam West, accompanied by movie outtakes and stills. Ward remembers that he had a great stuntman, but he still kept getting hurt. "During the first episode, four days in a row in the emergency hospital. I didn't think I was going to survive the first week."West remembers that the TV show had 250 guest stars, including the people who pop up out of the window while Batman and Robin are doing their "infamous" wall-walk. This was a coveted guest appearance and people who wanted to do it but couldn't get the scheduling included Frank Sinatra!The short ends appropriately, with Ward crying, "Holy DVD, Batman!"3. Batmobile Revealed, with George Barris. This short is an interview with the designer and builder of the original BatMobile. I don't know about you, but THAT'S the BatMobile I want! It includes a hilarious remembrance of being arrested in Fargo North Dakota for driving the BatMobile with "no windshield wipers and incorrect taillights."4. From the Vaults of Adam West. These are photos and stills from Adam's collection.5. Behind the Scenes Still Gallery. More photos.6. Theatrical Trailer7. Spanish Theatrical Trailer8. Teaser9. Planet of the Apes Cross Trailer. A theatrical preview showing snippets from Charleton Heston's "Planet of the Apes" to introduce the remake of the same movie.10.
