A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

BATMAN AND ROBIN ARE BACK - PLUS THE VILLAINS...
I showed you this DVD back in December, but have only now got around to watching it. Know what? I really rather enjoyed it and would heartily recommend it to all fans of the '60s BATMAN TV show. CATWOMAN is seriously sexy for an animated drawing, and there's a great moment when ADAM WEST uses the MICHAEL KEATON line "You wanna get nuts...? Let's get nuts!" from the 1989 movie.
The only reservation I have is that Adam West does sound a bit old at times (well, he was in his 80s), but I believe that technology exists for making people sound younger (utilised in the CAPTAIN SCARLET TV ads featuring FRANCIS MATTHEWS and ED BISHOP in the early '90s) so it's a shame it wasn't used in this instance.
However, that's a minor thing, and it's simply great to hear West and Ward playing the CAPED CRUSADERS again. And the other voice artists do a great job sounding like the villains. Well worth having.
