    If I were a time traveler, I would go back to a showing of this in 1949 and play The Dark Knight instead just to see what happens.

    Let’s start by giving credit where credit’s due. Unlike its predecessor, Batman and Robin is not racist. It’s villain is not a white guy playing a person of color. The narrator does not condone the rounding up of Americans based on their ethnicity. So right then and there…

    The inspiration for the "Batman" '66 TV series. All the corniness, none of the self-awareness.

    Fun and intriguing plot but the doofus who played Robin deserves the death penalty.
