Here is your spoiler alert before reading any further.
We had the old style batmobile. The rhyming word choices and all. lol
Even the whole moral story line.
They used the basic characters from the original series. The main ones were the Joker, Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman. They looked just like the show with the Joker in his purple suit and all.
This was an interesting remake because it reminded me of the tv show and how it always had a moral to the story and values to be learned and kept. Batman and Robin are being the deputized civil servants that we saw in the old series. Following all the laws. (Well, except speeding in the chase scenes...lol)
The interesting thing was when Batman was poisoned by Catwoman and turned his morality code off. When he decides to take over Gotham and then the world with replicas of him it shows the duality of who Batman is and why him and the Joker are the same. Batman becomes very direct and violent in this role. Giving way to his primal instincts and goal of achieving the removal of lawlessness. Hell, he even pimped out the batmobile. lmao
As usual he has a contingency plan in place for being turned and is saved by Alfred. But up to that point it is funny and shows why there is the Dark Knight storyline.
Many of the original cast that are still alive did their own voice overs in this. Of course Adam West reprised his Batman role. They even had a vision of the different catwomen at one point. Even to include the sexy Eartha Kitt version.
But the most comedy was watching the bat dance at the closing credits and in the movie when he is performing for himself and the audience. Combine that with Catwoman basically doing the "rumpshaker" during the closing credits and you got some entertainment. lol
This is definitely a good remake. Shows where the show began and how it is so different today.
Check it out for yourself and reminisce.
