Originally intended as a movie-length introduction to the 1966 TV series, the first Batman feature film was held from theaters until the show was a proven hit. This epic tale teamed up four of the Caped Crusaders most dastardly foes - the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin and Catwoman - in a plot to use a device that can dehydrate humans into piles of dust. Thankfully, Batman and Robin are on the case, and justice prevails. This is a great introduction to the total insanity of the TV show, featuring such unforgettable gimmicks as Bat-Shark-Repellent and the unforgettable scene of Batman trying to get rid of a bomb.
