Can't...stop...laughing...

Batman: The Movie (1966) = pure awesomeness.

For anyone who has not seen this movie...my heart bleeds for you. You are a deprived person and must remedy this injustice immediately for this is nothing like any other batman movie. This is made of pure cheese and corn, like enough to feed a small country quesadillas for eternity. (mmmm quesadilllas....) Here's a synopsis from imdb:

When the four greatest arch super-criminals ever to plague Gotham City join forces, their only objective can only be the entire world! Armed with Penguin-personalized a pre-atomic submarine, an army of ruthless pirates, exploding sharks and octopi, and an arsenal of polaris missiles, the Penguin, the Joker, the Riddler and Catwoman have set their sights on the United World Security Council! Can the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin, stop the United Underworld before its too late? Will they save the Security Council from almost certain dehydration? Can they possibly save the free world from the four most powerful villains it has ever seen? 

All brought to you in Technicolor, the latest movie invention.


Now if that didn't convince you to see it maybe this will...



Now I know its easy to focus merely on a few things...like the fantastic spelling out of the sounds that you'd be correct in thinking makes the fight scenes purely epic...that you may have missed some of the awesome. Let me bring those to your attention...notice the costumes?

For example: Robin, you'll see, is sporting a shiny yellow satin cape, elf shoes and green granny panties over his skin tight full body leotard. Penguin is wearing the latest fashionable tux with purple Abe Lincoln hat while the Joker is showing off his colorful side in a bright fuchsia suit and yellow hair. Again this is made possible by aforementioned Technicolor...they make the most of it.


Have you added this to your must see list yet? No? Well then how about this?

Its got puppet sharks, signs on everything obvious, weirdest sayings ever, and the absolute latest in awesome gadgetry...like flying umbrella rockets, Batcave entry via Batpole complete with Instant Costume Change lever and optional Compressed Steam Batpole Lift, and the "Super Molecular Dust Separator".

Oh lets not forget about Commodore Schmidlapp's super-dehydrator that the Penguin explained best when he said: "Don't be afraid, you'll feel nothing, I'm merely going to temporarily extract every bit of moisture from your body..."


Still not convinced? What is wrong with you?
Alright how about a riddle? Will that finally peak your interest? Here we go...

1) What has yellow skin and writes?
2) What people are always in a hurry?

Got your answers? Good now what do they mean when you put them together?


Figured it out...Confident in your decision are we...Is that your final answer?


Well get ready cause you're well...probably wrong.

Let me take you through their thought process to the correct answer...

Answer for 1) a ballpoint banana
Answer for 2) rushing people = russians
Now put those together and you get: Someone russian is gonna slip on a banana peel and break their neck.


*snarky smirk* Told you you were wrong.


Now if all that doesn't tell you how much you need to watch this classic film then I give up. You officially have no taste and we can regrettably no longer be friends and I say goodbye and leave you with my favorite line...

"Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb."
