Batman: The Movie is a full-length feature film directed by Leslie H. Martinson and released in 1966. It is based on the then-popular Batman TV series, which itself was based on a series of popular comic books. It came out towards the end of the first run of the series' first season.The movie stars Adam West and Burt Ward as our Dynamic Duo as they rush to prevent The Joker, Catwoman, The Riddler and the Penguin (played respectively by Cesar Romero, Lee Meriwether, Frank Gorshin, and Burgess Meredith) from taking over the world. Hilarity Ensues.This movie is technically the very first example of a superhero feature film (not theatrical; that would be 1943's Film Serial The Batman) from a major Hollywood studio, preceding Richard Donner's Superman by 12 years. Previous efforts to bring DC and Marvel characters to the big screen were limited to matinee serials, cartoons, and the 58-minute indie film Superman & the Mole Men, which at less than an hour, would be considered a short.For the 1989 movie directed by Tim Burton, see Batman (1989). | |

Villain Ball | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: All the villains hold it, but Riddler uses both hands, as even the other villains advise him not to add his riddles to their ransom notes. But it's worth noting that Riddler's regarded as the clear brains of the foursome and actually comes remarkably close to killing the Dynamic Duo twice, and it's not his riddles that cause him to fall short either time. First, his kidnapping scheme proceeded perfectly and his trap worked just as well, as a hapless henchman later discovered; the flaw in the plan was that Riddler and the others simply didn't know that Bruce Wayne was Batman. Similarly, when his Polaris missile unintentionally takes out the Batcopter, the only thing that saves the lives of the heroes is the fact that they crash-land at the Foam Rubber Wholesalers' Convention. | |

Take Our Word for It: A porpoise hurled himself in front of that last torpedo. Really. There are a lot of bad guys on the sub in the climatic fight, but the only indicators of this is that they say so and there's a lot of yelling. Only one person is shown fighting Batman or Robin at a time. This goes beyond regular Mook Chivalry; the other bad guys aren't even in the shot waiting for their turn to attack; they're just not in the shot at all. | |

The United World Security Council takes the cake, unable to notice the criminals' entrance or the fact that the members are disappearing one by one. Commodore Schmidlapp doesn't even know he's been captured. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The song being sung at the nightclub Bruce Wayne takes Miss Kitka to is Plaisir D'Amour, and in spite of the pretty melody is actually about heartbreak and loss.

Even Evil Has Standards: Even the other villains think Riddler and his riddle-compulsion is a little out there. You will never see the Joker angrily say, "You're mad, Riddler," when pushed too far anywhere else. After dehydrating a bunch of mooks, as his men collect the powder, Penguin goes out of his way to admonish them to be careful not to miss any specks of them, as "every one of them has a mother". This actually leads to a Mood Whiplash later in the film for those who remember this scene. | |

He realizes they've unwittingly given themselves an opportunity to kill Batman and Robin and takes advantage of it. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite Bruce Wayne's escape during Act Two and the imminent arrival of the GCPD (or rather Batman and Robin), United Underworld's strike on the United World building proceeds as planned. Even with their base about to be abandoned, Riddler rightly points out they can't postpone the operation. Their strike accounted for the Gotham River tide; they have to go now, otherwise their submarine won't be able to get through the channel. | |

Broken Aesop: When reconstructing the world leaders, Robin suggests that they alter their personalities for the betterment of the world. Batman shoots the idea down with a "who are we to play God"-esque line. Cut to after they've done it successfully and it turns out the world leaders have apparently had their native languages switched around. Batman is perfectly fine with it and said it's a good thing for the exact reason he shot down Robin's suggestion. To be fair, there is a difference: Robin suggested doing it deliberately, which Batman refused, but when it happened anyway by random chance, Batman lets it slide. After all, who is to say the mix-up was not part of a divine plan? | |

What makes this doubly hilarious — apart from Joker being more than just a bit pale — is that this is the only thing the otherwise oblivious Commodore thinks is amiss. | |

Bittersweet Ending: In spite of playing off both incidents to Robin as nothing to worry about, Batman has his heart broken by the revelation that "Miss Kitka" is Catwoman, and the Duo (non-fatally) screws up in reassembling the dehyrated United World councilmen. | |

Honor Before Reason: Despite the fact that he and Alfred are specifically supposed to be watching Batman's date to make sure nothing happens to Ms. Kitka, Robin turns off the view-screen in the Batmobile during the make-out session because it would be dishonorable to play voyeur to their romance. Particularly dumb since he had just, moments earlier, started a ruse to lure the villains into striking. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy: United World Security. Though Penguin does have to knock a bunch of them out with sleeping gas, there are no guards at all in the meeting room. They're still worried about guards at this point, so apparently there's an elite group of guards that they found a path around. Also, if the end of the movie is any indication, the villains could have gone through the window and bypassed every guard. | |

Stock Footage: The Polaris missiles' launching. Scenes of the new Bat-Vehicles shot in the movie were also incorporated in the following seasons of the TV series. In one shot of the Polaris, the editors have attempted to make it look different by flipping the image so the fact that it's the same as the previous one will be less noticeable. Unfortunately, this just means that the word Polaris on the missile appears with all its letters facing the wrong way around. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise The Penguin, during his masquerade as Commodore Schmidlapp, not to mention the masks worn by any of our villains or by Robin. Catwoman and especially the Riddler continually put their masks on and take them off in each others' presence, which makes you wonder why they bother to wear them around each other at all. At one point, the Joker can be seen wearing a purple domino mask (that matches his suit!) for no reason. Who could forget "Mr. P.N. Gwynne?" Justified with Catwoman, since Batman hasn't actually seen her with her mask off yet and thus neither he nor the police know that "Ms. Kitka" and Catwoman are one and the same. Furthermore, since Kitka dresses up a lot and wears a lot of hats / hairstyles, she really is somewhat unrecognizable. | |

Bruce (who can't use his full fighting prowess for fear of exposing his Batman identity) manages to deck a few Mooks before they Zerg Rush and dogpile him. The Penguin opts to climb to the very top of the pile so that he may squawk in triumph and open his umbrella, because at this point in this crazy-ass flick, why the hell not. | |

However, this also assumes that Batman and Robin have never seen Catwoman unmasked, which is unlikely since she has been previously caught and imprisoned. | |

Villain Has a Point: During their cabal's first scene together, Catwoman finds Joker, Penguin, and Riddler bickering and their egos clashing. Catwoman blasts her colleagues; they're supposed to be the United Underworld, after all. Riddler (and eventually the others) grudgingly concedes she's got a point. They're about to execute the greatest criminal scheme of their careers — one that that will become the stuff of legend if they triumph — and it'll all be for nothing if they don't all swallow their pride. | |

Penguin is the main mastermind and "captain" of the submarine, Riddler helps with planning and problem-solving, and Catwoman seduces Bruce Wayne. And the Joker is...just sort of...there. The only thing he contributes other than being a lackey is the goofy springboard they intend to trap Batman with. Actually, Joker contributes to the cause by being the one who keeps Commodore Schmiddlapp in the dark as to what's going on, and (strangely enough) reins in the other villains' wilder impulses (telling Riddler to keep riddles out of his messages, breaking up the argument with Penguin and Riddler at the beginning, etc.). He's also the only villain who keeps his head when Batman attacks the submarine with depth charges during the climax, giving the order to surface. And Joker makes it clear to Penguin that he's not just another Mook when Penguin yells at him for leaning on the submarine's control panel. | |

On the DVD, Adam and Burt play it like this. Which, if you think about it, makes absolute sense. I mean, come on: insane Bat Deduction, impossible to believe stupidity (Commodore Schmidlap and the fake boat), the blatant moral lessons (the whole drunk speech), and shark repellent? And that's just a few of the more ridiculous things. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: The premise for The Movie and the Batman (1966) TV series is that only Batman can fight supervillains. Zigzagged when Batman quickly refuses Robin's idea to better the world by making a "Freaky Friday" Flip with the United World Organization Security Council, arguing that they shouldn't try to tamper with the laws of Mother Nature. Then happens exactly that, (but arguably, the Status Quo Is God still applies) and Batman takes responsibility just before going out inconspicuously through the window. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Things momentarily take a very sombre tone when the Penguin's rehydrated pirates vanish, and Batman confirms that they're very much gone forever (see Never Say "Die" below). This is amplified by the fact that earlier in the film Penguin takes pains to mention that every one of those men has a mother. This also means that, technically, the usually non-deadly Batman and Robin have just unwittingly killed a number of people. Also, when Batman finds out that Catwoman and "Kitka" are the same person at the end of a fun fight scene. The music stops, and Batman slowly looks up with a shellshocked look in his eyes. Robin tries to console him, but Batman dismisses him and reminds him they need to focus on saving the day and bringing justice to Gotham. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Zig-Zagged because the premise for The Movie and the Batman TV Series is that that incarnation of Batman only is useful to fight supervillains (and nothing more). He cannot change anything more in his world. Robin's idea to better the world by making a "Freaky Friday" Flip with the bickering United World Organization Security Council is quickly rejected by Batman. Then when this happens... The Security Council is still bickering between themselves, but each one of them is bickering in a different language. Batman realizes that Status Quo Is God and he and Robin go out inconspicuously through the window. | |

Weirdness Censor Why no one has reported the United Underworld activities. Batman blames alcohol in a low end neighborhood. The United World Security Council not noticing the villains entering the room. You could chalk it up to them being distracted by their arguments. Commodore Schmidlapp doesn't recognize the Joker, mentioning only that he looks deathly pale.

Spoof Aesop: While climbing up the wall of Ye Olde Benbow Tavern, Batman pauses to remark to Robin that they won't be viewed as conspicuous due to the many drunkards hanging around the wharf (see Unusually Uninteresting Sight). Robin later takes the lesson a little too far by suggesting it'd have been a good thing if Batman had let the entire tavern blow up, with Batman having to remind him that alcoholics aren't totally irredeemable and shouldn't die in an explosion. | |

Demoted to Extra: While Catwoman, the Penguin, and the Riddler all play critical roles in the plans against Batman, the Joker is essentially a glorified henchman. His only major responsibility is servicing Commodore Schmidlapp and providing the springboard for the jack-in-the-box trap. Upon repeat viewing, fans should note that Joker (strangely) acts as almost the peacemaker and mediator for the group, keeping their baser impulses in check and keeping them from killing each other. So though his role here is drastically different from how he's usually portrayed, Joker's front and center for all the important scenes and takes a hand in plotting just like the rest; he's no mere lackey by any means. | |

Shout-Out: After the United Underworld kidnaps the United World Security Council and escapes to their submarine, Robin says that they'll escape via Short Island Sound (AKA Long Island Sound). After the British United World delegate has been mixed with the Soviet, he uses his shoe to pound angrily on the desk during his rant — as Nikita Khruschev had notoriously done at the UN. The Penguin's muttered line while piloting the submarine: "Run silent, run deep", which is the title of a famous WWII submarine film. | |

Instant People: Just Add Water! | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_d51ea3ad | comment |
Instant People: Just Add Water!: Anyone dehydrated into powder can instantly be restored to full size if water is applied to them. This helps the Penguin sneak goons into the Batcave, but it ends up deconstructed when heavy water is used, causing the mooks to disintegrate upon contact with Batman. It's further deconstructed when the powders of the world leaders are mixed together, leaving them all speaking different languages upon adding water. The scene where the mooks disintegrate is also an example of Artistic License – Physics and Artistic License - Biology, as even if it were possible to bring the mooks back to life with heavy water, it wouldn't cause the effects seen in the movie.note Heavy water—-i.e., water in which the primary isotope of hydrogen is replaced with the heavier and much rarer deuterium-—is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, but is not radioactive by itself. Replacing all of the water in a human with deuterium would result in slow poisoning instead of instant annihilation upon touch. | |

Batman treats this obvious mistake as a miracle they shouldn't try to correct, because it may give the Security Council the necessary differences in perspective to bring about world peace; meanwhile, the members are still shouting over and ignoring one another, just in different tongues. | |

Male Gaze | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: There's a topless female statue in the hall of the United World; it can be difficult not to notice how many shots include it. Not to mention the entire office building rooftop of bikini-clad women jumping up and down and waving at the Bat-copter as it flies overhead. Robin's smirk says it all. | |

| Batman: The Movie / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Weirdly enough, the Riddler acts a lot more Joker-like than the Joker does, even though the Joker himself is present, albeit not in a major role. Justified, as Riddler is like this in the show as well, and this movie came before the two characters were more fleshed-out and individualized. | |

Take Over the World | |

Take Over the World: Believed to be the United Underworld's minimum objective. Two villains with no powers teaming together must be trying to take over the city. Add one more, they're going for the country. All four? The world. Ultimately subverted, as it turns out that despite all the zaniness the villains' plan essentially comes down to kidnapping a bunch of ambassadors and demanding a hefty ransom for them. | |

However, seeing her unmasked and realizing she's Miss Kitka throws him into a Heroic BSoD that leaves him too shocked to throw the punch. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Batman: The Movie / int_fc225bec | comment |
The scene where the mooks disintegrate is also an example of Artistic License – Physics and Artistic License - Biology, as even if it were possible to bring the mooks back to life with heavy water, it wouldn't cause the effects seen in the movie.note Heavy water—-i.e., water in which the primary isotope of hydrogen is replaced with the heavier and much rarer deuterium-—is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, but is not radioactive by itself. Replacing all of the water in a human with deuterium would result in slow poisoning instead of instant annihilation upon touch. | |
