Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is by far the best Batman production since the original comic books. The realism is not matched, even in Nolan's films. For the time, no ALL TIME, the cinematography is brilliant! Constant plot twists and profoundly touching dialog between Batman and Robin make this truly the only Batman film worth watching. Subtle nods to the crime stories (spoiler - like the gangsters constantly picking up their hats when they get knocked off) are there if you look for them. Its goodIts Great!Watch it!!On second thought Batman and Robin of 1997 was marginally better.

Bereft of the budgets and storytelling ingenuity Republic Pictures brought to their chapter plays, Columbia's first stab at DC Comics' Batman franchise is a drab, exceedingly repetitive bore, with J. Carroll Naish's "oriental" villain Prince Tito Daka dreaming up some of the most inane--and easily survivable--traps for heroes Batman (Lewis Wilson) and Robin (Doug Croft), who change clothes so frequently in odd places together (in the backseats of cars, in alleyways, even behind trees!) that it's not surprising Frederick Wertham would later blow a head valve over this stuff. Hell, Bruce Wayne's "excuses" for missing time with girlfriend Linda Page (Shirley Patterson) are almost brazenly gay, even for the period. The cliffhangers that cap certain episodes--usually after yet another poorly staged fistfight between the heroes and Daka's goons--are woefully under-realized (a car wreck is heard but not seen, as is a building explosion), usually with the heroes simply emerging in the next episode from wreckage we never saw happen. Skip this one.

Every superhero has to begin from somewhere. In 1939, Batman makes his debut in the comic world as a violent and somewhat ruthless superhero (He actually uses a gun in the early strips). 4 years later, this superhero, along with his sidekick Robin, make their screen debut in Batman.In here, the Caped Crusader (Lewis Wilson) and Robin (Douglas Croft) do their business as usual when they gradually discover a criminal plot by Dr. Daka (J. Carrol Naish), a Japanese spy who runs a covert operation in the Metropolis's (Gotham City's) now-deserted Little Tokyo. His purpose: to create a "new order" in which Japan and Germany are the two rulers of the world.As far as production values go, it's not worth complaining how tight the production budget was, but it surely was put up to better use than most Republic serials with more money to spend. The set pieces are creative and well done and the costumes are acceptable, considering that this is the character's debut on the silver screen and, unlike subsequent Batworks, has nothing else to back itself with save the comics. The acting is quite good, and the two leads set the standard that would be used later on, and you sure love to hate the villain. Most of the cliffhangers are great and keep you anxious for the next chapter. And most importantly, it set up the format that would be re-used in the sequel serial of Batman and Robin 6 years later and the 1960s TV show, both with significantly bigger budgets but with a little less imagination.I know many people will complain about the anti-German, anti-Japanese tone of this show, but, let's face it, the year date says it all: 1943. Made at the height of World War II, with Pearl Harbour still a raw wound and both the Germans and Japanese represented the rival camp that by then were so close to achieving world domination, so it was definitely appropriate for its time. Besides, you can look at almost any other serial or movie of the day and almost all of them have the same message. That being said, this is perfect escapist fun, despite the overt patriotism, and is a must for Bat-fans and serial collectors. Those who are put off a bit by the campy Adam West romp will be amused that this one is less so!

When the 20th Century-Fox TV series "Batman" made its debut, the serial was already playing in special release. Hugh Hefner had booked the serial for his Playboy Club theater in Chicago, and was so pleased with the results from his key-club members (some of whom laughed, some of whom were nostalgic, but all of whom enjoyed the picture) that he had it booked into a public theater downstairs. Based on this, Columbia Pictures put together "An Evening with Batman and Robin", and four-walled (in exclusive screenings at mostly Art Houses) it around the country. The timing of the series and serial was co-incidental. The details of this period are covered in articles in both FILMFAX and EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTIONS magazines.
