[edit] Production

The film's budget was even lower than the first one, and as a result, Batman drives a Mercury convertible. However, the acting was regarded as better than the first. In particular, Lowery is regarded as being a much tougher Batman than his predecessor Lewis Wilson.^{[citation needed]}

The serial was released on DVD in 2005.
