The second paragraph of the history section reads like a movie review and does not cite sources. I tagged it for the time being. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.43.234 (talk) 09:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Did this movie do that bad? If it had flopped, why didn't the studio cancel the TV show for losing it's money.

It made less than $40,000 but still made it's money back and the series lasted up to 1968 and another channel actually wanted to buy it but they destroyed The Bat Cave at it would've been too costly to rebuild for a fledging TV show.

I removed the Memorable Quotes section. That's what WikiQuote is for. OneGyT 02:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

best film ever!

[edit] Parody?

Is this film really parody? If you read Batman comics of the era, they're as camp as this. Isn't it more accurate to say that it's just a reflection of the campier side of Batman sometimes seen in the source material? CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 04:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meriwether instead of Newmar as Catwoman

The article contains the long-standing claim that Lee Meriwether plays Catwoman here instead of the TV show's Julie Newmar because the latter was committed to another film, Mackenna's Gold, in which she does appear. There is one big problem with this: the storyline requires Batman to not know what Catwoman looks like without her mask, and that would not have been the least bit workable if Newmar had done the picture, as she wasn't always wearing the mask in her first season story. I submit that this statement needs to be fudged somehow. Ted Watson (talk) 19:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
