Dopey enough to roll your eyes at, but fun. Impressive that they managed to recreate one of the most expensive series from the 1960’s convincingly on a lean TV movie budget.
As I recall, the Falseface episodes were a big influence, but I can’t recall how. The first episodes of the series were Riddler episodes, so they give those some attention. So if you wanted to do additional homework beforehand, I’d watch those
Adam West hadn’t been Batman in live-action since the 1970s, and he had last voiced him in the 1980s. So it had been a while. (But he did play the Gray Ghost in the interim, of course.)
