This show consisted of two hour-long episodes: The first one being an adventure story, the second one is a roast featuring Ed McMahon. Be warned- if you think that superhero movies should be serious and realistic, this is even cheesier than the Batman show with Adam West,(I didn't know that was possible either) who, along with Burt Ward plays his most famous role. Anyway the story is that the villains(who include Frank Gorshin as the Riddler and Howard Morris as Dr. Sivana) plan to destroy the world using the bomb, not bothering to demand any ransom money or realizing that they have no escape plan. Each of the heroes attempt to stop the evildoers,and eventually have a brawl with the villains at their secret hideout("Hidden Island Lake!"). The fighting itself is pathetic, and just not the same without the "POW!" sfx. Obviously, the good guys win. Enter Part 2: The Roast. Basically a number of skits,which include Batman and Robin playing charades(I am not making this up) and an appearance by Ghetto man. Again, I am not making this up.If you like awful, obscure, low budget movies, this one's perfect for you. And even if you don't like those kinds of flicks, watch this anyway. 'Cause this stuff's soooo unbelievably bad,it's good.
