Batman is arguably the most popular and enduring comic book character. With a prolific oeuvre and a decade-spanning legacy, the Caped Crusader has been a major part of pop culture since his debut in 1939. Naturally, the hero made the jump to the silver screen as early as the 1940s but reached the peak of his fame during the last decade of the 20th century and well into the 21st.
Anyone who enjoys the campiness of the 1966 TV show will adore Batman. It was the first full-length theatrical adaptation of the character, and it is very much a product of its time. It has silly jokes, over-the-top sequences, and self-aware humor that finds the humor in every situation. 1966's Batman is the opposite of the dark, overly gloomy, noir approach of modern Batman movies, but that's what makes it so special, if not necessarily rewatchable.
It's well-known that Batman & Robin is among the best so-bad-they're-good superhero movies. It's loud, dumb, overblown, and ridiculous, echoing back to the campy approach of the 1966 show with a heavy dose of director Joel Schumacher's neon-colored sensibilities. However, Batman & Robin is also a wonderful guilty pleasure, making it a good rewatch.
