Digital Gonzo 75: Batman – The Movie [1966]

Posted By Alex Shaw on Jun 25, 2012 | 0 comments

This is the first of eleven shows reviewing the many many movies that have been made about The Batman, starting way back with Adam West and culminating with The Dark Knight Rises, coming to cinemas this July.

My guests this week are Joshua Garrity of Cane and Rinse, Neil Taylor of GameBurst and KDS 2.0 and Jerome McIntosh and Paul Gibson of Gonzo Planet. On the chopping block we have an extremely divisive depiction. Some will find it irritating, shallow, pointless and boring, others consider it a masterclass of camp humour. Will we manage a balanced view?
