Win Return To The Batcave DVDs

added 17 June 2005 at 17.16

Adam West and Burt Ward reunite for this brilliant tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Batman TV show. Find out more and win copies.

A fun-filled feature film tribute to the 1960s TV series, Batman, Return To The Batcave: The Misadventures Of Adam And Burt reunites the show's original stars, Adam West and Burt Ward for another action-packed romp over 35 years after the pair finally hung up their capes.

A definite must-see for all Batfans, the film also stars several of the show's original villains, including Frank Gorshin (The Riddler), Julie Newmar (Catwoman) and Lee Meriweather (Catwoman in the 1966 "Batman" movie), and reveals the bizarre and hilarious behind-the-scenes true story of the creation of a television classic.

When Adam West and Burt Ward are invited to a charity auction in which the Batmobile from their 1960s Batman TV series is to be sold, they're shocked to discover the car is stolen right from under the noses of the once-dynamic duo. Deciding that no one is better qualified to find the Batmobile than the actual Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder, West and Ward head off in search of the missing vehicle.

Unravelling a series of mysterious clues along the way, the pair are forced to relive their past through a series of flashbacks as they reminisce about the long-gone days when they were the most popular TV stars on the planet. Theirs is a tale of daily on-set injuries, constant attention from lusty female fans, rumours of gay affairs and complaints from the censors regarding the show's sexual innuendoes and the all-too revealing nature of Robin's trunks!

Forget Keaton, Clooney, Kilmer and Bale, Adam West proves once and for all that there was only ever one Batman and that, even after a period of 35 years apart, he and Burt Ward have lost none of the on-screen chemistry that made them the most dynamic duo in television history.

Rounding out the cast are newcomer Jack Brewer as the young Adam West, Jason Marsden as the young Burt Ward, and Angel star Amy Acker.

Full of brilliantly inspired in-jokes and references to the hit series, Return To The Batcave is shot in the familiar style of the original TV show, complete with crooked camera angles, questioning voiceovers and plenty of Blams and Kapows. The film also features a show-stopping "Batusi" dance sequence in which Adam West is paired with the still stunning Julie Newmar in what is a brilliant tongue-in-cheek tribute to the cult TV show.

Return To The Batcave: The Misadventures Of Adam And Burt (12) is available to buy via Anchor Bay UK from Monday June 13
