A villainous cad steals the original 1960s Batmobile, so Adam West and Burt Ward, not as the dynamic duo Batman and Robin but as actual Adam and Burt, attempt to retrieve it. Things get weird(er) after that.
The film serves as a kind of history of the show and a biopic of the cast. It’s impossible to know how much events have been embellished or where the truth is overlapped by fiction. It could've been a disastrous attempt to capture past glories, but the addition of some old style TV show transitions, occasional skewed camera angles and iconic music make everything feel lovingly camp, turning danger into success.
