this is so camp it isn’t true, just brilliant family entertainment, great sound effects, doesn’t take itself seriously at all, so cool in a kitsch way I guess now. The bright colours, the shaky sets, the “pow” noises, something of its own kind, not like anything else, I loved it, you could act this out as a kid. And you alwys knew the good guys would win of course, that was the whole point. Then as time goes on everything gets a bit darker, love the new films too, but not sure that they would be suitable for me at the age I started watching batman films way back. They are actually scary, my little brother (11) couldn’t watch the dark knight, it really freaked him out, the old 60s film just wouldn’t have done that at all. So anyway I love these films and I think they get better as time goes on and the films develop. the latest batman film, the dark knight rises, being penned as the last batman film, is really looked forward to! So I have only seen the trailer of course using the star spangled banner hauntingly sung by a young boy in a football stadium in the USA, cutting to the cockney michael caine butler, with seemingly amazing special effects and real suspense, amazing, a whole new kettle of fish, and I can’t wait to see it. this for me has amazingly managed to add a touch of reality to a ludicrously fantasy story, so you think, what if…while you are watching it…what an achievement really, I’d love to be bale to do that, let your imagination run riot but yet with a veneer of “ this might really be possible “ alongside. Cool.
