BATMAN - THE NEW ADVENTURES OF TV SERIES(1977):
The complete 1977 animated tv series of Batman!
This stars the great talents of Adam West and Burt
Ward, reprising their roles from the 1966-68 series!!
Unknown why they didn't also have the wonderful
Yvonne Craig return as The Batgirl!! Woulda been
cool!!
Also on this disc is a special feature entitled "The
Dark Knight Revisited"! A fun watch!
The real unfortunate part of this series was that
they chose to dumb it down by including the
ridiculous Batmite!! A terrible choice, as he really
detracts from the whole series!!!

From an IMDb.com customer
for me,this is not a good TV show,animated or
otherwise.it is however,annoying to the nth
degree.there are a few reasons for this,in no
particular order.first,the intro of one of the
most pointless,and annoying characters ever,
Batmite.this character serves no purpose for
the show,whatsoever.maybe it is intended as
comic relief,but it doesn't work out that way.
next up,the Joker.i thought it was really
ridiculous to have his character let loose with
that ridiculous laugh after almost every
sentence.talk about repetitive.this gets old
really fast..also don't think the had the right
actor to voice the character.it just doesn't
sound at all like the joker should sound.lastly,
they made Robin look like a complete dork.
other than these problems,the show isn't
that bad.but these are big enough problems
to drastically lower the likability factor.for
me,"The new adventures Of Batman" is a
3/10,at best. - disdressed12
