We should feel very lucky to have 2 more depictions of the Caped Crusader 60's batman with Robin with their original voice actors, there will never be another person who can give that character life again. This movie was quite a way to go out to.
If you liked the original series, this is a movie you need to see.
Original fans of batman will remember his 60's series lacked two-face, but at the time there was a treatment for the character, it however was deemed to be too dark and graphic for the light hearted nature of the show at the time.
This movie while inspired by that treatment, was actually inspired more by other stories including Hugo Strange's story about unmasking batman's identity and selling it to the highest bidder.
The movie is filled with countless Easter eggs and classic villains. There is even an Easter egg with Hugo's assistant most comic fans will notice right off the top.
The film keeps the light hearted nature to heart and never goes too dark, but it isn't above poking fun of itself through modern cynicism at times much like the last animated adaption. Again what you are left with is a Batman story that feels like it could have been a series of episodes. This was a good year for animated batman releases.
