The first full-length theatrical adaptation of the DC Comics character of the same name, the film stars Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
The film hit theaters 2 months after the last episode of the first season of the TV series.
It includes most members of the original TV cast, except for Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the first 2 seasons; in the movie, she was replaced by Lee Meriwether.
In the last scene, the Security Council is re-hydrated. All members are restored, but continue to squabble amongst themselves, oblivious of their surroundings; however, each now speaks the language and displays the stereotypical mannerisms of a nation other than their own.
Batman expresses his sincere hope to Robin that this “strange mixing of minds” does more good than harm. The duo then quietly leaves United World Headquarters by climbing out of the window and descending on their bat-ropes.
