I guess I love this serial so much because it takes me back to Batman's roots. Those silly, formulaic stories (always ending in a life or death cliff-hangar), the `40s cars, fedoras, suits, and gangster slang, all take me back to the core of Batman with an unfiltered lens. Unlike the Tim Burton film or Bruce Timm animated series, both of which tried to recreate a sort of 1940s Gotham City, this serial was actually there, filming as the 1940s were happening. In a way, that makes this feel like ... Read More

I loved the cars and dress of the time.

Despite the overt racism, low budget, and low quality Batman suit, this serial was much, much better than I expected. It is vastly, vastly superior to the almost unwatchably bad 1949 serial, `Batman and Robin'(some would say that the 1949 serial is not `almost' unwatchable). This serial should be very enjoyable to fans of old movies, B-pictures, golden age comics, as well as serials. I rate it as one of my top 5 favorite serials.
Admittedly, Lewis Wilson's Batman suit leaves a lot ... Read More
