Dunna-nunna-nunna-nunna…holy miniseries, Batman!! This week, we’re kicking off Eye of the Duck Knight with the very first theatrical movie about the Caped Crusader!

Leslie H. Martinson’s 1966 BATMAN may not be the most faithful adaptation of the iconic superhero, but it is definitely the most colorful. And insane! Really, what is going on with the US foreign relations in this film?
