I'm a few hours late with this, but Batman: The Movie debuted in US cinemas on July 30th 1966.

Since the other Batman movies get anniversary threads, I think it's only right this one should too.

So happy birthday to the first feature-length Batman movie!

It's a brilliant, well made Batman movie. The perfect entry point for the younger Bat fan.

Happy 45th.

Love Batman: The Movie.

Remember watching it alot during the summer of 1995 when I FINALLY got a copy of it on good ol' VHS.

The perfect entry point for a younger fan? Don't you think s/he might get the... wrong ideas? IMO B:TAS is the perfect entry point for younger batfans, it's "dark" enough and family friendly enough.

Still, I love this movie.

Eh. Whatever floats your boat. At that age, I think kids just want to be entertained. It's not too scientific. If it's fun, they'll get on board. And the 66 film fits the bill.

B:TAS is superb, but I'm not sure if very young kids would appreciate it.

Batman '66 is the perfect introduction for kids Ral Jr's age because it gives them all the wacky villains and action scenes of a classic Batman story, minus the dark, disturbing elements that would freak them out. It's also good as an introductory film because it explains who all the characters are and is very easy to follow.
