Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt

If you watched the '60s Batman series as a kid you'd probably get a 
grin off this spoof of a spoof.  

As in the original episodes, the storyline is thin.  The original 
Batmobile is stolen from a charity auction and Adam West and Burt Ward--
in Batman and Robin style--follow clues left by the mysterious thief.  
Intermixed are flashbacks of how the show got started, problems with 
censors, Adam's sexual excapades, Burt's problem with the battle of 
his "buldge," et al.

In addition to the original Dynamic Duel, Julie Newmar and Frank 
Gorshin make appearances as themselves.  As for the flashback actors, I 
wasn't impressed with Jack Brewer, who played a young Adam West.  He 
only sorta looked like him and IMO, didn't sound like him at all.  
Jason Marsden, who played yound Burt Ward, I thought was alright; not 
great, but alright.  The best casting was with the young villains.  I 
particularly liked the guy who played Burgess Meredeth (Penguin).

All-in-all, a fun romp.
