Sequel to the 2016 adventure Return Of The Caped Crusaders this is another animated outing in the vein of the original television series complete with original cast.

Adam West, Burt Ward & Julie Newmar return to reprise their roles with more goofy comedy and nostalgic charm.

This time Two Face has returned and it's down to the dynamic duo to stop him.

This alike the original was at a disadvantage from the get go as I'd never been a fan of the original television series. I never disliked it, I just never saw the appeal.

Batman vs. Two-Face is loyal to the source material although a tad darker in places. Alike the first film this will appeal to fans of the original show but possibly them and them alone.

Nostalgic, charming but highly niche.

The Good:

Nostalgic

Well made

Great voice cast

The Bad:

Won't appeal to everyone

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Friends before females is the pg version of bro's before ho's

Your mother wears combat boots is a totally over the top insult!

Holy sequel! Adam West and Burt Ward return for Batam vs Two-face.

This film is as good as the first be maybe a bit better, Batman and Robin face there latest foe Two-face from releasing a gas that will turn everyone in Gotham City into two-faces.

Like the first this film shares it's campy tone and like the first it has some mildly dark elements but this maybe more mildly darker since deals with Two-face.

On the film, Dr. Hugo Strange is demonstrating his evil extractor on the supervillains of Gotham extracting there evil ( I can't remember exactly why) and suddenly things go wrong. Batman and Robin are there with District attorney Harvey Dent and Harvey is violently hit by gas and debris although Batman tried to save him Harvey becomes Two-face and vows to destroy The dark knight and the boy wonder.

This movie was a lot of fun to watch William Shatner of a people plays Two-face and his was awesome especially when he does his bad guy voice, he played him very seriously. I give it a 7/10, this film is the best of the two films and I'm especially glad that Adam West did these animated movies before his passing. If you like Adam West's Batman or if like campy humor give it a look.

If you were a fan of the 1960s Batman TV show with Adam West, then you will also love this 2017 animated movie. It was very much right on the money, and had captured the essence of that cheesy Batman show from way back when.

Sure, it was a hilarious idea about being able to suck the evil out of the villains of Gotham, and it fitted right into that goofy 1960s Batman show.

They had some very good voice acting for this animated movie, which really worked well in favor of the overall enjoyment of "Batman vs. Two-Face". And for as an animated movie, then having proper voice acting is a must.

I will say that they also had good drawing style and animation, which actually did appeal to make, and it made watching it all the more easy and enjoyable.

All in all, "Batman vs. Two-Face" as actually an adequate animated movie and turned out to be rather entertaining.

If you like the old Batman TV show, you will like this. It's probably even funnier than the show. Even though Two-Face is in the title, all the villains are in this one too. It's a shame they didn't start making these Batman '66 cartoons 20 years ago. I hope they find an Adam West impersonator and make more of these.

Catwoman (Julie Newmar) is in prison. Professor Hugo Strange has invented an evil-extractor machine. While extracting from Gotham's most evil villains, an accident leaves District Attorney Harvey Dent (William Shatner) scarred in half. Despite a plastic surgery fix, he returns to work as an assistant to the ADA. Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) have to battle the new villain Two-Face.

This is most notable for all the voices from the 60's. Considering that Adam West died in the same year, this probably serves as one of the book-ends of Adam West's Batman. I wouldn't mind doing more campy comedy in this, but Two-Face's brutal look does not allow that easily. At the end of the day, it is nice to let a legend ride off into the sunset.

If your looking for what Batman has become since the 80's stop now. This is a movie in the style of the 60's Batman reprising most of not all of the cast of the 60's and many more famous names from then. The cartoon is done in the style from the show Archer with a bit of the goofy stupidity that is Archer ( the character not the show). If you want nostalgia with a modern twist you got it here

This film is the perfect way to cap off the career of Adam West. With the script by Michael Jelenic & James Tucker (inspired by a story by Harlan Ellison), and a supporting cast of Burt Ward, Julie Newmar & William Shatner as "Two-Face," there can be no better way to bid farewell to the Caped Crusader. At the film's end, comes this heartfelt goodbye: "Rest Well, Bright Knight." We'll never forget you, Adam. Godspeed.

The best part of this movie is that it works like a fantasy episode of the 1966 Batman series. When I saw the movie was going to be using that 66 style for the animation, I said to myself they had to use a well-known name to paly Two-Face and they did not let down: William Shatner. What makes this the best casting of all is that there is a multiverse out there in which William Shatner totally guest starred as Tw0-Face on a two-part episode of Batman 66. Man! Granted, we are talking full fan boy nostalgia here. Afterall, Star Trek, which was made at a different studio for a different network did not pop off from the jump like Batman did in 66, so other than being the guest star of a really cool episode of the twilight Zone, no one was thinking that anyone would want to see Shatner as the guest villain of the week.

Still, William Shatner as two-face made this sequel to Return of the Cape Crusaders, and of course an amazing final episode of Batman 66 is a fitting end to the great Adam West. Rest in Power Bright Knight.

Batman vs Two face Thankfully this film is not as bad as the other Adam West anime film DC vomited at us last year. Nope. In fact it was down right okay. Or maybe DC has set the bar so so soooo low that their lukewarm films are coming off as semi-watchable. Whatever the case I don't give a sh#t anymore because I haven't spent a penny on anything to come out of the DC camp in over a year. The idiots do not even realize how much money they are hemorrhaging because of their cash-grab/pump it out business model. At this rate it is not even worth going to a screening anymore. DC stuff have become wait-for-TV events at best.

Anyone old enough to remember the original 60's Batman TV series will love this. It's great that this movie mirrors the 60's show i.e. it has the old batmobile and even better the voices of Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar as Catwoman. Another former Catwoman Lee Meriwether also has a small part. William Shatner does an excellent job as Dent/Two face and the whole movie embraces the tongue in cheek wackiness of the original series. This must've been one of the last projects Adam West was involved in prior to his death. All I can say is that he went out on a high.

This is the second Adam West animated feature following Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders(2016). This animated feature shows In Loving Memory Of Adam West(1928-2017) at the end of the end-credits.

Adam West is the first actor to ever play the role of Batman in a live action TV series. Before Christian Bale, George Clooney, Val Kilmer, and Michael Keaton - Adam West played the original Batman during 1966-1968.

West acted along with fellow actors Burt Ward who played Robin, Cesar Romano as The Joker, Burgess Meredith as The Penguin, Frank Gorshin as The Riddler, Lee Meriwether as Catwoman(later played by Julie Newmar) and Alan Napier as Alfred Pennyworth Batman's personal butler and friend who keeps Batman's identity a secret along with Commissioner Gordon played by Neil Hamilton.

Plot: Batman and Robin are invited to a top-secret demonstration hosted by Professor Hugo Strange and his assistant Dr. Harleen Quinzel that may eventually change the future of Gotham forever. Along the way, Batman takes a stop at Gotham State Penitentiary to visit Catwoman (whose suicide attempt from the first movie somehow failed) to give her a book on poetry by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This is something to keep her occupied for the next 36 months of her life until she is let out of prison for good. At the laboratory, they meet district attorney and Bruce Wayne's ally in the war against crime Harvey Dent who is famous for having stopped a coin counterfeit while keeping a two faced quarter as a souvenir from the case.

Hugo Strange believes that good and evil are all but one-sided and has created an "Evil Extractor" to which the volunteering criminals Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Egghead, and Mr. Freeze, will be purified of their corruption. Batman bluffs it off, saying that there are no easy fixes to the straight and narrow path, but Strange conducts his experiment anyway, despite the fact that it will make the jobs of Batman, Robin and Harvey obsolete. All goes well until the Joker entices his compatriots to overload the machine....

Verdict: if you are fond of corny 60's style dialogue be my guest- my personal experience tells me after watching this one till the end, my brain turned into a jelly doughnut.

You want to watch better Batman animated movies? Have a look at these: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm(1993), The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest(1997), The Batman vs. Dracula(2005), Superman/Batman: Public Enemies(2009), Batman: Under the Red Hood(2010), Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1(2012), Batman Unlimited: Mechs vs. Mutants(2016).

Thanks for reading my review. Live a long and happy life and prosper.

This a good movie. See this movie. It has a great story line. It also has good acting. See it. It is a good movie. This is one the best action movies I have seen. See this movie. It is a great movie.

I cringed to death. I know it's supposed to be like the 60's Batman TV series but still I don't have the stomach for this kind of cheerful and talkative and "boy-scout" Batman. Won't suggest it to people who like the Dark Knight, not the Superman-ish Batman.

In the hearts of some, maybe even all, Batman fans, Adam West will always hold a cherished place. I remember as a kid tuning in to a few reruns of the series that had started just under two decades before I was born. For my money, Adam West will always be the best Batman. Despite the campiness around him, West's deadpan delivery was so perfect that he could convey his love for justice with a ridiculous eulogy for an "almost human porpoise" as much as Christian Bale could with an entire "It's not who I am under the mask" monologue.

Perhaps in direct response to that dark and gritty reboot, there's been renewed interest in the 60's series. The comic book series "Batman '66" imagines a continuation of the TV series that includes villains it never got around to, including psychedelic re-imaginings of characters that weren't even introduced until decades later. Last year's animated film "Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders" breathed new life into the concept by bringing in the voice talents of the West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar, with the rest of the familiar characters resurrected through loving imitations by modern impressionists. That movie not only was a pitch-perfect extension of the '66 series, but brilliant satirized just how much darker the portrayal of the "Dark Knight" has become ever since. Earlier this year, we lost our contrasting "Bright Knight" when Adam West passed away, but not before lending his voice to a sequel.

"Batman Vs. Two-Face" doesn't satirize like its predecessor, but fully embraces the original series' campiness, with one concession: the inclusion of a villain considered too dark and gritty for the series at the time. Acccording to legend, Clint Eastwood was all set to take on the role of Two-Face before studio execs thought he'd scare off young viewers and put the kibosh on it. In "Batman Vs. Two-Face", Professor Hugo Strange, another villain who never appeared on the TV series, is working on an "evil extractor" to rehabilitate Gotham's greatest criminals. He's aided by another now- popular villain, one not created until the early 90's, in a cameo role. Strange, naturally, is portrayed with an impersonation of the German mad scientist voice Peter Sellers perfected for "Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Unfortunately for Strange, his assistant, and Gotham City District Attorney Harvery Dent, Batman's greatest enemies have the ability to raise their evilness on command and, through their combined malevolent cackling, cause the devise to overload, splashing the D.A.'s face with the liquid manifestation of evil and transforming him physically and mentally into Two-Face.

The opening credits montage shows Batman and Robin waging war on Two-Face as if he were just another villain on the bi-weekly roster of the series. When we return to the film proper, Bruce Wayne has found a way to restore Dent's face as well as his law career. But when King Tut and Book Worm, two villains who existed solely in the universe of the TV series, pull off heists with all of the trademarks of Two-Face's plots, Batman and Robin have to try to figure out how Two-Face can co-exist with the seemingly cured Harvey. It's a mystery with a simple solution, but the movie's not about detective work: it's about revisiting a Gotham where the swinging 60's never ended, and where the police force exists only to toggle the Bat Signal on and off, because they wouldn't know how to bring a jaywalker to justice without the intervention of the Dynamic Duo.

Sorry, Clint, but William Shatner should have always been the first choice for Two-Face. Not only was he a familiar face on TV screens of that era, but no one else shared Adam West's love for the dramatic pause the way he does. He makes the menacing villain gel well with the campy universe, his distinctive cadence fits the squeaky-clean prosecutor, while he adds just a little bit of a growl to portray the darker aspects of the character. And there will never, ever be another Adam West. Only he could make a visit to the window of Catwoman's prison cell to share a kiss, read some poetry, and remind her how many months are left until her debt to society is paid seem so endearing.

Youthful ward Dick Grayson's maternal aunt gets giddy at how intimate Bruce and Dick seem, winking and nudging at rumors about the relationship that have persisted since the 60's, but she also gets giddy seeing Bruce and Harvey together, at one point all but pressing their faces together and telling them to start making out. Taking from other popular adaptations of the Two-Face character, Bruce and Harvey are portrayed as being old friends, in spite of the fact that the D.A. never even got a namedrop in the original series. It makes for a sort of love triangle between Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent, and Dick Grayson, and pays off with a sweet little moment of Batman declaring just how rock solid his relationship with the Boy Wonder is.

Always leave 'em wanting more. It's sad for me to think of what might have been. If only someone had the brilliant idea of bringing Adam West and Burt Ward in to revisit the classic series in animated form earlier, we may have been able to witness the two squaring off against Poison Ivy or Scarecrow or Harley Quinn. But, as it is, this is as good of a sendoff as our Bright Knight could ever have asked for.

Im sorry but no disrespect to Adam West and everyone else involved in the making of this particular movie, it sucked. It wasnt as good as Return of The Caped Crusaders, the story with Two Face was bland, way too cheesy and lacked any substance. Now I get it, this universe of Batman isnt dark and gritty, its more humor and lighthearted. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that at all

However, although Return of the Caped Crusaders was also cheesy and silly, it still had a better story overall that made the movie interesting and fun from start to finish. Batman vs. Two Face? It felt like it was thrown together at the last minute with little to no susbtance

What I did like about this film is it featured both Hugo Strange and Harley Quinn both whom I never thought in a million years versions of those characters would appear in this universe. That really surprised me and I liked it. Would have liked to have seen more of them especially Harley. I loved when it came to Two Face's disfigurement it eventually over took his undamaged side with him saying the scars on the outside is nothing compared to the scars on the insider where Two Face completely overtook Harvey

With that said the character of Harvey Dent and Two Face isnt like ones you have been used to seeing over the years. Yes, still starts out as Bruce's friends. But he just becomes Two Face in the most cheesiest way and probably best not to have included him at all. But whatever. William Shatner did a pretty great job as Harvey and Two Face.

In Loving Memory of Adam West (1928-2017) Rest well, Bright Knight

R. I. P Adam West; released four months after his passing. Set in the 1960s Batman TV series continuity and a sequel to Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Another flawed and lackluster entry without any flair or charisma.
