11 October 2016
This was an excellent homage to the Batman many of us grew up with. Before DC went dark in the 80's, there was a period where heroes cared about saving others and not killing. Heroes smiled and reminded us of a better day where we aspired to be greater than what we are. Heroes were someone who did what was right and were not dark and brooding.

The Return of the Caped Crusaders takes us back to that time. We have the GREAT Adam West and the Great Burt Ward reprising their roles. It's fun and good natured entertainment that has some thinking involved where you must solve puzzles or at least try.You get some great cheesy lines such as,"Time to use my trusty Batzooka," and "Holy Salisbury Steak."

This is well written and well animated. The voices while a little older, are well represented. The movie is the Caped Crusaders versus their classic villains. There are plot twists and turns and when you think it is over, it takes you on another ride. If you LOVED the Lego Batman movies, this is up your alley. If you are a fan of comics before they became FAKE NERD TRENDY, this is something that will make you smile. Seeing both West and Ward fight their most famous and classic foes again in a well done animated movie is a treat.

The movie has Easter eggs and other nods to various Batman incarnations and even pokes fun at times. It is smartly written and a real treat. I cannot praise this enough. We get everything; dancing, love, desire, tragedy and even a showdown that cannot and should not be missed between the Dark, I mean Bright Knight versus the Boy Wonder.

I give this a 9.5 out of 10. Close to perfect as can be. Very well done, cheesy and fun.
