An animated cartoon set in the world of the 1960’s live-action Batman series, Batman vs. Two-Face keeps the campy comedy going strong. Bruce Wayne’s old friend Harvey Dent is turned into the villainous Two-Face in a lab experiment. But he’s later cured … Isn’t he?
Batman vs. Two-Face (2017) starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Julie Newmar, William Shatner
For any fan of the 1960’s Batman live action series, Batman vs. Two-Face is a delight. It’s funny, mixed with moments of serious action. Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar all provide the voices for their various roles, and it’s wonderful. I love the scene of the “date night” between Batman and Catwoman, as he’s hanging outside her prison cell. And the great William Shatner does an excellent job as the voice of Harvey Dent/Two Face as well.
Highlights
- Chief O’Hara’s “duel” with King Tut in the interrogation room! Tut’s alter ego has no memory of Tut’s activities, so he hits himself on the head to switch personalities. That way, he can’t talk. So O’Hara hits him again! This happens multiple times, to hilarious effect.
- When Catwoman is breaking out of prison, she forces Lucilee Diamond (Lee Meriwether) to switch clothes with her. And Lee admires herself in the mirror, in the Catwoman suit. A shout-out to Lee playing Catwoman in Batman – The Movie.
- After the credits, the film is dedicated to the memory of Adam West, the Bright Knight. Truly touching.
