Batman 1943 movie serial, starring Lewis Wilson, Douglas Croft

Review

In many ways, Batman is an interesting, but unremarkable, movie serial from the 1940’s. It’s noteworthy for being the very first Batman movie. Batman/Bruce Wayne and Robin/Dick Grayson are government agents, fighting against Japanese saboteurs.

Batman season 1. Like a lot of people growing up in the 1960’s, I grew up with the love action Batman series. And, fell in love with the actors, both heroes and villains. It was only years later that I realized they had careers outside the Dynamic Duo! Here’s the first season’s episodes – enjoy!
