Summary: Highly recommend......
Comment: I bought this a bit hesitantly, I wouldn't classify myself as a diehard Batman fan, but this was a very enjoyable DVD. Absolutly fun to watch, especially if you like black and white. Something you can let the kids watch, and the adults will like as well!

Summary: Batman and Robin- The Complete 1949 Movie Serial Collection......
Comment: Directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet, Batman and Robin stars: Robert Lowery, Johnny Duncan, Lyle Talbot, Jane Adams, and Ralph Graves. In this movie serial collection, Batman and Robin face off against The Wizard(a hooded villain whose identity remains a mystery until the end) and his gang of evil hoodlums. While this serial was made on a much lower budget than the first serial, this serial is regarded as the better of the two in terms of acting, plot devices, action and whatnot.
I must admit, I got this DVD Collection the same time I got the 1943 Serial Collection so I'm just getting around to finishing it now. I love it and am really glad I added it to my collection. Would I recommend it to other Batman fans out there? Most certainly...if only for nostalgia sake and nothing else. True, it's hard to get past a thirty-year old man playing The Boy Wonder when he is supposed to be a young boy among other little flaws but it is a great serial, nonetheless.
Now, if we could just get the powers to be out there to release the 60s television show in a DVD Collection...I'd be a happy camper. I've got, practically, every last live-action/animated version of Batman there is out there and that would top it.

Summary: "To the filing cabinet, Robin!"
Comment: This matinee cliff-hanger series is hilarious, even if unintentionally. When the Bat-signal lights up the sky, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson run down to the Batcave and open a three-drawer filing cabinet and remove their carefully folded costumes. When they need to change on the road, Bruce simply puts the top on the convertible and Robing hops over into the back seat to change. They don't seem to worry about driving the same car in both their civilian and super-hero identities, nor do they worry too much about pulling up outside Wayne Manor (a quite modest suburban house) and running up the driveway in their capes.
Great fun for Batman fans who want to see how far he has come over the years.

Summary: Batman and Robin: the complete 1949 movie serial
Comment: This was purchased just because it is Batman (big fan). The quality of the product (DVDs) is very good. As for the series it self, it is good for a 1949 TV series. I am not disappointed.

Summary: Saturday Matinee all over again
Comment: To all the naysayers out there who review this 2 dvd set before, here's something for you.
1. This was done in 1949 and Columbia had a hit with children back in 1943 when they released the Batman.
2. At this time, only one depiction of the serial was done by Columbia. No other format was done at the time except with guest appearances on the radio
of Superman.
3. Limited budget (about the price of an Television show episode of today) and serials were made for children not whining adults who didn't know what a
chapter serial was unless their parents told them about it.
4. A chapter a week so you could come back next week for the next installment.
