What makes it different from others?

Such a frustrating disappointment

A Disappointing Continuation

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Australia calling. I never knew this even existed until just hours ago when, by chance, I bumped into on YouTube. Amazing! When I saw Batman and Robin talking like the 1960s B&R my jaw hit the ground! How could this have been made without anybody ever talking about it over the last three decades? A live action Adam West/Burt Ward Batman show in 1979!I have read so many things about Batman/Adam West, I have seen a few television shows on Adam West, but no mention of this?? This is eleven years after Batman (1966-68) ended but Adam and Burt look just great! And they are sometimes with my other caped friend Captain Marvel which makes it even better! You can say what you like about the bad jokes, and I admit the non-Batman parts of this show are mostly unwatchable, but hey, when B&R are present the whole thing is well worth watching...and I want it on DVD.

Now "Legends Of The Superheroes" is broken down into two episodes, "The Challenge" and "The Roast". Here's a breakdown of why neither should be missed by any DC Comics fan.For "The Challenge": Not only do we get a reunion of Adam West, Burt Ward, and Frank Gorshwin from the 1960s Batman TV series and feature film, but we get a multitude of heroes and villains making their live action debuts! The Huntress wouldn't see another live action portrayal until the 2003 series "Birds Of Prey" and unfortunately she is quite underused just like the Flash is, of whom eventually got his own live action TV show in the 1990s.The super villain roll call in itself is worth the watch, just to see every villain try out their powers on Gorshwin's Riddler while he attempts to conduct the roll call! The actor who portrays Solomon Grundy is perfect for the role, and his best performance is in "The Roast" where he single fistedly makes Ed McMahon sorry for ever hosting the show! In possibly one of his finest performances Frank Gorshwin pretends to be a psychiatrist for Captain Marvel, and gives an incredibly fine example of multiple personality disorder from an actor's...and an arch-villain's perspective! Then the actor who plays Sinestro is a hoot disguised as a gypsy, and the ring fight between Green Lantern and his traitorous nemesis (for the first time ever in live action spectacle!) is not to be missed, even if the special effects aren't much more than green and yellow laser beams (what'd you expect, it was only two years after "Star Wars", geesh! No constructs for those who love seeing things built out of green energy.). The actor who plays Dr. Silvana, the super nemesis of Captain Marvel, is hilarious as heck when he opens up a lemonade stand with lemonade mixed with a potion that takes away super powers! Seriously, the villains really steal the shows from the heroes! For "The Roast": The actor who plays the Weather Wizard has great comedic timing, but you may not know what weather conditions he was referring to, if you weren't around or were too young to remember weather prior to 1979. Again the actor who plays Dr. Silvana is an utter show stopper, and puts in a fine performance that's highly enjoyable. The Atom makes an appearance, and Frank Gorshwin is absent this time around. Batman and Robin's role is highly diminished, except for when Robin plays charades with Batman trying to explain that he totaled the Batmobile while trying to park it! The humor tends to be a bit more adult, but it's not like today's entertainment...this is still child friendly. Then we get a song and dance number from DC's evil wizard Mordru who does a super villainous rendition of "My Favorite Things/That's What I Call Entertainment"! These are definitely a must see if you get the chance, they are hilarious, and may even appeal to those who love "so bad they're good" films! Sincerely, Exchronos

When I was 11 I remember seeing this TV movie and for many years later I asked people my same age who had my same interest if they ever saw it. For awhile, I thought I dreamed that I saw this TV movie. Everyone either said they never heard of it or that it was a cartoon. I told them I cannot believe that I am the only one in the world who has seen this.When I was young I would watch any superhero show or movie. This was a great TV movie of its time. It was entertaining and it had lots of villain's and heroes. One of my favorite heroes was Green Lantern in this TV movie.If you ever get the chance to see this movie, I highly recommend it.Thanks, Stacey

I saw both episodes, the normal episode and the roast, on a tape you can buy at many large comic conventions (so to everyone who wants a copy, that's how you can find one).These things were flat out funny. They appeal to both the lifelong comics-lover and the person whose only experience with comics were the Batman movies.The acting ranged from horrible (Charlie Callas) to the mediocre (Jeff Altman) to the great (William Schallert, Garrett Craig). The jokes were great.Together, these are two very entertaining hours you won't forget. The tape should only cost around $20, and I highly recommend it!
