Why our age differs

Official is PG. We say 8+ because the fights are comic but still punches and traps. Catwoman's flirting is silly, not a sex film

Our take

This is the old TV Batman as a cartoon, full of jokes, gadgets, and villains who talk too much. Fights stay silly. Catwoman keeps asking for kisses. Fine for most kids 8 and up who already like this campy style. Very little kids may still jump at the loud bits

Uplifting themes

The pair keep helping the city and try to do the decent thing Batman and Robin stay polite, loyal, and ready to help

Story (may spoil tone)

Adam West and Burt Ward returns to their iconic roles of Batman and Robin. The film sees the superheroes going up against classic villains like The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and Catwoman, both in Gotham City… and in space.

Talk after watching

  • This Batman jokes through danger. Would that work in real life?
  • Villains keep asking for kisses. How do you say no and still be kind?
