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 animated return to the 1960s Batman series is packed with jokes, gadgets and theatrical villains. The fighting remains light and comic, while Catwoman's repeated flirting is similarly playful. Most children aged 8 and over should manage it, although loud moments may startle younger viewers.

Uplifting themes

Batman and Robin remain committed to helping Gotham and making responsible choices 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?
