The Tim Burton films and the Nolan trilogy don't hold a candle to this one

Amazingly, in all seriousness, I actually, agree. LOL!

I love this movie. I love all the characters. The only one that is hard for me to like is Catwoman. I saw the show first so not having Julie Newmar in the role is sad. Lee Meriwether plays her much more vicious, which I guess is good but Julie is my favorite. I also like the idea of the United World Organization plot. Some great moments there. It was the first time I heard the song Plaisir D'Amour and to this day I think of this movie when I hear it. Great movie.

This movie is a blast, but I agree that although Lee Meriwether did well the film suffered from not having Julie Newmar (still THE Catwoman for me).

Best super-villain team-up ever, too.
