    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.

    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

    Legends of the Superheros now has a DVD! It contains both episodes and a trailer-style preview.In the first episode the heroes get a random message from the "Riddler" explaining that they have "50" minutes to answer all the riddles ahead of them. The Villains have a dooms day device that has a "60" minute timer that is soon to go off. "Solomon Grundy" gets a hat that can hide who he is and unleashes the first sinister plot as a gas station attendant! Oh, my! He tricks Batman and Robin, The Black Canary, and a few others. He has them tied up in the back! At the same time "Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana" has a power removing chemical that he tricks the heroes into drinking, but the plan back fires when "Solomon Grundy" gives the villains some of the chemical also...Anyways! Watch the new "Legends of the Superheroes" Special Edition DVD! I'd have to say this is the best comic superheroes joke movie ever made! and now that its digitally re-mastered its even better!

    Of all the unintentionally funny things I've seen in my time, this is the only one I would actually consider to be a profound experience. This is one of the most awful things I have ever seen, and that's a compliment.SPOILERS! Skip to the last paragraph to avoid reading about the best bad moments. Key details revealed here:The first episode, the Challenge has Captain Marvel being fooled into thinking he needs to see a shrink; he's not suspicious with a psychiatrist office appears out of nowhere. The Flash runs, stands still in front of picnickers for no reason, then runs again. Everyone visits the same gas station when a woman on the phone provides commentary. A ray removes everyone's powers and even seems to affect non-powered heroes.The second episode is (I'm not kidding) a Roast hosted by Ed McMahon; both he and the villains seem to have full access to the heroes' headquarters so they can roast the heroes. Highlight is Legion of Super-Heroes foe Mordru performing "That's Entertainment", though Batman and Robin getting into a shtick about a broken Batmobile is another classic bad moment.Somewhere in both episodes is some idiot named Retired Man.So bad, but in a funny way, that it sets the standard that every incompetently done TV show or movie should aspire to.
