ltfripp Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 You're probably thinking of An Evening with Batman and Robin, which was a serial film from 1943. Really, I think serial films have more in common with a TV show or TV miniseries than a typical theatrical film, except, because they predated TV, all the parts WERE shown theatrically. So, not a movie like you're probably thinking of, but that's the only thing I can think of to which you could be referring. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035665/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastooge Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 There were two, both Columbia serials... BATMAN (1943) BATMAN AND ROBIN (1949) Both were released on VHS by GoodTimes in the early '90s. The 1949 serial was released on VHS by Columbia TriStar Home Video a few years ago, around the same time as Warners' fourth Batman feature. GoodTimes' release of the 1943 serial was edited. The villain was a Japanese spy/scientific genius (played by J. Carrol Naish). Overt anti-Japanese dialogue was eliminated by some clipped segments, and occassional audio dropouts.
