Batman and Robin (serial)


Batman and Robin sometimes called The New Adventures of Batman and Robin is a 15chapter serial released in 1949 by Columbia Pictures. It is a sequel to the 1943 serial Batman, although with different actors. Robert Lowery played Batman, while Johnny Duncan played Robin. Supporting players included Jane Adams as Vicki Vale and veteran character actor Lyle Talbot as Commissioner Gordon.

The Dynamic Duo face off against the Wizard, a hooded villain with an electrical device which controls cars and a desire to set challenges for the Dynamic Duo, whose identity remains a mystery throughout until the end.As usual on a Katzman production, note Harmon and Glut, the low budget showed everywhere in moneysaving shortcuts, and inadequacies. The Batman costume had a poorly fitting cowl and the Robin costume added pink tights to cover the hairy legs of both the actor and the stuntman. The Batmobile is again excluded, but instead of a limousine as in the first serial, the duo drive around in a 1949 Mercury. ........
