Hit: 4 Stars
This curiosity piece, released by the wonderful Varese Sarabande label in 1997 to coincide with the awful "Batman and Robin" movie and the reasonably good "The New Batman/Superman Adventures" TV series, compiled most of the novelty songs recorded around the time of the classically campy "Batman" series from the mid-to-late-sixties. This CD includes songs recorded by cast members during and after the run of the show, novelties and parodies recorded about Batman, and alternate versions of Neal Hefti's legendary theme. While most of the songs are admittedly not great at all, the best have a great level of enjoyable campiness, and curiously enough, the album proves to stand up after repeated listens, despite its seemingly "novelty" aspect. The best track is, of course, Adam West's "Miranda", which not only proves that West can sing better than William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, but manages to be a great and hilarious song in and of itself (I wonder whom Boy Genius is?). This isn't the sort of release that merits a long review, but I can say, if you're a fan of the '60s TV show and the classic 1966 movie, and you find this CD used for cheap, pick it up. It's missing a few classics (most notably Burt Ward and Frank Zappa's "Boy Wonder, I Love You"), but for the Bat-fans (God, that sounds stupid), it is an essential release.
