HOLY CHEESE!

Not entirely sure why the critics were so mean to “Return to the Batcave,” the nominal Batman reunion movie that aired the other night on CBS. It didn’t exactly set a new standard for TV films, and the direction was painfully sluggish, but overall it was a harmless, even entertaining diversion of two hours. The consistent lack of use of a stuntman for Burt Ward was hilarious, and they certainly did a nice job of replicating the costumes, sets, etc., of the old series.

Too bad they didn’t re-enact the publicity moment in which Robin the Boy Wonder shook hands on the back lot with Will Robinson. They could’ve put Seth Mumy into a “Lost in Space” outfit.
