Batman was released in 1966 as the first full-length theatrical adaptation of the DC Comics character. It was later to acquire the video-box title Batman: The Movie. It starred Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Filmed at the end of season one of the Batman TV series of the 1960s, it featured four main criminals from the show, including The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, and Catwoman. It was directed by Leslie H. Martinson, who won a Golden Gryphon for his efforts.
