Batman: The Movie (1966) - Bat Charges!

Another scene from Batman: The Movie (1966) where Batman and Robin (Adam West & Burt Ward) head out to sea in their Batboat to rescue the dehydrated United Nations Security Council from the villains The Joker, Penguin, Ridder and Catwoman (Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin & Lee Meriwether). There Robin uses the Batboat’s special sonic charge weapon the ‘Bat Charges’ to disable The Penguin’s submarine.

2:08 The way how Joker ordered the crew was PRICELESS, he sure was PANICKING! XD

This scene is absolutely dynamic. The score is swashbuckling and the villains getting their butts kicked is too satisfying

2:12 - "Now hear this! Now hear this! Blow all tanks! SURFACE! SURFACE!" - The Joker

One of the best scenes of the movie. It is so funny to see The Joker giving the order to surface. It was so him. 😂🤣😂🤣

*"Now hear this! Now hear this! Blow all tanks! Surface! Surface!"* -The Joker 😂

[CLD-ruoo]

“NOW HEAR THIS!! NOW HEAR THIS!! BLOW ALL TANKS!! SURFACE!! SURFACE!!” And the look on his face as the panel started spitting sparks 😆 😆

Love the refitting Penguin gave that old surplus pre-atomic submarine he purchased from the Navy. And equipped with Polaris missiles for Riddler to use as skywriters. As Biff Tannen said,
"Great flick, great frickin flick!"

It's funny how you almost feel for the villains in this scene, even though you're rooting for the Duo at the same time. They are just loveable enough that you can appreciate the peril they are experiencing, especially when Catwoman screams for them to "DO SOMETHING!!", and Joker bellows for the submarine to _"SURFACE!! SURFACE!!"_

I love the jolt Burt does with every shot. He really sells it. This is such a great guilty fun fest!

[Captain_cannon]

“Now hear this now hear this blow all tanks surface surface”

Run Silent

Run Deep 🐧

Love that line

0:35 - The Joker's face is like " What's going on now and what do we do? "

THE BAT CHARGES MADE THE VILLANS SURFACE !

[AwryFirefly]

honestly i thought it was sweet when they had to grip the pole to stay steady, joker had his arm around catwoman and penguin was low-key holding riddler 🥺💖

[johnfeer]

Good Old Cesar Romero, a Pro to The Last, I love how he starts jumping up and down when he starts shrieking "Surface! Surface!". I swear he had no idea the pyrotechnics were gonna ignite that close to him, but he never broke character. Villainy is a dire place when The Joker is only sensible person in the room.

When I was 6 year old, in 1966, My Dad took the family to the New York National boat show at the NY Collosseum at Columbus Circle and the Bat Boat was on display.
Every kid, including me, lined up just to get a glimpse of it.

Later on in life, I discovered it was just a 17 ft factory made Glasstron with all kinds of fake gadgets and modifications made.
But for that one February night in 1966 I believed it was Batmans boat.

The vials exeraggeratively flopping back and forth on the edge of the table is my favourite gag

[pleasedontfeedtheai]

Love it, so classic and comforting on TV today!

[haydendraycott]

This is one of those sequences that you feel almost goes on for two long yet if it were shortened it wouldn't be nearly as fun or satisfying to watch, lol

You know, it just reminded me. How the hell does penguin know exactly what they’re using? Like how does he know they’re called bat charges?
