I got my DVD a couple of days ago, and had a chance to sit down and watch it last night. It's pretty good. William Shatner is great as Harvey Dent/Two-Face. I'm glad Adam West gave the fans this last role as Batman before his passing.

^Watched it last night, and really enjoyed it. I don't think it quite nailed the tone of the show like the first one, but that was intentional. The producers said they wanted to go with the straighter vibe of the earliest episodes, and they captured that. Took some twists and turns I didn't expect, and actually did some original things with Two-Face. Nice to see some of the made-for-TV villains get the spotlight too.

The tribute to Adam at the end choked me up.

the tribute choked me up as well. I really liked this one much more than Return of the Caped Crusaders. that one seemed forced to me. this one was just natural. introduced new elements while bringing in classic ones too. I give it two thumbs up

I was a little disappointed with the sheer goofiness of the first one, and I've said for a long time that the first half of the first season is sheer genius for the way it balances the action-adventure with farce and absurdity so deftly, so if this one's more like that, I'm totally there.

Ahhh . . . I get a little choked up over how last spring, in the school PTO fundraiser play I wrote, I worked in a batrope-climb scene and I'm glad I got to do it while Adam West was still here in the world. An actual tribute might be too much for me . . .

Yeah early episodes like Instant Freeze and Helda the Great are played seriously for the most part.
Yeah, I got a little choked up myself at the tribute at the end. Thanks for doing that for us Bat-fans Adam. Rest well "Bright Knight".

Purchased today, enjoyed it a lot--more that the first, as others have said. Thrilled to see/hear Lee Meriwhether (my favorite Catwoman) and quite pleased at the inclusion of Tut and Bookworm.
I thought Shatner did a terrific job with Two-Face, and the West tribute was lovely.
