BATMAN AND ROBIN 1949 (COLUMBIA)

This is the second movie serial featuring the dynamic duo.

Batman (Robert Lowery) and Robin (John Duncan) are trying to stop the mysterious villian known as "The Wizard" from controlling the world.

The Wizard has stolen a Remote Control Device that can control traffic up to 50 miles away. The creator of this device is Prof. Hammil (William Fawcett) and he is very anti-social.

This Columbia serial has the usual amounts of action and adventure. Each of the 15 chapters moves us closer to finding out who the Wizard really is and it moves along at a great clip.

Lowery makes a very good Bruce Wayne/Batman character and Duncan plays off him very well for Robin. I recommend this for serial buffs.

The rest of the cast includes Lyle Talbot, Jane Adams, Ralph Graves, Don C. Harvey, Michael Whalen, Rick Vallin and Leonard Penn. I know this is kind of vague, but I really don't want to spoil your viewing of this if you watch it for the first time.

Just take my word for it, you won't be disappointed.
