The Caped Crusader and his trusty sidekick Robin face zombie slaves, alligator pits, rooms with spiked walls and acid baths in this fast-paced fifteen part serial.
To tie in with our Comic-Book Movies season, we present this classic cliffhanging serial in its entirety. Making their screen debuts in a fast-paced fifteen-parter, the Caped Crusader and trusty sidekick Robin face such obstacles as zombie slaves, alligator pits, rooms with spiked walls and acid baths, not to mention a punch-up in every episode, as they do their patriotic bit by saving the USA from the dastardly scheming of a Japanese master criminal (cue some wartime racial stereotyping) and his death-dealing radium gun.
