A cheese filled nostalgia trip
For better or for worse... The 1960s Batman tv show exists, and it will always be part of our comic book culture.

This recent animated film takes everything from that original show, and runs with it with unrelenting pride...and it's pretty damn entertaining.

Just the fact that Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar all returned for this animated adventure is absolutely fantastic, and it really plays out well.
The absolute absurdity of the 60s show lends itself well to cartoon form.
The movie is filled with silly one liners, ridiculous Bat-Gadgets, and enough charm to make even the most serious Batman fans step back and enjoy.

The only reason I didn't score this higher is purely because some of the more recent DC animated movies such as The Dark Knight Returns are genuinely fantastic, whereas a lot of this movies qualities rely on the viewer understanding and respecting the silliness of the source material. I for one am happy that this exists.

The credit sequence involves a dance off between Batman and Catwoman. Do you really need another reason to check it out!?

Holy fluff balls!!

This is awesome!! I thought the book was going to end at the halfway point, it would have been easy to do.......I'm so glad that it didn't. The depth and details that were included really made the story. The layers giving an insight into a narcissistic mind of a selfish killer were spot on, they really helped to cement the dislike of that particular character.
    My theories were good with some bits but I was still caught if guard with some details.
    Shelby is sweet, strong, a little sassy and an ex-con who found Jesus in the darkest of times. Her faith doesn't falter regardless of the difficulties that she faces.
    Faith is prevalent throughout, it's not preachy but it is a strong theme and it suits the storyline perfectly.
    Everything is pulled together nicely, I had a few moments where tears were shed and my heart ached for Shelby.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone picks up on this and makes it a film as It would be amazing!

Trace of Doubt is a thrilling adult read worthy of a good dose of me time, a glass of wine and chocolate.

With Marvel already dominating the superhero movie market, Wonder Woman steps up to the plate and knocks it out the park in DC’s new movie that takes us further towards The Justice League.

So a few years ago we had Man of Steel, which had mixed reviews and was a movie that had an extremely long and all out good vs evil battle with Superman vs General Zod over Metropolis!

Then came Batman V Superman, a movie that I personally was hoping would be a version of my favourite Batman comic book, The Dark Knight Returns, sadly this was not to be and although the extended cut is a better version the film was another in the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) that had mixed reviews and a rather long good vs evil battle, it did introduce us to Wonder Woman.

Following on was the next in the franchise, Suicide Squad, again this was another movie that didn’t really go down well with movie fans, which also had a good vs evil fight at the end (I see a pattern) it certainly looked like DC had hit three strikes! So all hope rested on Wonder Woman.
