What is Batman / Flash Gordon about?

BATMAN, 1966, 20th Century Fox, 105 min. Dir. Leslie Martinson. The "Batman" TV show spawned this feature-length opus, bringing to the big screen more tongue-in-cheek antics from Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) as they battle a villainous alliance of the Penguin (Burgess Meredith), the Joker (Cesar Romero), the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) and the Catwoman (Lee Meriwether). FLASH GORDON, 1980, Universal, 111 min. Dir. Mike Hodges. This adaptation of Alex Raymond’s comic strip has just the right balance of action, tongue-in-cheek humor and mindblowing production design, with a score by none other than Queen! Relative unknowns Sam J. Jones and Melody Anderson play Flash and Dale, but the supporting cast is full of heavyweights, including Max von Sydow, Topol and Timothy Dalton.
