Animated World of DC Comics: Batman vs. Two-Face (2017)

 In 1964, Adam West (ex-The Detectives) and William Shatner (ex-For The People) filmed a pilot for Alexander The Great, which ABC was producing through their in-house production company, Selmur Productions. However, the final product wasn't satisfactory in the eyes of network suits, and it wasn't until four years later, after Batman had ended its run, and Star Trek was nearing the end of its 2nd season, before Alexander aired.

Nearly 50 years later, West & Shatner were together again, this time in "Batman vs. Two-Face", the sequel to "Batman: Return of The Caped Crusaders", and, unbeknonst to either actor, it would be West's last role, as he passed away prior to the film's release.

Writer-producers James Tucker & Michael Jelenic decided that the traditional origin of Two-Face, his split personality emerging after he'd been scarred with acid, wasn't tragic or dramatic enough for a 21st century audience. Instead, you add Professor Hugo Strange, conducting an experiment at Gotham City Prison, in which he intended to extract the "essential evil" from the villains in prison (i.e. Joker, Penguin). I think you'll get the idea from the following trailer:

Wally Wingert does a good job impersonating the late Frank Gorshin as Riddler, and you get two Catwomen for the price of one. Not only does Julie Newmar return from the last film, but Lee Meriweather, who filled in for Newmar in the 1966 "Batman" movie, appears briefly as a public defender who ends up wearing a familiar outfit in her final scene. Steven Weber (ex-Wings, iZombie) is heard as Alfred once again.

It's the kind of fun you had when you were a kid, or as an adult watching the reruns.

Rating: A-.
