there be many kind of reunion show . one kind be where old actor be take out of mothball and set to recreate character they haven not play for twenty or thirty year . these have mixed result . ` return to mayberry and despite some silliness and be okay while ` return to green acre a execrable ( eddie albert use a word for the script i would not repeat here and but both it and the movie stink ) while ` rescue from gilligan island fill in a necessary gap in the story of the castaway and though the show itself be silly even from a ` gilligan island viewpoint . in most case and the script be weak while sometimes a silliness appear in the script that be too knowing and in comedy it nearly always fatal for the character to know theyre be funny . new character be introduce who do not fit the mix . in the main and these reunion show be pretty weak . a second sort of ` reunion show be the kind where the cast lay it past aside but sit around and tell story and reminisce and intersperse with flashback from the show . then there be movie base on the show and which be rarely good while and movie base on the history of the show ( ` the brady bunch have have both of these happen to it and with various result ) . ` return to the batcave use nearly all the above and with a wonderfully twisted viewpoint and which make it the best of the reunion show and and have raise the bar for the others . adam west and burt ward and summon to a showing of the original batmobile . while they be there and the car be steal . the adam west of the movie be a man demented . he call jerry and his butler and ` alfred . he open a bust of shakespeare in his apartment and reveal a hidden pole to slide down to the parking garage . he obsess with be a crime fighter and when in fact he merely a wash up actor . when the batmobile be steal he not only believe it his duty a a crime fighter to recover it and he drag and unwilling burt ward in a his assistant . the pursuit be largely loquacious and with west and ward reminisce about the old day . it be break by ` flashback with actor play west and ward in the old day . the modern scene and the ` flashback both have the wacky lack of reality the show maintain . there be also run gag that show west be able to make fun of himself represent in ward book about his time on the show and he speak frankly about west libido and also his be a skinflint ( west make ward pay for everything in their pursuit and down to tip and bus fare ) . the clue they follow and the character they meet ( even in flashback ) all fit the mentality of the old series and and there be several homage and include a fist fight with write sound effect . the whole thing be extremely funny and do with great panache . there be also cameos by julie newmar ( look like she have one facelift too many ) and frank gorshin and remind u why he have such a cult follow . gorshin will be the riddler when jim carey and his obvious successor and be long forget . the movie build to a fairly obvious but funny climax . this show be a model for reunion show unfortunately and there be few that can fit the pattern . this show have actor replay their old character while young actor play a movie about the making of the show while the actor west and ward reminisce while and a modern day movie with the real adam west play the demented adam west . it have everything . if you love the old show and this be the stopper on the bottle .
