About this product

Product Information

The original Batman serial from the early 1940s follows the development ofCaped Crusader during his early days, as he fights to find his place in society. This extends to both his capacity as billionaire corporate head in charge of his father's company, as well as the vigilante savior to Gotham City. Bruce Wayne (Lewis Wilson) and his trusty sidekick Robin (Douglas Croft) set out to do battle against the nefarious plots of Dr. Tito Daka (J. Carrol Naish), but Daka's reach is greater than the pair of crime fighters imagined. His radium-powered death ray can demolish anything in its path, and he has an army of electronic zombies to carry out his bidding. Dr. Daka's position as a former Japanese wartime espionage agent gave rise to what some call racism in these shows, but these plot conceits are reflective of the cultural fears of the time.

Fascinating vintage superhero tale.
I ordered this serial, which I believe was the first film treatment of a comic book character, because it was one I remembered from my youth. Every Saturday, I NEEDED to get to the Saturday matinee so I wouldn't miss how Batman escaped the latest cliffhanger. Despite the 75 years that have elapsed since this was made, it is still highly entertaining. It is also a time capsule of WW2 era anti-Japanese feeling, which means it is politically incorrect but an unfiltered contemporary primary source on American war propaganda. I think you might enjoy it regardless of your age, sex, or ethnicity.

The first of the many Batmans. Good attempt.
This is a good first attempt at the legend of the Dark Knight. It however, lacks sufficient excitement and skill at filmmaking, to compete with modern flicks. This is a serial of its time, it moves fast, it tries within the confines of its time, to make a good serial. But it is just that, an average to okay serial. It has our masked hero, a bit chubby, running around in a Buick instead of a Batmobile. Exciting for anyone under 12, for the rest of us, it is just okay, considering its time. It also has racist touches, informing us of the 'japs' and their sneaky ways. This was made in 1943, in the middle of war fever, so these things speak of its time. Unfortunately, not above average, but in par with Capt. Marvel, and other serials of its era.

My quest to "See How Batman Really Began" complete!
When I was a young boy I remember buying, or probably asking to have bought, a cheaply priced Batman VHS out of some store long forgotten. Oh man did I love it! It was Batman 1943 Vol. 1. It had perhaps the first 7 or 8 out of the 15 complete Batman episodes. I always regretted the fact it came out of a bargain movie rack somewhere because it meant I couldn't find the rest of the series to see how it all ended. Now I have it again and I get to see it with more adult eyes and I have to say, I STILL love it. I was in a Batman phase back then and, for various reasons, I've sort of returned to it as of late. Finding this here on Ebay was a dream come true. Finally, I get to see it all over again AND the ending! And I was not dissapointed... Batman 1943 is, unsurprisingly, in complete black-n-white. Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft reflect the comic book heros of the day and age as a smiling, non-brooding playboy Bruce Wayne and his ward Dick Grayson, respectively. As Batman and Robin they aren't as "dark" or driven by the deaths of their respective parents and the evil they fight each day such as the more modern Batman (more "Caped Crusader" than "Dark Knight" you could say). They have no Batmobile, just a fancy car. Alfred is sort of the comedy-relief in that he's the jittery type that helps out some but usually gets knocked down a alot, but he's ever the faithful butler. Their costumes aren't entirely tailored to fit perfectly to their heads or bodies. Their main enemy, Dr. Tito Daka (J. Carrol Naish who is NOT Japanese), a WWII-era Japanese Prince and scientist who is masterminding crime in Gotham City to prepare America as a colony for Imperial Japan. One could even look at this film and judge by the way the characters talk and by all the American bravado that it's racist towards the Japanese. However, I just don't care because it's few and far enough between that it's clearly not what this series is mainly about. This is Batman. I love the way Batman and Robin swing, jump, and punch their way into brawl with a bunch of gangsters. I love the way Batman gets out of harms way just in the nick of time as each episode ends in a cliffhanger. I love the way the music swells dramatically (or just manly!) when Batman appears to save the day and some goon shouts, "It's the Batman!" I love how smart they've made Bruce Wayne who can see his way out of most traps and fool bad guys into revealing their plans. I love how Robin isn't just some helpless, after-thought sidekick but can keep his own in a fight, go undercover, and save Batman's life when the time comes. I even like the funny way Daka talks (do Japanese talk like that?). Everything from rayguns (Yes, Rayguns!), to electronic zombies, and even the Batcave...everything is fun to watch! Even the acting is decent considering the times and in comparison to the corny (but loveable in its own way) acting done in the Adam West version. It is the absolute first Batman television show ever and I highly recommend all Bat-fans to buy it!Read full review

Very entertaining
Fun to watch I enjoyed it!! Not as Advanced has the 60s Batman but still entertaining. No walking up the walls with guests coming out of the window like the 60's Batman. But still Very entertaining in the least.
