Adam West and Burt Ward reunite for a new 'Batman' movie
There's only one appropriate response to news of this magnitude: do the Batusi.
Adam West and Burt Ward, television's original Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder, are heading back to Gotham City.
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders reunites West and Ward as Batman and Robin in a feature-length animated film set in the universe of the '60s TV series. The dynamic duo is also joined by the voice of Julie Newmar, who played TV's Catwoman.

This first trailer doesn't show off any of the movie, but it does feature West and Ward escaping from one of the TV series' trademark death traps as they hype the Blu-ray. It's cute. And super enjoyable if you have any memory of the original TV series.
We don't know much yet about the story, but it features a familiar cast of villains: Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman. It also heads to space at one point. Groovy.
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders is a direct-to-video release that will be available via VOD on Oct. 11 and on Blu-ray starting Nov. 1.
