Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders toon with original cast

It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!

You can meet the cast of the original series  at the upcoming Stan Lee’s L.A. Comic Con this weekend in Los Angeles and see Batman BEFORE the Dark Knight phenomena when it was all funs, giggles and we had the Bat Signal!
