Super Powers Collection - Batman VHS

I enjoy collecting different Batman cartoons and this one was likeable. The adventures included: HOW MANY HERRING IN A WHEELBARROW?, A BIRD OUT OF HAND, FROM CATWOMAN WITH LOVE, THE 1001 FACES OF THE RIDDLER, AND THE COO, CRUEL MR. FREEZE.The only reason I gave this VHS tape four stars was of Catwoman. The Catwoman depicted on this tape was husky and rough.

These cartoons are taken from "The Adventures of Batman" and "The Adventures of Batman & Robin" television series which originally aired in the late 1960s. The 5 episodes included here are the only ones available on home video from these classic series. The episodes are:How Many Herring in a Wheelbarrow? - The Joker may be stealing goldfish and wheelbarrows, but Batman knows he is up to something bigger.A Bird Out of Hand - The Penguin has seemingly gone "straight" and has started fighting crime, but Batman is sure something "coo coo" is going on.From Catwoman with Love - It's almost Valentine's Day and Batman & Robin receive a Cat and a truce from Catwoman. With the help of Batgirl, the caped crusaders find out what Catwoman is really up to.1001 Faces of the Riddler - Things are not always as they seem when the Riddler disguises himself as well known people in Gotham, but Batman has a clue how to unmask him.The Cool Cruel Mr. Freeze - There's an iceberg in Gotham Harbor and only Mr. Freeze can be responsible. Will Batman & Robin thaw him out before he puts all of Gotham on ice?This video is an essential part of the other 3 Super Powers Collection videos: Superman, Superboy, and Aquaman. These cartoons are very entertaining, non violent, and often humorous. I have two complaints when it comes to these 4 videos. First, there are a little over 30 episodes that these were pulled from. Why is there only 5 here? That goes for the other Super Powers videos as well. I think that if a cartoon, especially a classic, is going to be brought out on video, it should be the whole series. Most of the time a cartoon is brought out as a sampler or best of collection video. Second, how about releasing the Super Powers collection on DVD? These VHS tapes have been around for awhile. In fact, don't bother with releasing these sets, just release the entire classic series on DVD. If you want to see what Batman was like before he had a different colored costume every day, I recommend it!

This is much better for my son to watch instead of the newer "Batman Beyond", which I thought too graphic. And since I took the "Beyond" videos away, he's happy to be watching any Batman. He seems just as happy with this Batman as he did the other, and now mom and dad are happy too.

This great sixty minute video features 5 stories revolving around the Batman and Robin. The style of the animation is from the old 60's and 70's tv cartoons, with lots of colour. It has all of your favorite villians including: The Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, and Mr. Freeze. If you want to have lots of fun, I would recomend ordering this video.
