- #1June 13, 2018"Whether you will like this movie really boils down to your feelings of the TV show, because it was really just a longer version of the TV show without the cliffhanger. All the same characters were there, but this time with the super villains teaming up to kidnap and ransom the fictional version of the United Nations security council. The movie was filmed during the summer hiatus of the TV series. It had the same campy, cheesy factor that the show had, and while the actors played it straight you can tell everyone's tongues were planted firmly in their cheeks. The highlights of the movie that everyone likely remembers is the very cheesy fake shark, and the shark repellant, the bomb gag, and Lee Meriwether filling out the Catwoman suit quite nicely."
