100 Words or Less: Batman and Robin (1949 serial)

I’m not sure how many film serials had sequels, but this was one of those sequels. Somehow, even though everything was marginally better than the original (acting, costumes, music), this one was still worse. Probably because the plot was so much more boring. New cast, so no Alfred to save the day. And though the acting in the original wasn’t great, I could at least buy that everybody looked the part. In this take, Robin looked older than Batman.

This one also took me two sittings to finish.


There was one thing that stayed the same for the sequel: Fedoras
