action
The genius scientist Professor Hammil has made a groundbreaking new invention: a machine with which one can take control of any type of vehicle in order to drive it wherever you want. However, the machine is stolen because it has a value that should not be underestimated by criminals.
Commissioner Gordon calls Batman and Robin to help bring the machine back. Hammil explains to the two that the machine runs on diamonds, so they go to the nearest major jeweler and take a stand. Their instincts did not deceive the masked criminal hunters. A handful of crooks are trying to get out of the back door with the loot. Batman and Robin arrest the gang, but one of them manages to escape with the stolen property.
He takes the diamonds to his boss, a masked criminal genius who calls himself The Wizard . He has now acquired enough diamonds to start the machine and is using them to hijack a train that is carrying a new type of super explosive called "X-90". The Wizard plans to use the explosives to extort a million dollar ransom from the city. But before the criminal can put his plan into practice, Batman and Robin have found his secret hiding place, which is right under Professor Hammil's house.
It turns out that The Wizard is actually the criminally inclined twin brother of Carter, Hammil's house servant. Carter's brother is handed over to the police, and the city is saved thanks to Batman and Robin.
Others
- The bat signal was used for the first time in Batman and Robin . The spotlight, which can project the stylized silhouette of a bat, was adopted in comics shortly after the film because of its effectiveness.
- The character Vicky Vale, originally developed for the serial, was also to remain an integral part of the Batman universe after the film. Batman inventor Bob Kane based her appearance on Marilyn Monroe , whom he met at the banquet on the occasion of the premiere of Batman and Robin .
- Since the budget for Batman and Robin was even lower than for the first serial, a black Mercury was simply used as the Batmobile.
