Batman. 1943.
Batman and Robin fight against Dr. Daka, a Japanese mastermind of a wartime espionage group.
Made as a 15 part/chapter serial that was released as a full length feature film running at almost 4 hours, this marks the first appearance of Batman on the scree played by Lewis Wilson in his first screen debut along with Douglas Croft as Dick Grayson/Robin and William Robinson as Alfred.
Every part seemes to be lasting 15-20 minutes and during WWII Batman seems to be working with the police, there is a low budget feel to it as it was made for television but the production team did try their best to do with what they had it certainly passed a good couple of hours for me and may have been the inspiration for the 1960s television series as the costumes do seem to be the same.
