Editorial Reviews
Batfink, a super hero unlike anything the world’s ever seen, and his klutzy sidekick, Karate, are on a mission to put an end to crime. Facing the world’s most dangerous evil-doers, this dynamic duo takes on the likes of Queenie Bee, Victor the Predictor, Goldyunlocks, Judy Jitsu and, of course, the heinous Hugo A-Go-Go. With his metallic wings and super-sonic sonar, no villain,no matter how diabolical, can escape the justice of Batfink!

This review is from: Batfink: The Complete Series (DVD)
Excellent!!! Each episode was a campy but hysterical five-minute parody of the then-popular "Batman" TV show. The animation was cheap and simple, only two guys did all the voices, and yet this is one of the funniest, most under-rated cartoons of all time. It's all there; Batfink's supersonic sonar radar; his sidekick "Karate" (a fat bumbling jujitsu expert), arch-enemy Hugo-A-Go-Go (a very crooked mad scientist), and all the corny but clever jokes. There's still something quite hip about Batfink, in a 1967 kind of way. I'm glad this official version is finally being released in the states. Highly recommended, although as you can probably tell by my name I'm a bit biased.

Wings like a shield of steel,

This review is from: Batfink: The Complete Series (DVD)
I remember watching this show in the early 70's in black and white as a kid. Great to now see it in color, and in great quality.
Sound and picture quality is great, viewed on an 86cm plasma. Would've given it 5 stars, but I'm a bit dissapointed with how they've re-edited the opener. I remember it started off with Karate and Batfink in the Batalac coming out of a cave. The theme song (which was sung) started like "The Batalac is ready is a wonder car...etc". This is not there. No singing opening. It's all cut with different music and shortened. It's such a real shame as I thought I was getting the classic Batfink shows. Why did they do this? I was really looking forward to it. A friend told me that the real opening is on YouTube. I checked it out and it's there. See it for yourself. This is what I was expecting to see on the DVD. The show, as it was. The menu actually features the real opening music that was at the end of the theme song that was over the title of the episode. I think each cartoon goes for about 6 minutes. I'm not sure because the disc doesn't display any time or chapter details(really weird), and I timed it with a watch without a second hand. Nice packaging but I find the discs are always displaced when I open the case. (Two discs per 'soft thin' case, so they are very close together. Just be careful that one of the discs doesn't drop out. Easy to do.) I'm still glad I purchased this DVD because of the show that I loved long ago. They're still fun and I actually got a good laugh from some of them, but didn't think it was worth $32.00.
