Title: Standard cops-and-robbers; add one star for the second half
Review: This is NOT the campy, politically incorrect 1943 serial with zombies, alligators, and ray guns. Rather, this is the 1949 sequel, which is a straight crime melodrama with good and bad points in about equal measure. On the minus side, the first half doesn't go anywhere, with a sketchy story and unimpressive action (Batman's dangerous leaps are shown in "safe" close shots, for example). The script is uneven, the identity of the masked villain is predictable, and the production values are of the bargain-basement variety. On the plus side, however, decent direction and a hard-working cast smooth over the rough spots, and things get moving in the second half (faster pace, more elaborate stunts).Both halves average out to an average serial, disappointing for Batman enthusiasts but okay for serial fans and B-movie buffs. Picture and sound quality are very good.
