ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face is an animated film that came out in 2017. It is a sequel to 2016's Batman: Return of the Caped of the Caped Crusaders. Both films serve as a reunion for the cast of the 1960's live-action ব্যাটম্যান TV প্রদর্শনী and movie. Both films have Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar returning to their classic roles. Return of the Caped Crusaders was a really good tribute to the classic ব্যাটম্যান show, while being unique and clever enough to feel like something fresh. In my opinion, ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face is an even better film. While ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face might just seem like one of many direct-to-DVD ব্যাটম্যান cartoon films, I believe the film is something truly special and important.
In order to avoid spoilers, I will just give a short বিবরণ of the plot and the rest of the review will be as spoiler-free as possible. The general plot of the film surrounds the complicated relationship between Bruce Wayne and Gotham City's most notable attorney, Harvey Dent. Bruce was Harvey's best friend, but after Harvey got into an accident that scarred his face, he became Two-Face. As Two-Face, Harvey poses a threat to the Dynamic Duo. While ব্যাটম্যান believes he can help his old friend reform, Robin and Catwoman get jealous that Batman's focusing আরো on Harvey than them.
ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face came out over fifty years after the classic ব্যাটম্যান প্রদর্শনী started. However, the heart, creativity and humor of the প্রদর্শনী lives on in this underrated gem of a film. ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face is a notable film for a variety of reasons which I will explain in the characters and cast sections of the review.
The Characters
Two-Face was a villain that was supposed to be appear in the live-action series, but those plans got cancelled. To makeup for that, Two-Face gets to be the main villain of this film. Two-Face is often portrayed as a very serious villain, so it might seem like he wouldn't work in this আরো kid-friendly version of Batman. However, the people who made this film did a great job at making Two-Face a worthy opponent of the classic Batman. Most versions of Harvey Dent focus on the tragedy of a good, heroic attorney becoming a fearsome villain. While this film does explore that concept, it also explores optimism and hope. Despite what Harvey's become, ব্যাটম্যান still sees the good in him and he isn't ready to give up on his old friend.
ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face explores a side of ব্যাটম্যান that isn't really explored in the other films, which is friendship. Despite what the শিরোনাম might imply, this film is truly a touching story about the close friendship between Bruce and Harvey. It also has a subplot about the close bond between the Dynamic Duo.
Although Two-Face is the film's main villain, he's not the only enemy that ব্যাটম্যান and Robin have to deal with. King Tut actually appears in this film. King Tut has had cameos in other films, but his role in this film is much better. I won't spoil what he does, but I will say that this is the biggest role King Tut has had in a long time. King Tut is a great villain of the rogues gallery who doesn't enough attention and respect, so it was great to see him in this film. The Bookworm also returns and his role is highly-enjoyable. As to be expected the four big villains of the 60's, Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Riddler, also appear. However, Catwoman has gone through a bit of a redemption arc. Two-Face isn't the only villain that ব্যাটম্যান thinks can be redeemed. He also believes that Catwoman can become a better person.
Hugo Strange is a prominent villain from the ব্যাটম্যান comics. In fact, he was even created before the Joker. However, he never appeared in the 60's show. Thankfully, he gets a supporting role in this film. Without giving too much away, Hugo Strange plays an important role in the plot. Hugo Strange is one of many underrated ব্যাটম্যান villains, so seeing him in this film was beyond awesome.
As much as I enjoy the scene-stealing villains, the film's true তারকা is Batman. I don't know if there are enough words to describe how much I প্রণয় this film's version of Batman. In সাম্প্রতিক decades, Batman's been presented in a less than flattering light. There's been several versions that portray ব্যাটম্যান as a bitter, anti-social, dark character. Although the first batch of ব্যাটম্যান comics were dark, Bill Finger quickly turned ব্যাটম্যান into a hopeful and admirable character that people of all ages could enjoy. ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face is আরো than just a retread of the 60's Batman. This film serves as a reminder of how ব্যাটম্যান should be portrayed. This film's ব্যাটম্যান is open-minded, kind, understanding, well-mannered and a very inspiring character. Yes, he's campy, but that doesn't the change the fact that this ব্যাটম্যান is a hero.
The Cast
Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar all return to voice their original characters. In addition to that, Lee Meriwether voices a new character. William Shatner voices Two-Face. William Shatner does a great job at making Harvey Dent and Two-Face sound very different. As Two-Face, he sounds villainous and gruff, but as Harvey Dent, he sounds innocent and concerned. Professional voice-actors were brought in to do impressions of the original show's cast members that were no longer around. While it's true that nobody can replace the show's original cast, the voice-actors deserve a lot of credit and respect for putting a lot of effort into honoring the original actors.
ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face was Adam West's voicing Batman. He finished his work on the film before he sadly passed away, but the film came out months later. The film serves as a meaningful reminder of how Adam West really is. দ্বারা this point in his career, Adam West had enough money thanks to his work on Family Guy. Although Adam West joked about doing these films for money, it's clear that he had a much আরো personal reason for coming back: For decades, Adam West was touched and felt honored দ্বারা how much the অনুরাগী loved him. Adam West voicing his most famous role, while in his late eighties, is a true sign of the dedication he had for his fans. In his final performance, Adam West gives a beautiful voice performance. Hearing him tell Robin how important he is to him is something that's beyond heartwarming.
Adam West is often thought of as the campy Batman, but in my opinion, he's the most heartwarming and loveable ব্যাটম্যান there's ever been. As a kid, I preferred the darker ব্যাটম্যান over the 60's প্রদর্শনী and movie. While I liked the 60's ব্যাটম্যান প্রদর্শনী and movie, I thought the প্রদর্শনী was a product of its time and that it wasn't as good as the darker, "edgier" Batman. However, as I grew up, I realized that a lot of the so-called "dark" and "adult" versions of ব্যাটম্যান are often too morally-ambiguous. Also, some versions of ব্যাটম্যান ends up being unintentionally funny. However, Adam West's take on ব্যাটম্যান was meant to be funny. The humor was intentional and clever, unlike the darker Batmans who act so cartoonishly-edgy that it's hard to take them seriously. Bill Finger was not just Batman's true creator. Bill Finger was the one who made ব্যাটম্যান a good role-model and a fun, unique character. Not actor has captured the হৃদয় and soul of Bill Finger's creation better than Adam West.

ব্যাটম্যান vs. Two-Face is a sentimental tribute to Batman. It's an underrated masterpiece that I recommend to all ব্যাটম্যান fans, as well as to anybody who wants to watch a feel-good, optimistic film about justice.
