Batman Versus Predator

Me and Gwen, the Cappie, were at the video store looking for a movie to rent. Most of the stuff there was crap, like Cruel Intentions 7 and Children of the Corn 16. But I did see one movie that both Gwen and I could agree on. It was a direct to video film entitled Batman vs. the Predator.

I turned the case over and saw that it starred Adam West as Batman. It was so neccesary to rent it at that point, I'd have paid $100 for just one night alone with it.

And the movie didn't disappoint, either. The first scene had West as Bruce Wayne in a coffee shop trying to order a poppyseed bagel. He was fighting with the store clerks about it because they told him they were out. As he was giving them a lecture on the importance of customer satisfaction, someone cracked a Snapple(TM) bottle over his head. This was going to be good.

After that, there was some kind of expensive auction going on in Gotham that Bruce Wayne attended. Then this bright green gas flooded the room knocking everyone out, and the Predator, his henchmen and this really hot woman in Go-Go boots came in and took a really expensive painting. It was on.

You can imagine how the rest of it went: Commissioner Gordon called him and Robin to tell them what was up. They later foiled some other plans of the Predator's. They showed the Predator's lair, where the hot woman called him things like "Preddy Baby". At one point the Predator had Batman and Robin, but instead of killing them, chained them to a wall and left a big bowling ball like bomb there to blow them up instead. Batman escaped by using his Bat-cooking oil to slip out of the shackles, and his Bat-soap to make a fake gun. The movie ended when the Predator kidnapped Batgirl and planned on feeding her to some oversized Venus Flytrap, and then Batman and Robin showed up and kicked some ass.

I was extremely satisfied, and am looking for the sequel. I turned off the DVD player, and Gwen and I watched Good Times on TVLand.
