Antisocial Prof. Hammil's Remote Control device, which enables the user to take over any motor vehicle within 50 miles (!), is stolen by The Wizard, black-hooded mastermind, and his gang. Batman and Robin (who drive about in a standard convertible) must prevent the Wizard from obtaining diamonds, needed as fuel for the device, and rescue magazine photographer Vicki Vale from periodic perils. Where is the Wizard's base, reached only by remote controlled submarine? Which of several suspicious characters hides beneath the Wizard's hood?

Movie Quote(s):
- [first lines] Narrator: Crime, striking our city night and day, is on the increase. Our undermanned police force is helpless to cope with the situation, but they have an ally - Batman - who with the faithful Robin, wages unending war against all criminals!
-
Batman: Run the usual test for invisible ink. I'll change and go entertain Vicki. Robin: You better be careful. I think she's beginning to get wise that Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same. Batman: Well, if she gets too close, we know how to throw her off the trail.
-
Officer Murphy: You can't go in there! Vicki Vale: Well, I'm Vicki Vale of Picture magazine. Officer Murphy: Vicki Vale, eh? Well, I'm Officer Murphy of the Patrol Bureau. You still can't go in there!
-
Robin: What's botherin' you? Batman: Harrison's safety. The Wizard must have heard that broadcast - perhaps he even inspired it. Robin: Harrison's decision really must have knocked the props out from under his blackmail scheme. Batman: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. What's to prevent the Wizard from attacking Harrison on his way here? Robin: Batman and Robin might.
-
Vicki Vale: Untie me please! Batman: Haven't got time; you'll be all right. Don't go away!

Vicki Vale would become a common character in the Batman comics after this film. Bob Kane based her on Marilyn Monroe, whom he met during the film's banquet.
-
If Robert Lowery's Batman costume seems a bit ill-fitting, it's because it was tailored for Kirk Alyn, a bigger man. Alyn starred as Superman in both of Columbia's Superman serials.
-
Batman drives a 1949 Mercury convertible throughout, but, in one instance, when the need arises, Robin shows up in a 1949 Mercury four-door sedan, which is apparently his own; meanwhile, the Wizard drives a 1949 Mercury two-door sedan; Winslow Harrison drives a 1949 four-door Lincoln sedan; and the cops use a number of 1949 Fords, all of them innovatingly styled products of the Ford Motor Company, who must have had the only new car dealership in Gotham City. The Wizard's henchmen make a lot of use out of a 1941 Lincoln 8 passenger sedan, while Vicki Vale must make the best of it with a 1939 Plymouth convertible.
