Oh boy... you win some and you lose some.  While Adventures of Captain Marvel from Republic Films was a real winner the same cannot be said for the racist and silly 1943 Columbia Film The Batman.  The casting was beyond terrible and there were few good qualities about this 15-part serial.  The costuming was fine but today we meet a Batman who never wins a fight, a Robin that was at least twice too old, and dialog meant to offend probably everyone.  This film did introduce The Bat's Cave to Batman lore and just wait until you hear about the amazing special effect that accompanied the Batmobile!  Be sure to also read the article on the main When It Was Cool website for photos and more!
