As the Second World War raged, Hollywood churned out dozens of inspirational movie serials designed to remind audiences that Uncle Sam never failed to kick bad guy ass. This crude propaganda serial marked Batman's first screen appearance and pitted him against the menace of Japanese megalomaniac, Dr. Daka, a man who ticked all the boxes on the mad scientist checklist: secret fortress, alligator pit and fiendish mind-control raygun. A follow-up, Batman & Robin, thrilled youngsters in 1949.
