After the TV show ended in 1968, Barris kept the Batmobile, storing it at his north Hollywood custom-car shop and trailering it to auto events nationwide.
The cast and producers have evidently enjoyed making the film and showing off their talents but ultimately to an audience unfamiliar with Barris it may well feel like being left out of a private joke.
It looks good and has some clever touches, like Barris saying goodbye to fellow CIA trainees Lee and Jack, shortly before the Kennedy assassination, but other than the star names it is unclear what would attract non-American audiences.
Coming from Dell whose dull gray commodity computers were probably a major impetus behind the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement by users who wanted something more attractive to work on, is something of a surprise, but Barris says Dell is an HFT powerhouse.
