Legends of the Superheroes
 
(1979) TV movie
 
Directed by:
Bill Carruthers, Chris Darley

Genre:
Action + Comedy + Adventure + Sci-Fi

Synopsis:
Heroes and villains of DC Comics square off in the two-part, live-action, made-for-TV (with a laugh track!) smackdowns of Legends of the Super Heroes. The Challenge: Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward of the live-action Batman TV series) lead The Flash, Green Lantern and more JLA members against The Riddler (Frank Gorshin reprising his TV role), Mordru, Weather Wizard and other Doom-dealers. The Legion’s ultimate gambit: trick the heroes into downing a diabolical depowering drink! The Roast: Poking fun beats swapping punches when celebrity host Ed McMahon emcees a rowdy rave-up. Who knew DC Super Heroes and villains packed as much verbal wit as physical grit when not locked in mortal combat? These Legends will leave you laughing.

In the first episode, "The Challenge", the superheroes must race against time to stop the diabolical supervillians' plot to destroy the world. In the second episode, "The Roast", the superheroes pay tribute to Batman and Robin in the form of a roast which even the villians attend.
