Premise

An evil organization called the CLAW has threatened nuclear annihilation on the rest of the world unless all countries submit to its rule within five days. Presenting a united front, an alliance of countries tap James Bond and Batman (and Robin) to stop the threat, but both Bond and Batman play brinkmanship with each other. As the hour to doomsday winds down, the heroes are eventually forced to work together. Little do the protagonists know that the real enemy is closer than they think.{{cite web|url=http://rarefilm.net/james-batman-1966-artemio-marquez-dolphy-shirley-moreno-boy-alano/|title=James Batman (1966)|date=April 29, 2019|access-date=January 1, 2020| website=RareFilm}}
