BY JAY BOBBIN Holy feature film, "Batman"!! If you loved the mid-1960s television series about DC Comics' Caped Crusader and his "Boy Wonder" partner Robin, you surely were thrilled to see them on the big screen in a 1966 movie – being shown by FXM on Sunday, May 2 – that was made in conjunction with the show's first season. Adam West, who already had built a respectable career, and Burt Ward became instant superstars as the Dynamic Duo. Here, they face all of their principal enemies at once: the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), the Joker (Cesar Romero), the Penguin (Burgess Meredith) and Catwoman (Lee Meriwether, instead of original TV portrayer Julie Newmar).The dastardly quartet hatches a plot targeting world leaders, and you just know Gotham City's chief defenders won't let them get away with it. Not your father's 'Batman' ... well, OK, maybe it is "Shrill" The third and final season of this comedy series about a plus-size woman trying to change her life without changing her body finds everything falling into place for Annie (Aidy Bryant), who is energized by her break-up with Ryan (Luka Jones) and her newfound momentum at work. But as usual, there are bumps. Lolly Adefope, and John Cameron Mitchell also return. (ORIGINAL) "Ice Road Truckers" Get ready for a literal white-knuckle ride! The adventures of six truckers who risk their lives to drive their 18-wheelers on seasonal routes across frozen lakes and rivers in Arctic Canada and Alaska in the hopes of securing a big payday are front and center of the first season of this unscripted series, which first aired on History Channel in 2007. "Movie: Monster" From director Anthony Mandler ("Jonas Brothers Happiness Tour") comes this drama that casts Kelvin Harrison Jr. ("Luce") in the role of Steve Harmon, a smart, likable teen attending an elite high school in Harlem, whose world is rocked when he's charged with murder. Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Ehle, Tim Blake Nelson and John David Washington are also in the solid cast. (ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" (May 4) Members of Clone Force 99, a unique squad of clones, find their way in a changing galaxy in the aftermath of the Clone War in this animated action series from creator Dave Filoni ("The Mandalorian," "Rangers of the New Republic").
