Summary: Part IV in the Thumb series
Review: A very unfunny short and so far the worst in the series. There a few laughs, but not nearly enough to sustain watching the whole thing.
The DVD includes: An ok commentary, mock behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, deleted scenes, storyboards, and trailers for all the Thumb films including the unreleased Frankenthumb and The Godthumb.
This is the best DVD in the series for sheer number of extras, but the movie [is bad].

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thumbs are still funny!
Review: Although none of the Thumb movies have surpassed the first in the series, Thumb Wars, they are all worth watching.

Steve Oedekerk is incredibly funny and quite bizzare sometimes, and each Thumb movie needs to be seen by everyone.

Bat Thumb is a good spoof of both the older Bat Man series and also the Bat Man movies.

If you've never seen a Thumb movie, start with ThumbWars, then the Blair Thumb. Thumbtanic is pretty fun, and so now is Bat Thumb. If you're already a Thumb fan, then you want this one for your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Definately Funny And Clever! Holy Bat Thumbs, Bat Thumb!
Review: Bat Thumb is a clever little short that makes me laugh. It has humor, sarcasm, wit and innuendos that are not always for children. (But the kids will love it.) They are actually Thumbs that have faces that will be superimposed on them.

It actually parodies the Tim Burton version of Batman (with Michael Keaton) and duplicates scenes and situations that are all twisted and almost ... at times. The story is Bat Thumb gets a new partner - not by choice - Blue Jay (not Robin) and has to defeat the evil 'No Face' (a thumb with no face on it!)

Steve Oedekerk (Best known for the Ace Ventura films, Jimmy Neutron, The Nutty Professor and recently Kung Pao.) is the writer, producer and creator of several of these O Entertainment productions - including Thumtanic, Thumb Wars and The Blair Thumb Project. He is slapstick and sarcastic in nature and these Thumbs have personality and an almost weird charm about them.

This is funny, short and they are technically well done. The art direction, special effects and even the music - which I thing is clearly superior - all make this adventure fun and exciting. To those who like oddball humor this is a must DVD to own. The extras include hysterical commentaries, outtakes, previews and storyboards. Get This DVD. (8-13-02)

Summary: Bat Thumb is great!
Review: Bat Thumb is one of Oedekerk's best. This movie is as funny as Thumbtanic but not as good as Thumb Wars. The movie takes place in GaaaThumb city. It's about the local millionaire Wuce Bane, and how he is secretly the superhero Bat Thumb. Bat Thumb along with his sidekick/wussy Blue Jay are against the city villain "No Face." No face makes a formula that he puts on the city that makes everybody have no face just like him. Will Bat Thumb save the city in time?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An OK thumbiage
Review: Bat Thumb was very disappointing to me. After seeing Thumb Wars and Thumbtanic, this new installment just didn't have what it takes. But the more I watched Bat Thumb, the more I grew to like it. This is a 30 minute spoof on Batman, but the whole cast is just thumbs with super-imposed faces. You have to see it to believe it, and Bat Thumb shines in its facial animations. Thumb faces aside, however, the humor is rare. In a nutshell, Bane's mellow voice, Wuce's drunken butler, and any interaction between Bat Thumb and Blue Jay are all hilarious. Unfortunately, most of the movie is bitterly paced by its slow and dry storyline. The jokes are, shall we say, few and far between, not like the nonstop antics of Thumb Wars. Even the infamous "Whoo-hoo!" cyclops just wasn't cutting the grade. The DVD extras are nice, but don't make up for what the main movie lacks. All in all, good for a hearty chuckle, but doesn't come close to Thumb Wars and Thumbtanic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Guilty Pleasure
Review: By far the best in a long line of funny spoofs by Steve Odekerk. Truly hillarious. Anyone who is a fan of batman will love it. Every one of us knows a certain somebody like blue jay (watch the movie and you'll get it) so that adds to the enjoyment. A definate must own. Also check out other Thumb movies for a few good laughs

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Bat Thumb second only to Thumb Wars
Review: Not since Lok Groundrunner found out Dark Helmet was his mother has one of these Oedekerk inspired films made me laugh so much. Bat Thumb is all about Wuce Bane's pursuit of GAAAThumbs evil doer, NO FACE! With his gender bending sidekick Blue Jay and drunk butler Fred. Bat Thumb tries to save the citizens of his fair city from having there faces removed. While looking good for the ladies. If you liked Thumb Wars and are a Bat Man fan (Movie or T.V.) this is a must for you DVD collection...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GoThumb
Review: Ok, Gothumb city and this movie are a bit weak. I think Steve could have done a bit more than he did with this spoof. It is still funny, but out of his first 4 Thumb movies... this is the 4th place flick of the bunch. It is still entertaining, but don't get your hopes too high up there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the series!
Review: This DVD is excellent! After seeing The Blair Thumb and Thumb Wars, Bat Thumb is by far the best in the series. The gags are great, the characters are hilarious, and Bat Thumb is just so damn cute. But to really appreciate this DVD you MUST watch the extra features, especially the cast interviews... they're the best part. if you love Steve Oedekerk's work or want a good laugh, Bat Thumb is definitely worth the ten bucks. enjoy!
