Looks like someone beat me to the punch on tumblr. Dat HD Tusi!

The colors are soooo vibrant t:

I'm glad that they didn't go overboard with a more muted color grading.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

[KaineMorrison]

Well, I decided NOT to buy this set!
There are TONNES of missing Audio Cues!
The first being the Opening Narration of the FIRST Episode!
There are more being discovered and being reported on another forum I frequent.

Thank you, it reminded me to put you on ignore list.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I will never not love this! t:

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

It's strange to see that part in high quality.

 

[O'Haire]

Thank you, it reminded me to put you on ignore list.

 

[The Joker]

It's strange to see that part in high quality.

And awesome. Those crisp vibrant colors make it look even more like a comic book come to life.

The Bat-tusi as it should be seen

 

[Naked Shia]

it really is a thing of beauty.

^^^ They are brilliant. I always loved in that movie intro how each villain's musical theme plays when they appear.

There are scenes missing from some episodes.

This is on episode 2x24, "Marsha's Scheme of Diamonds". There is a standard cut to episode 2x46 as well:

"Riddling Controversy" with John Astin as the Riddler, the scene where the Riddler is hiding behind the Commissioner's desk is omitted when he puts his "pencil flashlight" into a wall outlet.

 

[The Joker]

Bruce Campbell?

 

[The Caped Knight]

I'm really enjoying my set , The episodes look so crisp and clear. The special features are a treat in a half that Bat-memorablia was impressive to say the least!

 

[KaineMorrison]

Bruce Campbell?

UserName of someone on another forum who found it.

 

[AnneFan]

Apparently that 'cut scene' from Riddling Controversy with Riddler hiding behind the Commissioner's desk doesn't exist. The episode is complete.

 

[The Joker]

That's good to hear

I don't care if anything is missing from the weak episodes like the Nora Clavicle one, or the Joker surfing one. Basically season 3 ones.

 

[AnneFan]

I think a lot of the worries with this set are just that. For example people were saying the next week bumpers were missing from the early episodes - when they were never on those episodes in the first place.

 

[The Joker]

Oh is that the ones where they'd say "Next week Batman takes on The Penguin".

 

[O'Haire]

Man, this show looks so gorgeous on Blu-Ray.

As has been discuss on the HOME THEATER FORUM there is a minute missing from part 2 of the Marsha Queen of Diamonds episode. The ending tagged with the Aunt Hilda.

The opening narration of the premire episode with the Riddler isn't suppose to be there. It was added later when the show went into reruns.

I have watched the 1st 24 episodes, BEAUTIFULL!!!

Also watched the BATGIRL pilot in the Bat-Rarities sections.
Nice introducation for Barbara but a VERY LAME custome for Killer Moth.
Pilot was NOT remastered.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

What, there's 60 seconds that's missing from one episode? Boycott!

 

[The Joker]

How are the bonus features, guys and gals who have bought it?

 

[Rocketman]

Bought the Season One DVD set last night.
I'm in heaven. t:

The colors are so fantastic, and the transfer is unbelievable. Seriously, there are some shots that you would swear were filmed 10 years ago.. It's THAT crisp.

I have no idea what the process of remastering film is, but the team who did this should seriously win an award or something.
