The Batman (1966) Appreciation Thread

[The Joker]

More information on the box set will be released soon, according to Warner Bros.

I'm guessing/hoping May to coincide with Batman's 75th anniversary.

 

[Travesty]

I'm more interested in the pricing right now. How much do you guys think it'll cost?

I would guess $40-60.

 

[Travesty]

That would be nice. I hope it's not too expensive.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

You'll buy it anyway

That's why I don't want it to be too expensive.

I am pleased immensely it is having a proper DVD release. I will be picking it up on the day of release.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

That's why I don't want it to be too expensive.

"For only $ 800, you can own the entire Batman series on this limited edition DVD! It will never, ever be released again!"

Warner Bros. usually doesn't go too nuts with the price tag for their TV shows, so I'm not too worried.

You wanna get nuts?

I don't know... 120 episodes, with possible special features in (no doubt) limited packaging is bound to be a tad expensive.

Then consider it's price on Blu-ray.

No limited stuff

Disney does that, it's so annoying... I didn't get The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh because of that limited edition crap I'm glad i pre-ordered Zorro season 1 and 2...

Damn you, Disney (Walt is turning in his grave, perverts)

I wish I hadn't seen that incredible box set fan art that Kane posted. How will the actual artwork possibly live up to that?

Yeah, but with Lee Meriwether's Catwoman, it seems too associated with The Movie for me...

I sure WB will come up with something great.

 

[Travesty]

I sure WB will come up with something great.

I dunno? Have you seen the covers for TDK and TDKR?

 

[AnneFan]

Hoping it will be reasonably priced, but yeah, I'll be snapping this up ASAP in any case. And that's how many, many people have been feeling for a long time. They could set any price on this thing really.

Going to watch The 60's Batman movie this saturday

As I wrote in another thread; When I was a little boy, this version of Batman was the same Batman as Michael Keaton and the BTAS version. In fact, when I saw the series, I didn't see Adam West... I saw Keaton. It was the same suit, and the same batmobile from the Burton movies. I didn't find anything in it funny, it was dead serious. Strange, huh?

It was the same with the movie. When the shark was biting Batman's leg, my older brother and his buddy laughed, but I didn't get why. Was it the special effect? Batman is in serious danger! What's so funny about the shark repellent spray? After all, it was just another, cool bat-gadget, like the batarang, grappling gun and smoke bomb. Stop making fun of Batman!

I will try to have the same mindset when I watch the movie againt:

 

[Sawyer]

I. Need. NEEEEEWS!!!

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Yeah... It's horrible. Waiting for Superman vs Batman news, and now Batman 66.

You're tearing me apart WB!!!

 

[AnneFan]

Watch this in the meantime.

Wow... guess it was a long day for Adam, huh?

I'm not sure if that was funny for a little disrespectful.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Anyone seen Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt?

 

[batdude]

Yeah, I did, it's kind of fun and has Lyle Waggoners's screen test as Batman on it. I think it's on dvd too.

I recorded that movie on VHS when it premiered on CBS. Unfortunately, my VCR can't connect to my modern television so the tape is now gathering dust somewhere.
