I feel like Sara Goldfarb over here. They wave the idea of a DVD release over my head and then watch as I gradually destroy myself! LOOK AT ME!!!...

So a buddy of mine went and checked out this new Memorabilia/Poster shop that opened not far from me and this guy has this sucker priced at $600 but said he would do $399 for it. I'm thinking I may do it guys what do you think? It's linen-backed as well so it's quality will never really drop, plus its HUGE.

 
If you can afford it then go for it. It's an awesome poster. Very old school looking.
 
That's a awesome poster. I say get it if you can. :up:

Yes it is! it is a classic french vintage poster and it has a linen back so it makes it even more worth it, I hope I can bring the guy down a little bit though.
 
Bleeding Cool:
Denver Comic Con Celebrates Batman’s 75th Anniversary With ’66 Cast Appearances
Hannah Means Shannon said:
Denver Comic Con is going full steam ahead on June 13th through 15th after doubling its number of attendees last year and epic growth since its opening in 2012. This time they are definitely playing to the huge interest in iconic TV properties (Star Trek was the big theme last year) by bringing in Adam West, Burt Ward, Julie Newmar and Kevin Conroy (the voice of Batman in Batman: the Animated Series).

The appearances will connect with panel sessions, including a “reunion” panel for the ’66 cast. Conroy will also be participating in voice actors panels, spreading the Batman celebration throughout the con. These guests join previously announced Batman comic book creators Neal Adams, Christopher Jones, Yanick Paquette and Peter Tomasi. From TV to comics, this is going to be a very Bat-con, with DCC teasing more Batman-related announcements and guests still to come.
 
I hope they're there to announce they'll be involved in the release of the show on DVD. Commentaries and such.
 
I missed this little tweet on March 4th from Len Wein confirming his involvement in the special features:

Just back from WB lot where I filmed DVD extras for Assault on Arkham animovie & '60s Batman TV show collection. Much fun was had by all.
 
That's great. I hope some other notable DC writers are involved in it, too.
 
Nice...now if we can only confirm commentaries by Adam West and Burt Ward.
 
Who's still alive that could feasibly contribute to the set?

- Adam West
- Burt Ward
- Yvonne Craig
- Julie Newmar
- Lee Meriwether
- Eli Wallach (Probably wouldn't want to)
- John Astin
- Lorenzo Semple Jr.

Anyone else?
 
I can't think of anyone else. It could be fun to have some of the hench wench girls do a commentary for their episodes, like Jill St. John for the first episode of the series.
 
I'd like if they got fans of the show to chime in, like on the Spaced DVDs.

About 15 years ago I read a magazine article in "WILDEST WESTERNS" in which Eli Wallach said he gets more fan mail for his "Mr. Freeze" appearance then any thing else he has acted in.
 
That happened to Burgess Meredith, too. Adam West mentioned it on the commentary for the movie. I'd say it happened to a lot of the actors. No matter how big their careers were, Batman got them the most attention.
