Batman: The TV Series (1966) Review

For those of you who don't know what the problem is, this is what's keeping the series from being released on dvd and vhs. Warner Brothers owns the character of Batman, while 20th Century Fox owns the series. And all of us Batman fans have to suffer while these suits argue over minute technicalities. But logic would dictate that if the 1966 movie could be released, then the series can be released. So enough you suits! Stop bickering and release the series. In case you can't figure this out, the longer you can't make up your minds, the longer you're not making ANY money. Duh??? Well, to all you batfans out there, you probably don't need me to tell you that this was a wonderful series that combined adventure, suspense, comedy, and sometimes drama. On one extreme, we have hilarious episodes like the one where the Penguin runs for mayor. On the other extreme, there are some surprisingly frightening episodes like 'The Joker Is Wild.' What makes this series so great is that whether it is hilarious or suspenseful and frightening, IT HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION at every moment. Another great thing about this series is that while Batman provides the stability, it is often the villains who are entertaining. So we might cheer for Batman but allow the villains to entertain us. But if you are a Batman fan, you probably already know this. All I can say is, in the meantime, the 1966 Adam West movie, the Tim Burton movies, the animated series, and the animated movies are available. And 'Return to the Batcave' (2003) is a MUST HAVE. So maybe these things that are available on dvd and vhs can tide us over until these suits stop bickering and making excuses. It's been almost 40 years! We Batfans have been more than patient with you! IT's PAST TIME!

Batman - The Movie (1966) Review

The key things to know about the DVD are:
1) The colors jump off the screen, it is a great transfer
2) The featurette with Adam West (Batman) and Burt Ward (Robin) is good, though they cover a lot of the same ground in the commentary
3) The Batmobile feature is very cool
4) The commentary is awesome. Adam and Burt have a great chemistry and really seem to love both the movie and the show. Their tongues are firmly in their cheeks druing the commentary (Adam West's views on Bruce Wayne alone are worth the price of admission), but you will learn about the production and such secrets as:
Why did ABC tear down the Batcave so quickly after cancellation?
What did Burt Ward really think about the BatCycle?
How and why did Lee Meriweather get to play Catwoman?
Why did Adam and Burt have to spend two hours each week getting oxygen at the Fox infirmary?
The team at Fox had a lot of love for this movie and it shows. Buy this DVD and get Fox to release some series episodes with Adam, Burt, Julie Newmar (Catwoman) and Frank Gorshin (Riddler)doing commentary!
