    WB/Fox Watchmen 1966 Batman trade?

    Interesting tidbit at Lying in the Gutters this week. Looks like Fox is willing to settle the Watchmen suit for the rights to release the Batshow on DVD and a cash settlement!!!!

    i was in Border's Book/ everything store a couple of weeks ago and a salesman said that watchmen was the #1 selling softcover right now. not just graphic novel but softcover book. after that trailer came out people who didn't read it before went out and bought it to see what was coming. Not to mention how good the trailer looked means they're hoping for 200-500 million dollars to come in from this. they won't want to lose that. so maybe just maybe 60's batman might be worth letting the fight end so they can make thier money. after all they already put out the dough to make it and can't just have it sit and not make any back. they also don't want to drag it out in court for years while that money just sits there. so let's hope dvd's are soon on the way!

    If he greenlights something, it pans out that there is usually some truth to it. It's the yellow lights you have to watch.

    Watchmen is going to make a ton of money. There is already mega-buzz on it, and if it makes it out, it's due to debut in a dead time for movies. Warners did this on purpose, hoping for some business like Miller's 300 film. Watchmen will probably bring in at least $200 million, and the Batman TV series will probably sell well, if it is promoted properly. Sounds like a pretty fair trade to me.

    too bad most of the villians have passed, having met Gorshin he'd have been great to have commentary for his episodes
