Get your Bat dollars ready (official batman 66 dvd/blu-ray/digital anouncement)

[MIB41]

Got my shipping notice! Hurray!!

[PNGwynne]

Nabbed at Best Buy today--same as Amazon price.

I am enthralled with these remastered prints--esp. since I grew up with watching UHF re-runs. You can practically see the pores in Buzz's fake nose.

For added whimsy, I put on the French subtitles and chuckle at the translations. C'est tres amusant.

[HardyGirl]

Dang it! I didn't get a shipping notice yet! Shouldn't they go out at the same time? (Yes, I'm impatient, OK?)

[jquest]

Doesn't look like much of discount anywhere! Costco, has the Blu ray for$179.00 too!

Mine arrived today (Blu-Ray, from Amazon)!
I plan to dig into it tomorow.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I only had time to dig into some of the special features, but I'm thoroughly impressed.

These are bonus features like you would get in the heyday of TV shows coming to DVD. I was worried Batman would get the shaft, since it is so late in the game. Great bonus content has really dried up in the last several years. You can't tell that here.

I watched the Bat Round Table with West, Kevin Smith, Jim Lee, Ralph Garman and Phil Morris, and actually learned a thing or two! And Smith managed to behave himself for once and not go into diatribes on bodily fluids.

Yes Virginia, the Batgirl pilot is on here! It looked cleaner than I had ever seen it, although it did look a little green, especially in the yellows on Batgirl. But hey, it least it didn't look like it came from a sticky theater floor!

Very clean copies of the West/Ward and Waggoner/Dyell screen tests are included as well. I've never seen all of these, and never seen them look better.

But the best thing so far was the Collectibles documentary. The sheer amount of awesome stuff you see is just mind-blowing. AND our own Brian/Palitoy gets a credit at the end for himself AND the Mego Museum!!!

^^^ Hey Chris. I'm curious. On so many of the opening episodes, you have a shot of "Gotham City". That shot always looked grainy and pretty bad in resolution. Has that been cleaned up measurably as well?

[Earth 2 Chris]

I haven't watched any episodes yet, Tom. Those stock footage shots in the Batgirl pilot still looked grainy, but I don't think it was cleaned up on the level of the series.

^^^ Thanks brotha. You know it takes a diehard like me to come up with such obscure inquires.

holy price BATMAN...please somebody...anybody ...is this set really worth 180.00 ..even at cOSTCO???

[Mr.Marion]

Yeah $180 is really a non-starter for me right now having just bought a new car. I'm happy its out for the child in all of us that loves batman, but I'll have to wait a few more months.

[Hedji]

You can do $35 monthly payments at batmanondvd.com

It will come down in price. How long it takes and how much I'm not sure. Hopefully under $100 in 6 months. I've waited this long whats a little while longer.

[MIB41]

Here's a great review of the Blu Ray box set.

[starsky]

yeah, i'm definitely going to get one of these box sets!
