Please please please let part of the deal be Batman 1966

we can only hope but odds are a big lump sum up front for their piece of the "distribution right" and a smaller piece of the profits

Never had any doubts as for as the March release date. Warner Bros is one of the big boys, but so is Fox.

I will defer to those more in the know here but isn't the issue with Batman 66 the same as watchmen, WB/DC have the characters and fox has the distribution? if so the only benfit is that WB and fox are learning to share the pis but they still have to agree on what part of the pie goes to whom. it may work in the opposite way if Fox feels shafted by the compensation ordered by the court

Batman tv show was filmed and produced by Fox, before Dc was bought by WB, they own the show, but not the copyright on the characters

Correction: Eat your cake and have it too is the correct phrase...sorry it's a personal pet peeve i have about that saying.

If you Have your cake then you can eat it.
If you eat it you don't have it.

Historical side note: Ted Kaczynski was a stickler for the distinction, as well and that's how David Kaczynski was able to identify his brother from "The Unabomber Manifesto".

Mr. Kaczynski, is that you?
