    Batman:44 Years Ago (And Still no DVD)

    "Batman" starring Adam West and Burt Ward debuted 44 years ago, January 12, 1966....maybe we can shoot for the 45th Anniversary for a legit DVD set.

    Happy Anniversary Caped Crusaders! It sucks that it's not available for the masses. One day....

      It's a shame since all the cast is dying off so nobody will be left for any DVD extras like interviews or commentaries. Hopefully someone thought ahead and arranged at least some commentaries. I know they can use old interviews but it just feels different.

        It's already too late for the owners to make the best money they could have by it's release and as the years go by it will get worse and worse for them.

        90% of the world owns boots of the series anyway.

        In not very long of a time the 60's series will be regarded by most fans as we regard the 40's serial.

        A big missed opportunity that will never happen again.

            When someone doesn't renew their copyrights. There are quite a few shows that went to public domain which is why you can buy dvd's for $1. I believe Underdog is one of them.

              This really is just plain befuddling that the parties involved couldn't get past their differences about how much money they should get to see their way to make ANY money.

              The real market for this show is just getting older and older and, hence, bogged with other expenses. The fans of this show are now having kids, buying homes, etc. The release would still sell well, but I believe its maximum potential would have been released with the past 5-10 years.

              BTW, I have 3 different sets of this show.

                          I have a 10 disc set of bootlegs from TVLand. They are pretty bad. The premiere show features a scene where the "Friendship Cake" blows up and the screen just becomes a chaotic mass of pixelated colour. Pretty bad.

                          I read in another thread that the 30 disc set is the best. Who has that set, and where did they get it?

                            I have the 10 disc set. Horror Hound show $50 bucks. Only disc set I have. I dont own many discs. But I was sick of waiting. I share them with my nephews.

                            My turn to answer teh question " Why do they have thier underwear on outside of thier pants? Wheres Robins pants?"

                            I LOVE camp ! But don't do anymarthons. Its like trying to live off ramen noodles your insides will turn to mush.

                              I bought a 20 disc set years ago, couldn't wait any longer.
                              IF it ever gets released tho, I will buy the official set
