I remember when FX used to show it on TV I'm not going to lie I watched it the movie too. Guess it helps I was a kid.

and apparently this is going to become a huge wave of merch this year, a line of 6 inch figures is due out in the fall, and also hot toys will be making a line from this series.

Always wonder whats the deal why it never got a dvd release 20th Century Fox owns the distribution rights to the series. It's always been believed that WB, who owns DC Comics, and thus, has control over the Batman property, prevented Fox from releasing the show on DVD for one reason or nothing. Although, I don't think that's the reason. I think it has more to do with Greenway Productions, which would explain why The Green Hornet TV series also isn't out on DVD officially. Since Fox had more control over the movie, it didn't prevent them from releasing it on DVD, and later, Blu-ray. It's a shame, cause I'd grab the TV series in a heartbeat. |

Always wonder whats the deal why it never got a dvd release The show was originally produced by Fox, while DC and all of its characters are owned by Warner Bros. Fox and WB have never been able to come to an agreement over who gets the bigger slice of the pie from a potential home video release, so it's currently held up in legal limbo. |

Still probably tied with B:TAS and barely ahead of the Brave and the Bold show as my favorite version of the Batman universe ever. I'd take '66 Batman over the Nolan-verse any day, but I'm a big fan of the silver age stuff. Comics taking themselves too seriously is a huge turn-off for me. |

I enjoyed it as a kid but when I watched a couple of episodes recently, it was just way too goofy for me to enjoy. Its not a case of Batman needing to be super serious as I've seen a few episodes of TBATB and I've enjoyed that, its just......not very good in my opinion

There is even a homage to the 'throwing the bomb in the water scene' in DCUO.

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
I love this show. It's campy as heck, but it's just so damn fun.
What about some of the guest-stars? Cesar Romero, Eartha Kitt, Vincent f***ing Price! Incredible!

It is a shame it only lasted 2 seasons. I too love this show and watched it when I was a kid.

But they came to an agreement for Batman the movie! I think that's where Greenway Productions - the TV distributor - comes in. As far as I can tell, they had nothing to do with the movie; hence, the movie is on DVD.  |

One of my favorite shows ever, pure campy action. The villains were cool too I always liked King Tut and Adam West will always be at least to me remembered for this show

The day this is released on DVD I'm buying about 3 copies.
They used to play it in the afternoons after school and it was a huge part of my childhood.
