Outstanding work, Dave. This is the best summation of the situation I have ever read, and I have been following this story since the first TV-on-DVD set arrived circa 2000. Let's hope that, maybe, if true, the Watchmen thing will at least start a chain of events that leads to the release.

See above discussion in this thread for rights and contracts for movies being different than those for TV shows.

Dave, I'm curious as to your opinion on whether the show will ever be released on DVD? You've seen and read a lot more about these kinds of things than most others, so do you think it will eventually get worked out? Sorry to put you on the spot, but just wondering.

Wow! Thanks for the word Ron! (And Bill!) As I said in a post in the "shows you want on DVD thread," THIS is the moment of supreme Batmania, with the unparalleled success of the Dark Knight movie. By not having the series out in time for the movie, the studios lost a significant window of...
