FWIW, the 1966 show is on the Canadian channel Teletoon Retro Saturday nights at 7:00 PM. You can always set your PVR to record it and then transfer it to a DVD recorder later.younger1968 said:i think it has been over 30 years since i remember seeing Batman on tv. At one time it was shown on YTV in Canada at 4-5pm. I would love to have this set, but as years past the likelihood of the release gets weaker. The generation that grew up with Batman are now in their 40-65 range and it is doubtful the youth today will be into a dated show.
Thanks for the posting, but i am ok! DVD set is more for my collection as i was huge batman fan! There are also many batman episodes on youtube as such if i really want to watch them then i have that forum as well.Sam Favate said:No one has confirmed anything about DVDs. The show is being merchandised heavily beginning this year. You can find a link to those articles in this thread. With that, speculation began that the deal that allowed the merchandising would allow the DVDs. Bill Hunt of the Digital Bits - probably the single most respected DVD news site on the internet - mentioned 2013 as a possible release for the show on DVD. Bill's not given to idle speculation. If that site mentioned it, there is at the very least some talk going on behind the scenes.
And for anybody who hasn't bought a copy of the movie on DVD or Blu-Ray yet. Batman: The Movie can be seen on Film4 from time to time. And for those of you who are interested in what could be included in a release of the series. Here is a cracking thread from the 1966 forums that may be of some interest to you. http://66batman.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=673SimonTemplar said:ITV 4 are screening 2 episodes of Batman daily here in the UK. Is it me or have these prints been DNRed to death. Although the picture is clean there is no depth or detail at any point. I do hope these are not HD masters made for a potential DVD or BD release.
Hardly surprising, as I still find a 2013 release of Batman to be 99.9% unlikely anyway, regardless of the deal that was struck to approve other merchandise. Home video rights are an entirely different kettle of fish.Sam Favate said:It probably means nothing, but Time Life's announcement of the China Beach complete series probably means TL won't be handling a '66 Batman release, should it happen, this year.
The article at the link states that an original Batman costume will be displayed from the Paul Allen collection (I think he owns the Cinerama too). So, if Paul Allen is a Batman fan, perhaps he could just buy 20th Century Fox and release the show himself.Guy Foulard said:A chance to see the 1966 Batman movie with Batman and Robin in attendance at the Cinerama in Seattle on 2/28: http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/special-events/a-gotham-night-in-the-emerald-city/
I took my little girl to a local theater where the just showed the blu ray on the big screen. She really enjoyed it, and it wasn't from an original print with Adam West and Burt Ward in attendence. You should go. If I were anywhere near I would.Jason_V said:I'm really debating going to see the movie in a few weeks. Dang, the more I think of it, the more I just want to pull the trigger!
