I had heard some of the Batman animated series was being released on dvd. Does anyone know when and how many episodes are coming?
I thought this disc was merely a test disc to see if theres a market for season box sets, like what they're doing with B5.
I may have said this on another thread, but if that is the case, I still don't understand that theory. The people that want boxed sets are more likely to not buy single discs because they're waiting for the sets.
That said, I probably will be picking up this disc. :rolleyes
I believe Tony is correct and that On Leather Wings did get aired on a Friday at 7 PM, shortly before the first part of The Cat And The Claw. I haven't been able to find any verification of this in any of the number of episode guides floating around online, but I'm positive that's the case.
"The Cat and the Claw, Part I" aired on Saturday, 9/5/1992, followed by "On Leather Wings" the next day, Sunday, 9/6, with "Heart of Ice" being the first weekday episode on 9/7. The coffee table behind-the-scenes book by Paul Dini, Batman: Animated, verifies the info along with the IMDB entry.
The first season, according to the book, has 60 episodes, the last one airing on 5/24/1993. Season 2 started in December of that year, for another 10 episodes ending with Harlequinade on 5/23/1994. Season 3 picks up on 9/10/1994 with the name change to The Adventures of Batman and Robin and goes for another 15 episodes, the last 5 being held up for almost a year.
In the original broadcast order, Kate Mulgrew's Red Claw ushers the series in and out, appearing in both "The Cat and the Claw" and "The Lion and the Unicorn"
a always remebered that the first show aired on a sunday night at 7 eastern time. but the more i think about it i think my copy of that show whatever it was got messed up in some way. so now i cant remember what that first airing was

I'll be picking up all 5 of the Batman discs for sure, but I'd still like to have season box sets of the show.
