If you can't tell by my avatar, I'm kind of a fan. Been waiting for this for decades...

Warner Bros. Confirms A Full Box Set Of The 1960s Batman Show On DVD This Year, Finally

Sweet! Huge Batman fan myself. I am pretty partial to the Nolan Batman universe though. I know, I know, heresy!! LOL

Nah, I love the Nolan trilogy, and Burton's take as well. The '66 Bat was just my first love as a kid.

As a kid seeing the 66 Batman series I was always happy to see yvonne craig in her Batgirl costume, didn’t know why at the time.

But I figured it out later ride:ride:

Yvonne and Julie (Newmar) had that affect on a lot of us...

Yvonne Craig (Batgirl), Lee Meriwether/Julie Newmar (Catwoman) all were in the original Star Trek episodes too...

One of the best moves Seth McFarlane made was getting Adam West on board. His Mayor West character slays me every time. :lol

 

[pima1234]

Agreed! Seth is crazy and really freaking smart. (I think the same could probably be said for Mr. West)

(and yeah, the original episodes were better)

Thought you might dig some of this info, especially the quality of the HD scanning they're doing...
