I hope it includes the never shown on television episode of Batgirl pilot. Batman and Robin help Batgirl battle Killer Moth in that one.

 

 

:cloud9:

 

Wow, I've never seen that before, it was great!

 

Loved how Barbara Gordon was changing into Batgirl, with a kidnapping going on, but she still took the time to carefully hang up her jacket. Just because there's crime afoot doesn't mean you can be a slob!

 

"Is that your youthful ward, D ick Grayson?" lol

Every Saturday night it's on MeTV. :applause:

 

True, but in good ole SD. The story said "The series has been fully remastered in HD and will come with brand new special features" so that should be nice.

OOO0000oooooo, that's a little steep to watch Chief O'Hara bumble about. I mean I bought a brand-new repressed complete series of The Greatest American Hero for $5 (in tax-free NH).

 

I thought the same thing. But since it has been so long since all of these episodes could be viewed back-to-back in any order you like, they must be assuming people will pay a premium. At least, in the initial few years.

 

I'm sure the folks over at batman1966.com will be buying these up quite rapidly.

I'm kinda surprised there's so much fan-love for this show on a comic book board. This is the show hobbyists have been trying to live down for decades now, with virtually every hobby-news story beginning with "Bam!", "Pow!" :eyeroll:

 

The show is what it is, but, yeah, it's been largely how the public sees collectors too. Old chum. :facepalm:

Because some of us were so young when we watched the reruns we had no idea that it was meant to be a comedy. When you get old enough to realize it, the first reaction is WTF? But then, as you get still older, you realize that the show is actually pretty funny(at times, hilarious), and at the same time it's more faithful to the Batman comic books than almost any other live action version. It's not the definitive Batman, but it's fun for what it is.

My cringe-response to that clip is involuntary. :eek: Sorry.

 

Plus I'll never forgive Batman for ruining another favorite childhood show: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Season 1 was straight up cool, Season 2 slid into cheesey camp slapstick bs, thanks to Batman popularity. :mad:

 

Reading the Batman wiki , it was supposed to be the other way around.

 

ABC executive Yale Udoff, a Batman fan in his childhood, attended one of these parties at the Playboy Club and was impressed with the reaction the serials were eliciting. He contacted ABC executives Harve Bennett and Edgar J. Scherick, who were already considering developing a television series based on a comic strip action hero, to suggest a prime time Batman series in the hip and fun style of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

 

But, then...

 

ABC and Fox were expecting a hip and fun—yet still serious—adventure show. However, Dozier, who had never before read comic books, concluded, after reading several Batman comics for research...

 

And the rest is pop culture history.

For a little kid, the show was colorful and it was fun. Adults thought it was funny. So it appealed on different levels. For me, it's nostalgia as much as anything. Without the Batman TV show(and the Spider-Man cartoon), I don't know if I would have ever been interested in comics. I was reading the Neal Adams Batman comics at the same time as I was watching the reruns, and to a seven year old, the difference was noticeable, but only in superficial ways(Joker killed people in the comics, not on the show, and so on).

All I know is that, as long as I have 180 extra bucks the week this is released, I'll be getting it.
