Batman TV series finally being released!

[Scatter]

I bought the Batmobile for the figure set online for a little over $50. It's pretty damn awesome, though has some slight inaccuracies (that 99% of people wouldn't even notice).

The large scale Adam West figure from NECA is great, too. I found it for $79. Here is the figure with "Bat Hound" (aka my dog)...

MAN...........that is a GREAT figure!!

I haven't heard an "official" release yet but there is another NYCC coming this summer--hopefully they'll be some news then.

Seriously though I hope Adam West gets a nice cut from this. The guy gets almost no credit, especially from hardcore comic book and Bat fans. If you say Bixbi/Ferrigno/Hulk..it always carries WAY more respect than West/Batman does. Obviously 2 completely different shows but I just think Adam West should get a bit more respect for his role as Batman. Throw the guy a bone, Ferrigno had a small cameo in Hulk and I heard West wanted one for Dark Knight but was laughed out of the office.

End of the day, he still had the best Batmobile!

The fools! There's only ONE Batman & his initials are Adam West!!

I still won't believe it until it's in my hands.

Same here. Too bad greed got in the way and it will hurt them in the end.  10 years ago when DVDs started appearing on store shelves, think of all those people who could not see this series on the shelf even as an impulse buyer.

Not everyone is a fan on a forum. Many are from the generation when the show first aired and are a browser shopper who would say "oh, I used to love that show as child, maybe I can share it with my kids."  I wonder what the sales loss would come to if they totaled up that market for all those years it wasn't available. 10 years is a long time for a lost market.

It was not just a TV series. Like it or not, it was a cultural phenomenon at the time it first aired and it stylistically impacted movies and other TV shows and even resuscitated the comic books.  A decade  is a long time to wait for a piece of American culture, especially when you consider that many of your potential buyers have literally been dying off.

Such a tragic waste for everyone, both buyer and seller.

I agree, people don't buy DVD's like they used to. That said when I buy this set it will be my third set. The 1st is a set with the TV Land logo in the corner the 2nd bootleg is a better set but still not great!

Depending on when you got the TV Land version, it could have been heavily edited because when it aired there were 4 minutes more of commercials than the original 1960s broadcast.
In addition, in some versions the frame rate was sped up to compress the time to fit it all in. So Adam West sometimes sounds like Mickey Mouse and Burt Ward sounds like...well...Burt Ward.
