Batman '66: FINALLY COMING TO HOME VIDEO (legitimately)

DC Comics just retweeted the announcement.

This probably would have excited me before they started re-running the **** out of it on tv over the last few years.

Finally! I'm all in.

Yep, and this seals it:

I'm just wondering if we'll see it on DVD or Blu-Ray (or both).

Definitely picking up the BR. It'll be great to see those old episodes cleaned up.

Hell yes! A friend and I are arguing over whether or not a Blu-Ray release is going to happen. I say it is, but he thinks there's too much restorative work needed and it'd be too costly to pull off. I'm thinking they're going to pull out all the stops, though. Frankly, this is a pretty historic moment.

Imagine the uproar if this was only released on DVD.

That's what I've been arguing with a friend of mine. I keep saying that that'd be like only releasing it on VHS in 2003.

I do hope that it's not one giant collector's set and indivual seasons are also available.

I'm sure they're going to go all out on this. It's probably why they decided to license figures to begin with.

I hope we get commentary by West and Ward on at least a few episodes.

If they don't, that means they're going to do an Ultra Collector's Platinum ***-raping 84-disc Diamond Special Uncut Director's Edition at some point.

With 3D, 4K, and 2D Blu-Rays with Digital Copies and DVDs. Honestly, though, even with all of that, I don't think you could get 84-discs out of 3 seasons.

Don't forget black & white and Ultraviolet.

I don't think they ever aired in Black and White, did they? To be fair, though, it would be kind of badass if they released a massive 75th anniversary set with all three seasons, the seven live action movies, and The Animated Series on Blu-Ray. Speaking of live action movies, I wonder if Fox still has the rights to the film? The HT figure is based on the film, yet it's licensed by WB.

So are you guys saying I should wait?

Nope. I'd say we've all waited long enough (particularly you fellas who've been waiting since 1966).

Finally! I'll be buying this

Nah, one and done.

Purchased for sure. Great news... Just in time for HT 1/6th release. POW!
