That's what he means! Shark repellent and all. 
I actually saw this movie in high-def a while back. It looks a lot better than you might expect from a 42-year-old flick. |

I already own this on DVD and think it is a lovely fun film. Fantastic for the kids too. It's quite coincidental that I have watching the repeats of the TV series on BBC Four.
Defo a Saturday morning film for me and one for my list.
...to the Bat Cave Boy Wonder. |

Robin: Holy Blu-ray, Batman! We really SMASHED that villainous HD-DVD threat.
Batman: You're certainly right, ol' chum. And we didn't even have to use our utility belts, just good common sense.

Instead of giving these many special features on classics Fox can try to offer the same on the recent titles. Damn you FOX. |

This is going to be great. I saw this on INHD last year on Dish Network and the high def transfer is amazing! Great to have the music score isolated and in DTS MA audio.
The reason Fox is not releasing the tv series on blu-ray, or that they havn't even released it on dvd, is that, from what I read, Warner won't let them because they own the Batman rights. My brother is an avid fan of the Adam West Batman and has researched why this wasn't released as a series tv dvd set. Which makes me wonder how they have released the movie. |
