mymythos Jul 07, 2014 A word of caution to those who are (or at least seem to be) obsessed with the animated series. The animation technique used at that time, in particular the first season, may not translate well to HD. Unlike live action film, which inherently has a lot of detail, animation, specially older TV animation, was designed to have just the necessary amount of detail for a standard definition TV, and that on 29 inch sets which were considered big screens back then. It's not like Disney animations which were produced for the silver screen. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, for I love that show. Although I love the 1966 show, the animated series was the quintessential Batman, and no other incarnation depicted the character so well, but I don't want to get my hopes too high. The 1966 show, however, was shot on film and the result of the restoration looked fantastic on a standard definition stream. I can only imagine the Blu-ray. I don't know about you guys, but when they announced this release I couldn't believe it. I really didn't expect this to come out anymore, so it was a HUGE surprise. I just hope they release two kinds of sets: A collector's edition full of goodies and a standard edition for those of us who can't afford the other one. Be safe, you all.
