what's funny is that I have no doubt this thread will get many more responses than the thread I posted earlier on "A Bridge Too Far."

? I know he's on Family Guy, but I don't ever recall him being on Futurama. Billy West is the actor who plays Fry/Farnsworth/Zoidberg though. Super talented guy.

Well, this is definitely good news for me. Last time I saw this was on VHS...I never had it on DVD. And I do want it. I'll watch this first, followed by BB!

Looks like this will easily be the best version of this little goofball masterpiece to ever see the light of day. AKA - it will be mine! I'd take this any day over the two Schumacher Batman movies!

Whaaaaa? Batman forever was actually kind of ok dude. Tim burton did have a hand in that movie..... executive producer I think. As for batman and robin schumacher was calling all the shots. That movie was sooooo bad. Yes I do agree 1960's batman is better then batman and robin.

this is good news, only for the fact is that the rest of that Fox listed posted the other day is probably more than a rumor, and hopefully supertroopers comes out around then as well

Fox owns the distribution rights for the Adam West Batman, whereas Warner owns the rights for Batman '89 through The Dark Knight and beyond so the release of Batman Begins and Batman '66 would have to be a coincidence or cooperation from Fox and Warner.
