Batman: Petition to Release the Classic Adam West Series!

Trevor Kimball

16 years ago

The Batman TV series became an instant hit when it debuted in 1966. Ever since that time, audiences of all ages have fallen in love with the campy villains, high adventure, and family-friendly heroics.

Unfortunately, because of copyright ownership issues, the series has not been released on DVD and it’s not looking like we’ll see it in stores for a long time to come.

Can’t we all just get along?

To: 20th Century Fox Television, Warner Bros., and DC Comics

We, the undersigned, have long enjoyed the classic Batman series starring Adam West and Burt Ward. We would love to own the series on DVD so that we can watch high-quality versions of this family-friendly show.

We ask that you please find a way to work out the legal and financial issues that are preventing the three seasons of Batman from being issued on DVD. There is a large audience who is ready to purchase these sets. By not releasing the series, everybody loses.

Thank you for your consideration.

To Warner Bros. and Fox: Stop holding this series hostage and release it on dvd and blu-ray already! If you were able to agree and put the 1966 film on dvd, then this should not be a problem. And while you're at it, release the Green Hornet on dvd as well.

I pledge to never watch another Warner Brothers, Fox, or DC comics movie or television show, buy a cd or dvd owned by you, or even tune into your crappy TV channels until this series is released on dvd. You have had enough time to figure this out already, this is it.
