Last night, while Katharine was out, I took pleasure in watching the Bluray release of Batman: The Movie from 1966.
Yes, for those people that remember it...it was the pilot movie for that campy 1960s Batman television show with Adam West and Burt Ward. I've never seen campy 1960s Batman looking so clear, thanks to Bluray. I used to watch campy 1960s Batman every morning before I went to school. ZWAP, KABAM, POW...the graphics would popup on the screen as The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, Egghead, The Bookworm, and the Mad Hatter all got their butts whooped by Batman and Robin. The colors were comic book vivid...the dialogue was cheesey as hell, but I loved it. I still love it I realized as I watched the whole hour and a half last night. Holy DVD Batman came the voice of Dick Grayson...Bruce Wayne's youthful ward, as the credits rolled for one of the many documentaries on the disc. Now if only they would release the full series on DVD...it would be awesome...but they never well because it's all caught up in licensing, ownership, and copyright battles. Bah...too many agencies getting in the way of my reliving some childhood entertainment.
