Well it was a movie, so no need to be the same.

I hope there's a feature that details everything they had to do to clear up all the rights to release this

Whoa! Thanks for this, saved $40 over Amazon.

For those who like the art on the Batman cards, I recommend this book on the artist, Norman Saunders. He also worked on the Mars Attacks and Wacky Packages cards.

Will the eps have black bars on the side or will it be in FS?

Black bars on the sides. 4:3 original aspect ratio.

That stinks that it won't be in FS, but, as long as the pq is top notch or close to it, I'll let the 4:3 slide.

What do you mean you'll "let it slide"? This was NEVER intended for widescreen!!

Yeah, but it would've been easy to crop a little off the top and bottom so that it would fill up the whole screen. They could've updated the special effects with CGI as well. WB really dropped the ball on this.

Yeah, it's so easy. I wonder why they didn't do that.

You're joking, right?

[Beachguy]

I just pre-ordered.

I saw a clip on youtube of the Joker terrified of the Batpole and knew I had to order. Campy as flying fudge...

I saw various episodes of this as a kid. My favorite thing from the 60's is The Addams Family.

So, I figure it will be right up my alley.

I haven't seen a lot from the 60's but this camp seems like the perfect fit for me. I'll put it next to Sleepaway Camp 2 and the Pee Wee show.

Sometime it's hard to believe how people get upset about the stupidest little things. It's too expensive. The car is cheap. The art is bad. The cards are reproductions and not originals. And not it's not widescreen.

Come on, people. It was originally made with standard 4:3 TVs.
