Is the film worth buying or not?

Look at the review

ps3bd_owner · 09-03-2011, 05:47 PM

^ Thanks for the tip.

Being used to watch Batman films like The Dark Knight and then seeing this, it is quite a change.

Think I'll skip.

I don't believe it is confusing. The first comment is for the U.S. release, with a link, while the second comment is for the UK release.

Not confusing just conflicting. The thread is in the UK section and you gave an answer for the US release (forgive if it was posted elsewhere) then manicsounds comes in with the region B info.

Both perfectly correct but how often do you get a chance to say "Holy conflicting region codong Batman!" and not sound crazy? Which I now do....

Fantastic fun film though whichever region you buy it for. Just one of those films and TV series which should bring a smile to everyones face....

I understand. However, the OP did not clarify which release he was interested in, and as far as I know he is not based in the U.S. Hence, the reason why I linked the U.S. release.

Either way, he has info for both releases now.

Which is all that counts at the end of the day. Perhaps he liked the 'edgier' US cover?

I did a quick search hoping the TV series might be released but it seems Adam West has been doing stuff for the Adam West Diaries which he hopes will be a companion (or part of it) to the TV series if that ever gets released.

That was three years ago though.

Sorry Mate, I am from Region A. I saw this UK site offering this title at only 3.69pound and was eager to get it. If it is Region locked, then is no go for me. Don't have a region-free player. Thanks everybody..

Fancy popping up a link?

WiggyWig · 08-23-2016, 06:30 PM

Whats the story with this release? 4k restoration?

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Batma...lu-ray/162236/

The link to Amazon goes to Return of the Caped Crusaders, but the description matches the Adam West Batman movie plot. Soo confusing.

Well i thought that it may have been. But as i said that means bluray.com is completely wrong with the film description/ pictures etc as that matches the 60s movie as does Amazons plot description

So thought id double check as i thought i heard mention of a 4k restoration a few months ago for the 60s movie

The ASIN and EAN's have been mixed-up during submission. I'll try and fix it.
