I have love -hate relationship with Batman 66 and Batman silver age. I like the story of Dark Serious Batman and Light Colourful Batman. But after hearing interview Denny O'neill which he said you like Light and Colourful Batman when you're kids but when you become older and mature you don't care for that version of Batman. Remember folks, Denny O'neill bring back Batman to serious golden age storytelling. His Batman run is very underrated which feature classic story involve Ra's Al Ghul. All people remember nowadays is Frank Miller TDKR and Batman Year One but forget Denny O'neill run on Batman

Yeah, you shouldn't let other people decide for you what you like. I love O'neill, but my favorite Batman moment will always be one that involves the campy one, and I'm 32. Nothing wrong with that, at all.

Want. Want. WANT.

But don't have the $174 sitting around for it, so I'll be wanting for a good long while.

I'm really hoping this will get a non-collector's edition release on blu-ray that's just the disks without the art cards and stuff because I really cannot justify spending $175 on this.

Sweet. I am a huge fan of this series, but was going to pass on this since I got a bootleg a few years ago after despairing that they would ever give it a legitmate release. But, seeing all the nice swag that comes with it, I guess I may have to get it after all! Looks like great extras.

My favourite episode was the one where Joker tried to steal a brain-swapping machine to get into the body of the pro-surfer to win a surfing competition.

I have a lot of respect for O'Neil but as a writer and as an editor. What he says about the Batman mythos I general agrees with. However I think that the '66 show had a negative impact on him that he might have a problem letting go of. O'Neil tried in the comics to break free form the campy Batman make him into a serious and more mature character and even though this happened in the comics it didn't happen in the popular medium until the 89 movie (that is only 25 years ago - which is not that long ago when you think about it). I believe that the show and the public opinion that Batman and superheroes was camp for so long irritated him especially since this was his most active period as a writer. That does he don't have the same level of nostalgia (O'Neil was 27 in 1966) and he probably has more negative memories than positive about the series to see it in a positive light.

@g_man: I saw that they're doing individual season releases on DVD. I really hope they do them on Blu-ray too. I could swing $40 a season, but I can't manage over $200 for a box set.
