If you’re a fan of the 60s Batman TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo, then you’ll no doubt be delighted to hear that the series is finally heading to DVD this year, at least according to Conan O’Brien, who has revealed the news on Twitter.
Despite being one of the most popular shows in TV history, the Batman series has been unavailable on home video (yes, even VHS) due to complex rights issues between 20th Century Fox, ABC, Greenway Productions and DC’s parent company Warner Bros., while it’s also been suggested that some of the Bat-cameos weren’t cleared for home video release.
Whatever the problems were, these now look to have been cleared, so Bat-fans will soon be able to place the entire 120 episodes next to Batman: The Movie on their DVD shelves.
