    Adam West Batman Blu-ray Disc IS Coming, But... it's the '60s theatrical film

    I always enjoyed these Batman movies as a kid,I will be looking forward to seeing it in HD

    And yes, it seems from what we hear that this release IS the one that West and Ward participated in new extras for. The film, not episodes of the TV show (well, they COULD have recorded material to "bank" for an eventual clearance, but right now we only know about the film). When will it come out? We're not sure, because the studio hasn't officially announced it yet, nor have our retail contacts been given a specific date. However, it's a good guess we'll see this prior to the June 18th theatrical debut of The Dark Knight, the newest Batman film starring Christian Bale. Warner is releasing Batman Begins on Blu-ray on July 8th, so perhaps Fox will release Batman: The Movie at the same time.
