5.0 out of 5 stars The Adventures Of Batman, November 25, 2009
This review is from: The Adventures of Batman Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
This series is so much fun to watch and brings back so many memories! Batman, Robin, Batgirl Commissioner Gordon and even a goofy Chief O'Hara!(in some episodes) They're all here, saving the streets of Gotham City from Batman's well-know arch enemies. The Joker, Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler and more. This light-hearted, original cartoon version of the Caped Crusader's escapades is a must have for any true Batman fan. The only drawback is that all the episode are only available for download through Amazon / itunes, but have yet to be sold on DVD...I'm sure a DVD version is soon to come!

4.0 out of 5 stars DVD -- when?!!!, October 11, 2011
This review is from: The Adventures of Batman Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I consider the 60s episodes superior to the 70s shows that have been released. I know the 70s have Adam West and Bruce Ward as voice talent, but the 70s shows were too corny. Plus, the 60s shows were very reflective of the Batman series at that time. Catwoman is even in her short-lived green catsuit! It's bad enought the 60s live action show isn't on DVD, but at least the animated series should be.
