[Darren Nemeth]

Maybe I missed it in this thread but is Yvonne Craig going to be a part of this release??

Who's James Blakely?!

He was post production supervisor for the season one and two episodes and was the editor for several season three episodes.

As far as extras go, she isn't interviewed or featured in any (aside from some clips from the show they will no doubt be using).

Price for the Blu-Ray seems to be settled at $180. Was hoping it would drop to $150.

Word is that you can get the German bare bones Blu-ray for about $100 shipped on Amazon.de.

85.99€ for BLU ray

While the Dvd is listed, no price is given...

A second BLU Ray listing gives the same price

Release date is 20-11-2014

I think there were placeholder listings, then these were replaced by new listings, but the originals were not removed. I saw the same on the U.S. site

[batbelfry]

not that the prices they show are anything to get excited about, but http://www.dvdpricesearch.com is now listing both the DVD and Blu-rays for Batman the Complete series.

It's odd...when you do the comparison, they don't list Amazon, which they historically have.

And of course, it's certainly possible that the best prices may turn up on Costco's shelves the weekend before the show comes out.

I decided to cancel my pre-order for the set for the time being. $180 is just too much. If it drops to $150 or below I'll get it on release day.

I saw an infomercial last night at 3AM Adam West plugging the DVD sets for 5 easy payment for $19.99 each. I wonder if it's per disc or per season or TOTAL?

Antman, there's a thread about that deal here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3169
It's $100 (five payments of $19,99) for the whole first season, and roughly half of the second season. You can get the entire series on dvd (not sure the price of that) or blu ray (for $5 cheaper than the current Amazon price). Looks like the special features are the same, but you get a personalized letter from Adam West and a reproduction script from an episode with this deal. I'm sticking with my Amazon blu ray order. I know I'm going to get it on release day that way.

I'd be really surprised if the set doesn't drop down to close to $150 by release day. The only way I think it couldn't would be if pre-order sales are weak. Let's hope that the PR and sales pick up in the next couple of weeks. I'll still buy it regardless but it would be less painful.

As I'm sure (like everyone else) I have my TVLAND copies but I'm going to wait for the DVD prices to go down. Maybe next year or so? I found the infomercial very interesting though. I really enjoyed how Adam pointed out mistakes made that were left into the show and how some lines that were improvised. Pretty cool.

Here's a question I have: Will the trading cards that come with the (standard) blu-ray set be the same as the ones that were re-issued in 1989 (when the first Burton movie came out)?

[Spikor1982]

most likely.

im really tempted to cancel my amazon, and get the batmanondvd.com set, doing 35.00/month is more appealing that dropping 180 in a few weeks.

The BATMANONDVD payment plan is great if you're on a budget but I doubt it ships until you've paid all the payments. It's pretty rare for a company to ship anything that hasn't been paid for yet, so you'd be waiting another four or five months (no biggie for what we've waited so far) but just a heads up.

Personally, I started dropping a few bucks in a cowl back when they announced this last January, amazing how easy it is to save $10-$20 here and there just by cutting out buying lunch and coffee and bringing my own.
