With perfectly pitched scripts and the iconic high-camp cleverness of its “Pow!” “Thwack!” “Zap!” graphics, Batman leaped from the comic books to our living rooms as one of TV’s most beloved hits.]]> Review: Holy 120 episodes, Batman - a great collection! - Like many Batfans who grew up watching the Adam West-Burt Ward version of the Dynamic Duo, which originally ran on ABC-TV from January 1966 until March 1968, and is still in reruns on the Memorable Entertainment Television (MeTV) digital classic television network, I am delighted that this great series is finally out on DVD (and Blu-ray). Although I have not watched all of the episodes - that will take some time - I am very impressed with what I have seen so far; the quality is far superior to the MeTV repeats. All 120 episodes are here, divided up as follows: Season 1 is on 5 DVDs, Season 2, which had the most episodes, is spread over 8 DVDs, and Season 3 (the Batgirl era) has four discs of episodes, plus a bonus disc of special features including mini-documentaries on Adam West's life and career; the explosion of Batman memorabilia since 1966; reminisces from the show's stars, including West, Ward, and Catwoman Julie Newmar; current Hollywood stars discussing their favorite Batman moments; a segment where West reads from his annotated script of the two-part pilot, while watching the actual episodes (this is as close as we get to a commentary track on the episodes; sadly, there are none on the regular DVDs); outtakes from the vault, and much more. Warner Home Video and Twentieth Century-Fox have teamed up to do a great job on this series, which includes a softcover guide to all 120 episodes in chronological order, and descriptions of the bonus material that follows. If you don't want to shell out for the whole series in one fell swoop, a separate volume for Batman: Season 1 is available now; Batman: Season 2 Part One will be available on February 17, with the second part of Season 2 and Season 3 to follow soon after that. I would also recommend Batman - The Movie (Holy Special Edition Batman!) ; that is also very entertaining. Five stars for this whole package. DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA - BATMAN!! UPDATE: There are a couple of minor errors with this package - one with the missing narration at the beginning of the first episode, "Hi Diddle Riddle," and the second on the episode "Marsha's Scheme of Diamonds." Though it only represents about 5 minutes of footage, Warner Brothers Customer Service is offering replacement discs. Go to their Web site for additional details and how to register to obtain the replacements. I received the replacement discs (Discs 1 and 8) several weeks ago. R.I.P., Batgirl (Yvonne Craig), who passed away on August 17, 2015. You were loved by everyone, and will be missed. And now, R.I.P. Adam West, who joined Yvonne in Heaven on June 9, 2017, age 88. Hope you two are getting reacquainted! Adam West, was, and will always be, the definitive Caped Crusader, as far as I am concerned. The more recent incarnations (Micheal Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney Tunes, Christian Bale, etc.) are just too dark and violent for my taste. Review: Fond memories of a great campy show - Being just eight when this show debuted, it was my first exposure to the character of Batman, and I was quite surprised, years later, when I found out Batman had been penned in the comics as "The Dark Knight". There is absolutely nothing dark about Adam West's rendition of the character. In this age of infomercials and reality TV, reruns have become a thing of the past, but I've really been enjoying revisiting the show via the newly released DVDs of this short-lived sensation. Looking back on this show nearly 50 years later, I just don't know how the players kept a straight face with their intentionally cheesy lines. Neil Hamilton, a film actor of some prominence from the silent era through the 1930's, is just great as the stone-faced Commissioner Gordon. I didn't even know his place in film history until years later when I got into classic films. And as for Adam West, I've always admired his great positive attitude about his short lived fame. Through the years he's often parodied his role in commercials and you could tell he was really enjoying himself and poking fun at the character he once played. The DVDs have a long interview with Adam West and he really is a great guy. Now in his 80's, West just said he felt very fortunate to have had work as an actor throughout his career, to have good friends and a great family, and to have been part of such a big part of 60's TV culture, even if for a short time - what a class act who did not let fame go to his head. Now for the show itself. Everybody wanted to be a guest star villain, and many did. As well as the original villains from the Batman comics such as the Riddler, The Penguin, and The Joker, there were some added that were unique to the series such as Victor Buono as King Tut. The odd thing about Tut was that the show actually showed the origin of Tut as a criminal - a respected Egyptologist who was hit on the head and became an arch criminal when not in his right mind. He was also one of the rare villains for which Batman seemed to have compassion. Nobody ever wondered why The Joker wandered around in loud suits and makeup or why The Penguin never got tired of smoking cigarettes ala FDR and wearing a tux. Then there is Robin, who is actually Batman's young ward Dick Grayson. Dick is actually in high school, and at Wayne mansion Bruce Wayne is always lecturing Dick about the importance of good diet, exercise, education and seat belts. Yet, that doesn't prevent Bruce Wayne as Batman from putting someone not of legal age repeatedly in harm's way. And harm never seemed to mean mere gun play. Instead it was the danger of being eaten by giant clams or being sawed in half by a buzz saw. You couldn't say Gotham's criminals lacked imagination. Finally an observation about Batman in relation to "Wild Wild West", both of which aired at about the same time in the 1960's. Wild Wild West had good ratings, but the show's producers decided to cancel because CBS said the show was too violent, when the fight scenes were no worse than Batman's fight scenes. Maybe they should have added some cartoon KAPOW!, OUCH! and POW!. Seriously, add those captions into the Wild Wild West fight scenes and you would have had the same thing. So if you have some time and spare cash, get the Batman DVDs and watch one of the great fads of television that people still remember fondly 50 years later. And see if you notice the little jokey touches like Ma Barker's buxom daughter's prison number being "35-23-34" and the fact that Robin's bat pole was smaller than Batman's pole. Phallic humor for the ages. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00U0QQWK6 | | Actors | Various | | Best Sellers Rank | #113,980 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #10,585 in Action & Adventure DVDs #12,459 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,386) | | Director | Various | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 883929469109 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 18 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | March 3, 2015 | | Run time | 50 hours and 19 minutes | | Studio | WarnerBrothers | | Subtitles: | French, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Various - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Action & Adventure, Comedy - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 18 ## Images ![Batman: The Complete Television Series (Replacement/DVD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zTILDrNkL.jpg) ![Batman: The Complete Television Series (Replacement/DVD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wEHXDoyoL.jpg) ![Batman: The Complete Television Series (Replacement/DVD) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Vibx5h3BL.jpg) ![Batman: The Complete Television Series (Replacement/DVD) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9184YEBB7hL.jpg) ![Batman: The Complete Television Series (Replacement/DVD) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ElUr5B6iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy 120 episodes, Batman - a great collection! *by S***S on November 15, 2014* Like many Batfans who grew up watching the Adam West-Burt Ward version of the Dynamic Duo, which originally ran on ABC-TV from January 1966 until March 1968, and is still in reruns on the Memorable Entertainment Television (MeTV) digital classic television network, I am delighted that this great series is finally out on DVD (and Blu-ray).

West’s portrayal as the Caped Crusader brings a unique charm and a sense of humor that distinguishes this series from other Batman adaptations. His performance is lauded for being both earnest and tongue-in-cheek, providing a balance that suits the colorful and sometimes absurd world of Gotham as depicted in the 1960s. The series is famous for its catchphrases, inventive fight scenes filled with onomatopoeic words, and its vibrant, comic book-inspired aesthetic. Many appreciate the show for its nostalgic value and its ability to entertain audiences of all ages. Adam West's Batman is iconic, embodying a lighter, more playful side of the Dark Knight, making the series a timeless gem in the superhero genre. ## Frequently Bought Together - Batman: The Complete Television Series [DVD] - The Munsters: The Complete Series [DVD] - Gilligan's Island: The Complete Series Collection (Repackage) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/68378432-batman-the-complete-television-series-replacement-dvd](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/68378432-batman-the-complete-television-series-replacement-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
