Batman Special Edition DVD
Biff! Bam! Pow! Fans eager for a special edition DVD of Batman can check the shelves at video stores on August 21 of this year.

Holy extra-features! Is this too good to be true? Maybe. The DVD is not Tim Burton's 1989 movie, but instead it's the 35th Anniversary Special Edition of 1966's Batman, The Movie.

The feature film is based on the 1960's TV show. While many fondly recall the show to be good, goofy fun, others consider it a campy disgrace to the character. There's little doubt that for several decades it's inspired journalists to begin comic-themed articles with the phrase "Biff! Bam! Pow!"

The movie features Adam West and Burt Ward as the dynamic duo, out to stop a plot by their most vile villains. The cast includes Lee Meriwether as Catwoman, Cesar Romero as The Joker, Frank Gorshin as The Riddler and Burgess Meredith as The Penguin. The fearsome foursome aim to take over the world by reducing the United Nations to dehydrated powder.

The features on the Special Edition DVD include:

Running Commentary with Stars: Adam West and Burt Ward
Tour of the Batmobile
All new Batman Featurette with Adam West and Burt Ward
