and I did a search for it on google and came across an eBay listing.


$6 was the winning bid for one of them! and here we payed 39 cents! That person made a profit of probably at least $5. Well, I guess that's eBay for 'ya. -rolleyes-

In any case, he's playing himself in "Family Guy" so how is that any different anyway? He's playing the guy that played "Batman" 40 years ago on a show that's moderately successful at best. Washed-up? Definitely.

The video quality looks like dupes of tapes, and some of it just home video footage, but still for the price its a must own if your looking for adam west batman.



-it starts with a clip of the first appearance of batgirl

-then shows a US wage & labor ad starring Batman & Robin tied up while Batgirl ask for equal pay for women

-then multiple version of the theatrical movie trailer/promos in multiple lanuages

-Then an appearance by Adam West at a trade show IN COSTUME...he says something to the extent of I've been doing this 22 years, which puts this appearance about 1987-89. He makes some inuendos to the ladies, and pokes fun at some kids...its pretty amazing. This is prime example of being washed up, before his combeback through other means (like family guy).

-Then behind the scenes footage of some sort of interviews. Conducted in front of the batmobile on set with a bat cave. Not sure if this was a reunion show or what...Wasn't Return to the Batcave, seemed before that, as cast members who were dead at that point are in the cast.

I have a feeling this dvd will get pulled

The clip features Burt Ward and Yvonne Craig, but Dick Gautier is under the Batman cowl in place of Adam West.

But seriously, I wish this would come out already. I have, ahem, seen the less scrupulant versions, and they are obviously buyer beware--lots of skipping on my DVD players and a few episodes won't even play. I'm not condoning those versions, I'm just saying.

We find a reputable vendor with quality products and stick with him... he sells a lot of stuff to us, and we get great stuff at cheap prices.
