It's LaserDisc all over again. And the studios wonder why so few are adopting the new format?
Anyways, Batman original series, that might be worth a premium, but I'm not upgrading my standard def disc, which if I remember was a WalMart bargain bin purchase for $5.50.

I thought that the original DVD release of this movie was fantastic already, considering the caliber of movie it is. I loved the commentary with Adam West, great fun. I picked this up as a blind-buy bargain for around $5 at Walmart, and I certainly don't foresee double-dipping, especially at $40. I would however pay $40 to see Yvonne Craig in HD in the TV series.

I already own the previous release ($5 at Wal Mart) so even if this had been released on SD, I doubt I would've bought it anyway.

A tip whenever you see a popular movie in the $5 bin means a spec. ed. is coming out.

Would be curious to see if that gets corrected.

Apparently the standard DVD is identical to the 2001:
