Good news for fans of the original "Batman" TV show. No, the camp classic still not been cleared for DVD release. A combination of rights issues and in-house concerns over at Time-Warner have kept the show from being collected on DVD, and there's no immediate resolution on the horizon.

On the bright side, 'Batman: The Movie', the 1966 spinoff film of the show, is making its Blu-ray debut Tuesday, July 1st. I've seen this movie about a dozen times and it never ceases to entertain me. The Blu-ray version comes in widescreen format with remastered sound. It also gives you the option to cut out the dialogue and just watch the film with the score only. Extra features include "Batman: A Dynamic Legacy", "Caped Crusaders: A Heroes Tribute," a 360-degree tour of the Batmobile, and commentary from stars Adam West and Burt Ward.

While I'm a huge fan of the current Bat-films and believe Batman/Bruce Wayne works best as a dark, serious character, how can you not love Adam West with the Bat-belly? That and the shark he fights off in this film are worth the price of the Blu-ray. Here are some clips if you somehow aren't convinced you should buy it:
