Gandos: Time Warner's lawyers must have been working overtime to cut through this intricate web of legal disputes in order to make this possible.
rtcvb32: And only people who actually have watched the show would enjoy the novelty of watching it again... while younger generations will probably watch
friends, or
saved by the bell,
The Big Bang Theory or something equally entertaining.
A good portion of the 1960's batman series seemed off the wall and silly to me; Although i honestly haven't seen very much of it....
Depends on which younger generation you're referring to. As much as I love
Friends, it's not a show that holds much relevance nowadays, especially since it has been copied and imitated endlessly. Much like
Seinfeld, time has made it a victim of its own success.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how people used to how Batman is portrayed in the
Dark Knight saga will react to his much more lighthearted and goofy presentation in the 60's show. Though I will say that Batman is one of the rare superheroes that are quite flexible in terms of mood and atmosphere; he can work in both campy and gritty type of works. Other superheroes, like Superman, don't really have this benefit (needless to say, I didn't think the direction
Man of Steel took was a smart one).
