Holy 40th Anniversary, Batman!



Yeah, that's the lamest, most obvious headline ever.

But the Batman TV show debuted 40 years ago, so let's all celebrate tonight by sitting down on the couch, slipping the first disk of the "Batman - The Complete First Season" DVD set into the player and... there's no DVD set? Wha? Warner/Universal/DC still haven't got their act together to make some money when Every Single Other Lame TV Series is out on DVD already?

Oh well.

You'll have to make due with last weekend's This is Pop! Saturday Picture Page, featuring images from the classic series. If you blink really fast and shake your head violently it's almost like they're moving. Tune in this Saturday for even more pics.

Also check out part one of Dial B for Blog's history of the Batman show and TIP's list of the Best Batman Site's on the Web.
