If you're a Batman Fan like me and purchased Batman: The Complete Television Series on Blu-Ray or DVD, you undoubtedly noticed the defects in the product instantly. Namely, missing narration from Executive Producer William Doziers voice over as Desmond Doomsday in the pilot episode, the majority of the next weeks villain bumpers, and the missing scene from the Marsha, Queen of Diamonds, episode and were also left wondering...Has Warner Brothers dropped the ball? Is this our just deserts after waiting so long for our beloved series to come to DVD? Will we ever be able to really get the complete television series?

Here's the original press release regarding the problems and the fixes:

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) will provide fans with replacement discs and digital repairs to the few minor technical issues identified in its recent release of Batman: The Complete Television Series.

Amounting to less than five minutes of footage within the 50-plus hours of entertainment, the issues encompass one 60-second dropped scene in the episode entitled “Marsha’s Scheme of Diamonds”; a brief piece of rarely-heard William Dozier narration that originally opened the pilot episode, “Hi Diddle Riddle”; and an assembly of villain tags from the end of assorted episodes.

“The restoration process of this footage – spanning 48 years and two major studios – has been a super heroic task, and we deeply regret even the smallest of glitches occurring in that process,” said Rosemary Markson, Senior Vice President, TV Brand Management & Retail Marketing, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. “We recognize our obligation to the fans of this landmark series, and we have worked diligently to identify all issues and provide resolutions as quickly as possible.”

To resolve these issues for consumers purchasing Batman: The Complete Television Series, WBHE will make available complete replacement discs for the discs that originally included the episodes “Marsha’s Scheme of Diamonds” and “Hi Diddle Riddle.” The villain tags will be re-issued as an assembled string on one of the aforementioned discs and, as an added bonus, WBHE has acquired rights and legal clearances to both a Bat-vehicle teaser that originally aired as part of the second season-opening “Shoot A Crooked Arrow” episode, and one of the original promotional tags that aired on the original showing of the “The Duo Defy” episode. Additionally, all fixes will be made to all Digital HD versions of Batman: The Complete Television Series.

To obtain the replacement discs, consumers who have purchased Batman: The Complete Television Series are directed to http://www.warnerbros.com/help/customer-service.

Worldwide demand for the Limited Edition box set of Batman: The Complete Television Series has been tremendous, resulting in widespread retailer sellouts and rapidly dwindling inventories heading into the holiday season. To fulfill consumer interest, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced a new streamlined Blu-ray™ box set that includes all 120 episodes and matching enhanced content from the limited edition set, but without the added premium items or Digital HD copy. Purchasers of this set will also need to utilize the customer service website to obtain replacement discs.

The Dark Knight Returns Fangasmic Giveaway Winner

We have a winner of the Batcave Toy Room February 2013 giveaway and the winner is Tim Enders . Thanks to Tim and everyone else for playing along. The correct answer to the question of how I started using the phrase "Fangasmic" was from Detective Comics #1 and was spoken by The Joker. I hope Tim enjoys his copy of the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack.

Win a Free Blu Ray Copy of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Part 2'

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 was released last week on January 29, 2013, but if you haven't picked up your copy yet, here's your chance to win a copy from the Batcave Toy Room.

I loved this Frank Miller classic since it was published back in 1986 and I think it is super cool to be able to watch it in an animated format. Michael Uslan, the executive producer of the Batman films since 1989, has recently stated one of his dream Batman projects would be a live action version of The Dark Knight Returns starring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker and I for one am all for it. Even the though The Joker was killed at the end of the 1989 movie I would still love to see that happen.

So, how do you win a Blu Ray copy of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2? I tend to use the phrase "Fangasmic" from time to time in my posts and in order to enter you need to leave a comment of where you think I picked that phrase up from. Couple of hints: It was from a first issue of a comic book and one of the characters in this movie uses the phrase at the end of the issue. More specifically, what character says the word and what is the name of the comic book? Contest ends at 11:59 pm PST on February 15, 2013.

Check These Cool Deleted Scenes From the Original Star Wars Trilogy

I am usually pretty up to date with electronics, but I still have not upgraded my DVD players to Blu-ray yet. However, that is about to change with the video re-release of the Star Wars films on Blu-ray only.

Yes, the Star Wars movies are being re-released for the 100th or so time on video in September and I am once again going to be sucker, I mean loyal fan, and buy the latest release.

The main reason I want to pick up these versions is for the deleted scenes that are going to be available for the first time. Most of these scenes can be found in the novelizations and even Marvel comics versions of the movies. We'll get to see the missing scenes of Luke and Biggs on Tatooine from Star Wars, the deleted scenes of the Wampa attacks on Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back, the sand storm after the rescue of Han Solo from Return of the Jedi and more.

In the meantime, check out the sneak peek below.
