Of course Republic made some of the best serials, but that is another story.
Yeah, I still can't sit through all of Batman and Robin without getting bored. Granted, I only have the first tape of it, so I can't actually sit through the whole thing... only the first half, but you get my point. The original movie was better.
And, Dayv, sorry if I didn't make that clear, but I meant that the reason I'll be buying the DVD is so the DVD can give my poor decade and a half old tapes a rest because they're (especially Volume 1 since I've had that longer) starting to become quite worn from repeated use. Much thanks for the offer, though. I've never made a back-up for a DVD before. Is it a good idea to do so?
