Heh, thanks.  I find it funny that I fixed the lighting problem only to make a video that I immediately cast into black and white and added film deterioration to.  And, yeah, apparently the squeaky chair won't be my thing.  I replaced it with a piano stool this time (which also served as a convenient place to keep all the video cases I kept pulling out).  Oh, and I downloaded VLC thanks to your advice, and it served as an excellent tool for getting screen grabs from Batman.  Unfortunately, I was using my editing software to get grabs from Batman and Robin, and that was a much more complicated process.  Never gonna do that again!

Just so you know, I'm not planning on doing a fifteen part review of this (I think a synapse in my brain just exploded thinking about that!).  When you get right down to it, it's essentially a four hour movie!  My original plan was to make it two parts, one for the first half, and one for the second half, but as I sat down to write the script last night, I had already had enough trouble just getting all the elements to work in the first place that I just decided to start out with Chapter 1, with a retrospective of the first serial, and then, hopefully have 2-7 for part 2, and 8-15 for part 3.  But we'll see.  ^_^

And, yeah, it always surprises me how few people have heard of these earliest entries into the Batman film franchise.  Since I got the first Batman tape when I was about 5 or 6, I've been aware of it nearly my whole life, so it seems strange that other people don't.  But, yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to find.  I just got my DVD copy of Batman and Robin a few months ago!
