The fully remastered The Batman: The Complete Series Blu-ray release has officially hit shelves this week, collecting all 65 episodes of Bruce Wayne’s early adventures. Issued by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the debut of the new box set (BD + digital $69.99 SRP US / BD only $79.98 SRP CAN) was marked by Warner with a sweet group photo snapped at the show’s final recording session.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the six-time Emmy-winning animated series premiered on September 11, 2004 on Kids’ WB before shifting to Cartoon Network for subsequent seasons. The Batman follows 20-something-year-old Bruce Wayne as he balances his daytime persona as a bachelor billionaire with his nighttime guise as a caped crimefighter. Along the way, Batman is joined by allies Robin and Batgirl as they combat Gotham City’s Rogues’ Gallery, including updated versions of his familiar foes as well as a bevy of rarely seen villains like Killer Moth and The Everywhere Man.
