Bruce Wayne/Batman Early years

 

Bruce Wayne/Batman early years as a kid is unknown other than Bruce’s parents were shot when he was a kid and Alfred the Butler took care of Bruce. The story of young Bruce Wayne’s life is starting to be in new television show called Gotham. Gotham came out in the fall of 2014.

 

Batman Television shows

 

There was a very well known Batman show that came out in 1966. Adam West played Batman, Burt Ward played Robin, Joker was played by Cesar Romero, Penguin was played by Burgess Meredith just to name a few of the major Batman villians. This show last for 3 seasons and has been released for the first time in November of 2014 on DVD and Blu ray. This has over come a lot of adversity to make on DVD and Blu ray. There was a huge battle over royalties of the show because of one party owning the rights to the characters and the other party owning the story. This was in the courts for years and nobody was allowed to release it on DVD or blu ray until resolved. This is a big deal any fan of the show who wants a copy of the Batman television show. Some of the movie props were up for sale from the show. I saw the penguin’ s umbrella go for over $500 in 2010.
