I already have the 1949 Batman serial on DVD. It's not very good though...
Wayne Manor as a matter of fact looks like an average suburban 1 story home. Complete with the passersby walking along the sidewalk next to the house!
The Batmobile is an average looking 1940's sedan with nothing to distinguish it from any other 1940's sedan except for the fat limp eared guy driving and the middle aged curly haired passenger with the halloween domino mask.
The acting and story also leave much to be desired...
It's a must-buy ONLY if you're some anal Batman completist.
By the by Rex, are you referring to the asian sterotypes and the jungle natives in the Superman cartoons?
It'd just be nice to know what you find amusing.
