For some time now, Fox has been trying to release the 1966 Batman tv show onto DVD, but has been in a deadlock with Warner Bros. who wants a piece of the Bat-pie. Why is Warners fighting for something that isn't theirs? Sure, they own the Batman character, but what they own now has nothing to do with what Fox owned 40 years ago. Batman: The Movie (1966) was released to DVD with no problems in 2001, as was the original Batman movie serials of the 1940s by Columbia Pictures. Why is Warners withholding the show from the fans? Why is it taking this long for their lawyers to understand that they haven't a leg to stand on?

Lawyers make money from a client's dispute. It is therefore in the best interest of the lawyer to focus on a client's greed and to rake in the money. That is why the dispute is taking so long. There is a similar dispute over the rights for the 'Bladerunner' DVD.
