BATMAN ANNIVERSARY DATES

[Tarzan1941]

This topic was going on in another thread for a bit, so I decided to give it a thread of it's own.  This is a list of all the Batman and Batman Returns anniversary dates to remember.  I'm still trying to track down the CBS date.  If anyone can lend a hand, let me know.  Thanks!

And if any one cares, the CBS special "The Bat, The Cat & The Penguin" aired on June 17th, 1992.  I ran across that today as I was looking for the CBS BATMAN premier date.

I remember I got Batman for my birthday when it was released. But my birthday is october 17th. You sure that VHS date is correct?

Then again maybe it was  in 1990 I got it......

I believe the other films got October release dates. I REALLY remember getting Batman Forever around Halloween, because I wanted to stay home that night and watch it, instead of Trick or Treating.

I remember the adverts Xtravision took out in the papers - the said "Holy Catfish Batman" (not sure what thet means) but I can't remember the date!

I am 100% sure on the BATMAN VHS.  I remember the advertising and if I look, I think I may have an ad for it as well.  I know I have a few that got printed around Christmas of 1989.  The tag line was, "Give Them What They Want."  Speaking of Christmas, I got the VHS from Santa that year. 

As for the other dates, I'll look into it.

Here is the second batch of important BAT-DATES to remember.  As you can see I am missing a couple and again, if anyone has information to fill in the gaps, please let me known.  I skipped over the Nolan films for now.  I also skipped over the various VHS releases such as the Animated Series episodes that featured a villain or a storyline, and the DIRECT TO VIDEO releases such as The Batman/Superman Movie.  I did include BATMAN & MR. FREEZE: SUBZERO because, well I liked it and it's better than BATMAN & ROBIN.  I also didn't track down exact dates for the DVD releases or the WIDE SCREEN VHS releases.  I am a bit too anal and obsessive/compulsive, so I am going to concentrate on the CBS and HBO dates, unless someone steps in before me.  Then I'll see about filling in any missing gaps.
