More recent screen versions of Batman have focused on the scarier side of the Dark Knight, so if you’re longing for the days of the breezier, campier TV series and its movie spin-offs, DC Entertainment has you covered. That’s why we still get the occasional, “Zap, Pow, Bang!” Caped Crusaders looks to deliver all the camp, along with bigger, more exciting action. The studio has announced plans to release a full-length animated Batman feature film called ‘Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, ‘ and it will reunite the cast from popular television series.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be available via Digital HD on October 11, with the Blu-Ray Combo Pack and DVD following on November 1.
