There’s been rumors about 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. negotiating a deal regarding licensing of the 1960’s “Batman” television show. Today, in the latest issue of License! Global, it has been confirmed that the deal is done.
From the magazine:
“The 1960’s Classic Batman TV Series line which will be released next year, is based on the original television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward.”

The magazine also reveals that Mattel will continue the “DC Super Friends” line, introduce a new line for 2014 based on the upcoming “Beware the Batman,” “refresh” DC’s adult collector line and continue their “evergreen” Batman figures in a line called “Power Attack.” Naturally, next summer’s Man of Steel will also receive a tie-in toy line.
Fans can expect the first wave of retro Batman merchandise to hit toy shelves sometime in mid to late 2013.
