If Fox is bought out by Disney, the rights to the 1966 Batman TV series may transfer to the Mouse House along with the X-Men and Fantastic Four film rights.
The Walt Disney Company has been floating the idea of acquiring 21st Century Fox’s movie and TV divisions, namely 20th Century Fox, for some time now.
CBR notes that 20th Century Fox Television still holds the rights to the original 1966 Batman TV series, famously starring Adam West as the Caped Crusader and Burt Ward as his trusty companion, Robin.
The network produced and distributed the series in the ’60s and retains the rights to the TV show despite Warner Bros. retaining full ownership of DC Entertainment today, just as 20th Century Fox continues to own the rights to George Lucas’ original Star Wars film even though Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012.
