I think MV said he wasn't interested. Intrada doesn't do box sets, and FSM is no more. Maybe Varese?
When the bleep did I say that? Its friggin Batman for god sakes!!

I'm pretty sure it was actually Lukas who commented on this board that he didn't think the TV show music was especially worthy of release, not MV...

I also recall Lukas being the one who said the music for the 66' series was not worth releasing. I don't recall the exact quote, but I think he said something along the lines of the music being extremely repetitive.

Way back at the beginning of the FSM CD series, when we were doing some Fox titles, we actually transferred a few of the mono Nelson Riddle scoring masters (before we learned that the ownership would make the licensing impossible). We did the Batman movie instead as its ownership was much simpler. I have to tell you...the TV scores were amongst the most annoyingly repetitive and drab things I had ever heard! Sorry...

One man's crap is another man's treasure. A lot of people said the same thing about Star Trek music. "Isn't it just the Amok Time fight music repeated over and over for three seasons?"
However, perhaps a Mission: Impossible style highlights set would be doable, if that is the case.

The rights are very very complicated and we hope to make it happen someday. Honestly its my holiest of grails.

Not every episode was fully scored with original compositions, instead tracks or edits were often layed in (for example: that repeated scene of the Batmobile pulling up to police HQ). You could probably -- out of all the Riddle-scored episodes, eliminate about a quarter of the music heard.
Have it in two or three volumes. Volume 1 with just Riddle. IF it sells well enough, a shorter Volume 2 with more of his scoring and anything worthy from the two or three episodes Baker did. Then put off May's season three efforts to his owm volume (simply because Riddle shouldn't be shortened to fit May in, May's efforts don't sound the same, and quite frankly his scoring was unremarkable).

Justin, if May's music was really so lackluster why would it warrant a volume all to itself, which probably wouldn't sell? It would make more sense to do this Mission: Impossible style, or two smaller volumes at the most, with perhaps less than half an hour containing the best of his work.
I can definitely understand the nostalgia factor for this, and perhaps the rights are more likely to be worked out now that there was a licensing arrangement done for the series itself. But the only Batman series for which we need every single magnificent note is the 90s animated series IMO...

For one of the reasons I stated: so no Riddle score is short-changed to cram the inferior (and in my opinion annying) scoring from May in. But I have no say on whether it will be done that way or if a third volume for just his work would be done -- it's just how I view it.
I wish Hefti had gotten a chance to score an episode or two.

My opinion too.

the running up the steps of Gotham Police HQ
That's heard at least once briefly in the film score, as I recall. I have it in one of my personal edited suites, I believe.
