A release date has finally been confirmed for Batman on DVD... and Blu-ray! Batman - The Complete Television Series (DVD) and Batman - Limited Edition Blu-ray Complete Television Series (Blu-ray) will be available in stores on November 11. Both are now available for pre-order.
An actual date for the DVD release of The Wonder Years - The Complete Series hasn't been given yet, but it is now available to pre-order and will be coming some time in early October. It will be available in two configurations, a standard $249.95 release and a Wonder Years Experience configuration that includes a few extras, for $299.95. For the biggest fans, there is also a $499.95 Signature Edition, in which your set is autographed by the cast members.
If you missed the previous releases of The Office on DVD, Universal will be offering them all in one package on October 7 with their release of The Office - The Complete Series. There does not appear to be a Blu-ray version in the works (most likely since there were never any Blu-ray releases for the earlier seasons).

Who to Follow: Tyler James Williams (Twitter), "Telling untold stories, giving voices to those without, and loving every minute of it."

Claim to Fame: Tyler James Williams began his acting career at age four, and by age eight, he played the voice of Bobby (at least temporarily) on the series Little Bill. From there, he went on to Sesame Street for a few years, where he played himself. But to the sitcom world, he was known for his role as Chris on the series Everybody Hates Chris. In the 2012-2013 season, he was a regular on the NBC series Go On, and since then, he has been playing in some guest roles on series and starring in several made-for-TV movies... but it seems likely that he'll be back as a star on a sitcom eventually.
