Classic theatrical serials travestied nonsensically into "TV Series"
I'm talking about:
Atom Man vs. Superman (1950):
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042211/
and Batman and Robin (1949):
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041162/
These 2 classic theatrical serials from Columbia Pictures have been classified as such for decades now on IMDb, until very recently when some fly-by-night operator has managed to absurdly transform them into "TV series" which of course does not make any sense.
In the first case, this change was accompanied by a new primary image to boot:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042211/mediaviewer/rm2497235970/
which is nothing but a bastardized product plug from some Mexican outfit that, to add insult to injury, calls this title "old-school animation" when it's actually a live action serial.
I have managed to change this primary image and restore the original one, but when I tried to revert both titles to their original status, my submissions were rejected.
Ergo, I'm requesting these 2 restorations here, so these 2 titles revert to their rightful classification as theatrical serials.
