I admit that when I first heard about this one a year ago that I didn’t think a Batman ’66/Legion of Super-Heroes pairing was a natural fit. Could be personal bias, though, because I’ve never been a big Legion fan.

But I have all the faith in the world in the Allreds to tell a story like this. I mean, just check out Lee’s Twitter banner, illustrated by Mike (with Laura’s colors):

Few creators today have a healthier respect for and understanding of the Silver Age and Batman ’66.

And don’t forget, these guys turned in what remains the single best Batman ’66 issue to date:

Now, here are some screen grabs from the DC All Access video at the bottom of this post:
