Sadly, I missed #5. I hope someday to get it.

Somewhere behind them Vanilla Ice is sampling this for a freestyle song.

Batman ’66 Meets The Green Hornet #6

FINAL ISSUE

DC Comics/Dynamite (January, 2015)

Apparently Green Hornet found a way to form a proper team-up with Batman and Robin through Scanlon. The issue starts with a bomb being dropped near them, but it actually spills out postage stamps, which leads to their next clue. As the quartet deal with a kidnapping a slip of the tongue leads to the true crime being committed.

What they got right: It’s too bad this wasn’t an episode, as neither show lasted long enough for a second team-up. The art was good, the only character designs that were heavily altered (due to rights concerns) were Gumm and Commissioner Gordon, and the “voices” matched perfectly. I also liked Kato’s reactions to working with the…quirks of the Dynamic Duo.

What they got wrong: There was a typo in a balloon. That’s all I’ve got.

Recommendation: I would love to get the issue I’m missing but together this was a great team-up and one you should look up if you like a fun Batman story or if you were a fan of either TV show.

The only thing missing was the interaction. But I’m glad they added the bit anyway.
