Looks like the multi-talented Kevin Smith will be working on the upcoming Batman '66 Meets The Green Hornet. Smith won't be working alone, teaming up with Ralph Garman to bring the classic version of both characters to life via the writing slot, while artist Ty Templeton will bring their words to life on the visual aspect. But it gets better, the Batman '66 Meets The Green Hornet 12-part series will be receiving the Ross treatment via the covers. That's right uber talented artist Alex Ross.Having enjoyed the Batman '66 series so far, it will be interesting to see how well this spin-off limited series fares. It is easy to look at it with an optimistic set of eyes, given that Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) and company are Bat-Fans through and through. Alex Ross also has a strong preference with the "classic" looks on comic book characters.
The series is set to drop digitally on the 21st of May, while the print version of Batman '66 Meets The Green Hornet hits shelves on June 4th, 2014. You can read more on the news over at USA Today's original article (via Smith's Facebook page) HERE
What do you think about the news? Have you enjoyed the current Batman '66 issues? Any Green Hornet fans out there jumping for joy, looking for any kind of redemption for the live-action film version? Personally, I am liking DC Comics willingness to finally embrace the campy style of Batman and now Green Hornet. Perhaps one day, some fans will get their Tim Burton Batman (1989) comic books available. Till then...
Stay Nerdy!
