Batman '66 Comic Coming Soon from DC Entertainment
Mar 22, 2013
DC Entertainment unveiled art for its all-new digital comic book series BATMAN ’66, launching in summer 2013. Inspired by the classic TV series, the digital comic book features many fan-favorite characters like Catwoman, The Riddler, The Joker and, of course, the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin. Written by Jeff Parker, the series will feature cover art by Michael Allred and the first issue will be drawn by Eisner Award winner Jonathan Case. BATMAN ’66 will also be collected and available for sale in monthly print issues.
"The juxtaposition of offering a retro BATMAN '66 comic as a current and modern digital first title is fun,” stated DC Entertainment President, Diane Nelson. “DC Entertainment is the most prolific producer of digital first comics and, as we work to create new and compelling content, this is a great way to also preserve the legacy of our characters. It’s exciting to roll out the new BATMAN '66 comic as part of this bigger initiative with our Warner Bros Consumer Product partners."
The announcement was made on Thursday night at a Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) launch event for the highly anticipated Batman Classic Television Series licensing program.
