Batman '66/Green Hornet, by Ty Templeton, Ralph Garman, Kevin Smith
2.0
I am not a Green Hornet fan. I've only seen the abysmal Seth Rogan film, otherwise I know pretty much nothing about the character. I do however absolutely adore the Batman, the '66 Batman TV show, and all of the other '66 Batman comics thus far.
This disappointed me for a few reasons.
1. There is only a single story that carries on for several issues and it was not super interesting.
2. The Green Hornet was unnecessary to the story. Batman didn't need him, they barely worked together, it just slowed the already too long story down.
3. Kevin Smith does a great job capturing the sound and feel of the '66 Batman, but there was very little if any self-aware, wink-nod, humor that catapulted the other comics into maximum awesomeness.
The result, this was just okay.
