A groovy crossover starring television versions of DC’s iconic heroes is finally happening.
‘Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77’ is on reveals what if Adam West’s Caped Crusader fought with Lynda Carter’s Amazon Princess!
At New York Comic Con Wonder Woman 75th anniversary panel, DC Comics announced the all-new Digital First title: BATMAN ’66 MEETS WONDER WOMAN ’77.
BATMAN ’66 veteran writer Jeff Parker and WONDER WOMAN ’77 writer Marc Andreyko will team up bringing the best of the ‘60s and ‘70s in a groovy, action crossover based on the classic Batman TV show staring Adam West and Burt Ward, and the fan-favorite Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter.
“Readers have asked for this team-up since the BATMAN ’66 comic began and I’m thrilled we’re able to finally make it happen,” said Parker. “Most of the credit goes to Marc Andreyko. He found me at a show and within minutes had me fired up about the story possibilities. It really feels like Lynda Carter and Adam West going into action again, this time together.”
Joining Parker, Andreyko—the original writer of the acclaimed WONDER WOMAN ’77 comic book series—will co-write the new miniseries.
“It was BATMAN ’66 by Jeff Parker that inspired me to ask about doing WONDER WOMAN ’77, so getting to co-write with him is a dream come true,” said Andreyko. “The story we’re spinning spans thirty years as these two legendary Super Heroes fight an ancient evil across the decades. We’ve planned lots of twists, cameos and surprises along the way that fans of both series will appreciate.”
Also announced on the panel in New York, the 12-chapter series will launch digitally November 23, releasing new chapters every other week, and will feature art from David Hahn and Karl Kesel and cover art by Michael Allred.
Following the November digital launch, the comic will later be offered as a six-issue print series with the first issue debuting in January 2017.
Here’s a description of the first chapter:
