Hopefully this is not really the going to be the last issue (this being a one shot DC would need 5 more issues just to fill out another 6 issue hardcover compilation book) of our beloved comic. I myself have several ideas for more. In the meantime here is an exclusive preview of the "final" Batman '66 comic, "Batman '66 Meets The Legion Of Super-Heroes"

Re: Exclusive preview! "Batman '66 Meets The Legion Of Super-Heroes"
SPOILER ALERT!
Just read my issue, which I picked up on Thursday, and quite enjoyed it. Not sure if I missed a few in-jokes and cameo appearances. The boy who cut O'Hara's hair was a bit weird.
I only ever read a few random "Legion of Super-Heroes" as a kid in the 60s, and the banter in this was reminiscent of that era. I always preferred the interactions between the "Teen Titans". As an Egghead fan, I am egg-static to see him return for what may be the swansong. Hoping DC continues to do more crossover mini-series and one-shots, I guess even for those collectors who simply must have every issue with a "#1" on the cover!

And a cameo of the iconic Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles as "Griffin Park" in Gotham City (above) was a delight. The full-page board game (below), as a way of adding more cameos and also moving the plot ahead, was rather clever. Was that something iconic to old "Legion of Super-Heroes"?
