Great crossover between Batman and the Green Hornet. Full of action, great story, the artwork was on point! I didn`t watch the old Green Hornet tv show but Batman was a must watched even though I wasn`t born during that period, reruns were everywhere. Great comic worth the read and re-read.

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.

This succeeds at capturing both the serious tone of the Green Hornet series and the camp of Batman '66. This was just fun, start to finish. I also really loved the Alex Ross covers.

I was a HUGE fan of Batman '66 when I was a kid. Yes, Keaton changed my view of Batman but I never lost my love for the simpler, more campy Adam West Batman of yesteryear. This book definitely captures the magic of that era and serves as a sequel to the famous crossover episode of Batman with the Green Hornet. I love this era of superheroes and I am glad we get some version of it in the comics. I am also a long time Kevin Smith fan, so this was a real treat!

A quick and fun read. This was my introduction to The Green Hornet, as previously I hadn't read any of his stories. The presence of Batman and Robin '66 added a goofy edge to it.

Hilarious, absolutely evokes the old Batman TV series.
Batman and the Green Hornet team up to fight crime, eventually.
