>I had actually forgotten about this, but thought it would be a fun share.
>While working on my Bane issue of Batman '66 I had an idea for 66ing more of the Caped Crusader's Rogues, as well as revisiting some who appeared on the show. It all escalated quickly and I spent a day putting a package of material together to pitch Jeff Parker.
>By the time I got it to him the regular series had been cancelled though, so bringing the idea to fruition wasn't in the cards unfortunately. But here is a collection of character designs for the League of Shadows '66. I really wanted them to feel like Batman's equivalent to SPECTRE.
>My idea was to hint at the League with another Bane appearance, by re-introducing Nora Clavicle. She would meet with Bane and discuss with him her "father." The other members of the League would be peppered in smaller back-up stories, as some of the players were not major threats on the show. I really wanted to reintroduce many of the lesser used and regarded.
>Anyway.
>The big twist would have been Nora Clavicle being revealed as Ra's Al Ghul's daughter, Talia. Nora had originally infiltrated every civic office of Gotham City, which I thought reflected her counterpart in the Dark Knight Rises. Made for a nice nod to Talia's legacy
>Then Ra's would enter the picture, all Peter Fonda'd up in his hippy-messiah garb.
>The image order was exactly how I pitched it to the Bat-Team. Tried to add some drama, right?
>Oh, I had also hoped to revisit Killer Moth. His Batgirl pilot appearance just wasn't enough for me.

>>83802551
It's a nice fun book

Most of these had actual actors in the show, but they'd probably "recast" Dr. Cassandra since she's black now.
Peter Fonda for Ra's.
Also, they had Two-Face in the Lost Episode, but he didn't resemble Clint Eastwood at all.

Radical
This is great!
Batman '66 was canceled? When was this?
>tfw just bought the 5th tpb
>>83804242
It reached 30 print issues
But there was a crossover with Man of UNCLE and there's another one coming soon or is already coming out

>But there was a crossover with Man of UNCLE
Shit, I didn't know about this. I'll look around for it.
Someone should do a storytime for batman 66
Oh Batman 66...you died too soon...
>>83805090
I thought they were going to run out of juice, but I see they still had some neat ideas left.
At least 30 issues is a better run than most other comics I like.
>>83802981
d'oh, had no idea. i wish they had gone full hog with the celeb guest villain gimmick but i guess nowadays likeness licensing is a thing
>>83802395
This is amazing.
>>83802395
That's actually a pretty neat design
>>83802321
>Bane looks like fucking Santino
All of my bueno
>>83806414
He had an issue before, where he teamed up with Riddler.
>>83806053
Well, at least there's that Burton style Batman book to look forward too if they haven't trashed that too
>>83806414
Fucked up, meant to say "El Santo" from Samson versus The Vampire Women
>>83806477
Batman 89 was never going to happen in the first place. It was a pitch from Kate Leth and DC turned it down.
>>83802395
>>83807014
10/10
>>83806968
Fuck.....
>>83806968
>>83807235
Some of it looked neat (Billy Dee Two-Face, Harley), but Robin looked retarded.
>>83802395
This is brilliant. I haven't laughed this hard in a good long while.
>>83802424
should be sammy davis jr.
>>83808955
Yeah but he didn't get cast in that unreleased Batgirl pilot.
>>83802776
>also what celebrities would be the guest starts for this story
>>83802776
Ra's looks like David Carradine and I could totally see him playing the part.
>>83806968
Considring how much of her time and energy Leth puts into talking trash about DC, can you blame them for turning down her pitch?
>H-Hey guys, want to publish this sweet Batman comic based on the Tim Burton movies?
>Aren't you that obnoxious punk with the webcomic that's constantly berating us?
>Um...
>>83802251
neat designs
>>83802294
Is that suppose to imply Cabala becomes Bane?
>>83802981
Alex Ross made him look like Lyle Waggoner (who auditioned to be Batman) on the cover
