Batman '66 #5
This compendium collects the entirety of Batman '66, the digital-first series inspired by the classic 1960s television show. It brings together all 73 issues and the specials, capturing the campy, colorful adventures of the Dynamic Duo as they battle the Rogue's Gallery in a style faithful to the source material. The collection is a comprehensive archive of the modern comic continuation of that beloved TV universe.
In "The Short Halloween," a festive yet sinister gathering at an abandoned movie studio brings together Penguin, Catwoman, and Joker with a horde of their fellow villains, all plotting against Batman. When the Riddler, left out of the plan, sends cryptic riddles to the Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin spring into action—only to find the villains’ scheme far less threatening than expected. Written by Lee Allred and illustrated with vibrant, stylized flair by Michael Allred, with colors by Laura Allred and letters by Wes Abbott, this 2017 tale captures the playful menace of the classic '66 series, all wrapped in a cover by Michael Allred.
In "Diamond Disaster," Gotham City falls under the eerie influence of Marsha, whose mind control forces citizens to aid her criminal schemes. With the city's freedom hanging in the balance, Batman and Robin devise a clever, unorthodox plan to break her grip—proving that even the most twisted mind games can be outwitted.
In "Bad Men," a rogue quartet of Gotham's most notorious villains hijacks an advertising agency, hoping to rebrand themselves as public heroes. Barbara, using her sharp wit and clever traps, manipulates them into turning on one another—just long enough to lure the police in—without ever letting them know she’s the one pulling the strings.
In "Main Title," the rogues gallery gathers at a shuttered movie studio for a villainous summit, but the Riddler’s exclusion sparks a clever game of clues. When Catwoman, Penguin, and Joker rally their allies for a grand scheme, Jo and Batman must unravel a trail of riddles before the plot unfolds—before the studio becomes a stage for chaos.
