DC to publish digital comics based on 1966 Batman

14
Holy licensing deal, Batman! It seems that the campy, kitschy 1966 version of Batman—which was long verboten to be mentioned at DC and WB in general due to it's campy, kitschy nature.

DC Comics Month-to-Month Sales: February 2013

53

I mean, the plastic-ring thing from a couple of years back was a fair stab, but this one is bolder.
