>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.

These are cool, OP. Thanks.
Was the comic any good? I never really checked it out.
>Psychedelic Ra's
FUCK YES
these look really cool
>Psychedelic Manson Ra's
i love this.
also what celebrities would be the guest starts for this story
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
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...
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.
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
This is amazing.
That's actually a pretty neat design
>Bane looks like fucking Santino
All of my bueno
He had an issue before, where he teamed up with Riddler.
Well, at least there's that Burton style Batman book to look forward too if they haven't trashed that too
Fucked up, meant to say "El Santo" from Samson versus The Vampire Women
Batman 89 was never going to happen in the first place. It was a pitch from Kate Leth and DC turned it down.
...
10/10
Fuck.....
Some of it looked neat (Billy Dee Two-Face, Harley), but Robin looked retarded.
This is brilliant. I haven't laughed this hard in a good long while.
should be sammy davis jr.
Yeah but he didn't get cast in that unreleased Batgirl pilot.
>also what celebrities would be the guest starts for this story
Ra's looks like David Carradine and I could totally see him playing the part.
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...
neat designs
Is that suppose to imply Cabala becomes Bane?
Alex Ross made him look like Lyle Waggoner (who auditioned to be Batman) on the cover
