This hardcover book accompanied the Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders! Blu-ray gift set sold at Best Buy. Rather than simply retell the story of the animated film, it collects several issues from DC's Batman '66 comics series. The stories, much like the animated film, serve as a continuation of the classic ABC series. They feature many favorite villains, such as the Riddler, Catwoman, the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Egghead, and the Mad Hatter. Lesser-known villains from the 60s show Clock King, Chandell, and Siren appear as well as 60s-style versions of the Red Hood and Harleen Quinzel. The stories capture the tone of the original series and make use of the comic book medium. Jeff Parker's writing is delightful and the illustrations by Jonathan Case, Ty Templeton, Joe Quinones, and Sandy Jarrell evoke the multi-hued glory of the show. A treat for fans along with the animated film! ( )
