    I loved this issue and that's something I've wanted to say from the start.  We finally get the absurd situations and humor that this teamup promised.  Ty Templeton's art is just the icing on the cake.  I can't wait for the next issue and more laughs.  Highly recommended. Read Full Review

    Recommended if:You love Batman '66, and why wouldn't you? Coincidentally, if you haven't heard about this yet, mark your calendars accordingly. Pretty exciting stuff from one of the all-time great artists to come from DC, and adaptations from unpublished scripts and the like are always interesting.You've been reading so far.You like sharp, smart dialogue and great character interaction.

    Infinite Comix - Dan Gehen Jun 19, 2014

    Ty Templeton's art continues to be strong and, for the most part, clean. Further, he brings the proper amount of energy, humor and gravitas that a Batman '66 story demands. Robin's depiction best encapsulates this, as the character is scared, confused, and awestruck over the course of a few panels. The quality of his linework slips compared to previous issues, but this is hardly a distraction. Readers will instead be drawn to the details he adds to build out the world. Batman's costume is rendered to appear cheap and poorly constructed, which it most certainly was on the television series. Finding Easter Eggs such as this adds another layer of enjoyment to an already fun ride. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jeff Lake Aug 7, 2014

    Writers Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman continue to mine the vast wealth of material from the original show, their capers so spot on that you can practically hear the theme song playing. We've stated the importance of nostalgia before, and while it certainly helps, it's not needed in enjoying the sheer exuberance emanating from every page. Read Full Review

    I've been buying the physical comics and now see that ComicBookRoundup is posting the digital issues so I'll adjust my reviews according. It's fairly clear where issues end due to the scintillating narration that makes me giggle with joy. This series has been consistently awesome, so pretty much every issue gets a good rating. This one resolves the last in a fun and diversified way and shows how interesting this crossover can be because. Unlike the typical hero mash up, Batman and Robin do actually have reason to take Green Hornet and Kato on because they're criminals, sort of.
