Batman '66 volume 2 collects Batman '66 6-10.
Batman '66 presents episodes of the Batman television show of the 1960s that never were. In this collection, Batman and Robin take on The Bookworm, Mr. Freeze, King Tut, The Joker, False Face, and others.
The writing of the series captures the spirit of the '60s Batman television show fairly successfully. I was thoroughly entertained by this volume from the first story, The Bookworm stealing Gotham City's ceremonial giant checkbook. The humor and campiness are in full effect. My one gripe is that the artwork in some of the chapters doesn't capture the likenesses of Adam West and Burt Ward as well as some of the others.
Your enjoyment of Batman '66 fully depends on how you feel about the television show. If you like your Batman broody and serious, you won't like it. If you're entertained by the show, you'll be entertained by the book. Three out of five stars.

Não era bem o que eu esperava. Por ser baseado no seriado dos anos 60, tem uma pegada cômica e bastante absurda que não me agradou nem um pouco.
Acho que vai agradar bem mais aos fãs da antiga série.

Fantastic! This volume is filled with the kinds of kooky villains that you'd never find in a modern brooding Batman comic but are perfect for the campy fun of the 60's!
