The finest hero to have ever Batusi’d is teaming up with The Avengers — but we ’re not sing about Marvel ’s mighty grinder . We ’re mouth about Great Britain ’s ! Out of all of the comic books news follow from Comic - Con this weekend , this might just be the craziest .
The news program of the crossover between DC ’s Batman ‘ 66 digital series and IDW ’s Steed and Mrs. Peel comedian came out of DC ’s “ Meet the Co - Publishers ” panel at the conventionalism , where Dan Didio bring out that the company is looking to full sweep up the ‘ 60s determine that makes the classical Batman series so special in the first place :
Batman ‘ 66 ’ is lock in a geological period of time , and who he meets is lock into that time period . I ca n’t think of anyone more fun to habituate than those guys .
So what in effect way to do that than to team up with a ‘ 60 TV icon from across the pond ?
For those not familiar , The Avengers was a long - running undercover agent - fi serial publication that air in the UK between 1961 and 1969 . Combining James Bond - ian undercover agent action with science fiction , The Avengers followed the adventures of John Steed ( played by therecently departed Patrick Macnee ) and a variety of vernal female assistants — most notably Dame Diana Rigg ( who you might be more conversant with as Olenna Tyrell on Game of Thrones ) as Emma Peel .
The show is considered a cult classic in the UK , and came back into the spot a few years ago when Marvel had to change the name of their first Avengers movie to Avengers Assemble in the UK to avoid trade name mental confusion with an — incredibly turgid—1998 movie version of the telly series .
Also announced at the panel were two raw entries in DC ’s line of “ Earth One ” graphic novels , which retell the origins of classical DC heroes on an substitute Earth ( designate Earth One , and not to be confuse with another substitute Earth called Earth-1 . Oh , comic Christian Bible ) .
Aquaman : Earth One will be pen by Francis Manapul , while J. Michael Straczynski , who kvetch off the “ Earth One ” descent , will pen The Flash : Earth One . Although item on either project are scarce , both are due to be released in 2016 .
