Batman to meet the Man from U.N.C.L.E. in upcoming mini-series

Batman '66, DC Comics' fun ongoing series featuring stories inspired by the Adam West "Batman" TV series, is set to end in December.

But, the same month, the 1960s Batman will be featured in the first issue of a six-part mini-series wherein he meet that other cult franchise, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."

Here's a blurb about the new series, which is scripted by Jeff Parker with art by David Hahn and covers by the great Michael Allred:
Two 1960s television icons cross paths for a groovy, globe-spanning adventure in this one-of-a-kind miniseries. The deadly organization known as T.H.R.U.S.H. has a new twist in their plans for world conquest—they’re recruiting some of Gotham City’s most infamous villains! Agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin bring this information to the one man who knows everything about these new enemies: Batman. Before you can say “Open channel D,” the Dynamic Duo and the Men from U.N.C.L.E. are jetting off to Europe to thwart the schemes of this deadly criminal cartel.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." was so popular on TV during the mid-1960s that the show's producers shot extra footage with the intention of padding out shows to create feature-length theatrical films from them.

Eight of these films were created in all. Here's a look at the some of the associated posters for each.
