I remember The Green Hornet showing up on Batman, and Superman appearing on I Love Lucy, a couple of great early crossovers. I think that an episode like this would have been pretty cool to have seen as well!

"... and, meanwhile, in the Bottle City of Kandor: the Kato - Flamebird team has troubles of their own!"
and George was at the Super Circus as well!! Plus you had Hornet and Batman on Milton Berle!! The stories these covers could tell!!
I think that the Hornet from the old serial would be more a contemporary of Reeve's Superman. Maybe there's a time travel aspect to this one.
A tragedy Reeves had passed away long before Batman and Green Hornet had shows of their own. And certainly he would have been the one guest starring as the adult and retired Superman from an alternate reality in the two part Adventures of Superboy episode that featured the character in place of a former Tarzan. Oh, if only he could have been happier in his role, whether or not his death really was by suicide.
Has Superman met Gort and Klaatu (from the 1951 version of course) here yet? If not, I think that would be a highly interesting event. If we predictably messed up, saving us from Gort really might be a job for Superman.
Reeves' version of Superman is who I mean of course.
See STF #4651 @ Feb. 15 of last year.
Hey Ross would you ever think about making a photo cover of the 1940's era heroes together? I'm thinkin' The Shadow, Dick Tracy, The Phantom, Brenda Starr, and anyone else you can think of.
I think the producers picked Ron Ely for a small number of reasons. True, he had played Tarzan on TV in the late 1960's/early 1970's. But, he had also played Doc Savage on the silver screen. And, however miscast he might allegedly have been, the pulp-fiction Man of Bronze is still seen as a partial inspiration for/the literary progenitor of the Man of Steel! And that association would no doubt have been reinforced by the Wold Newton Universe's first decade of cult-classic popularity back then. Or, at least, I have no doubt one or two of the writers employed by the Superboy series must've read those two Philip Jose Farmer classics "Tarzan Alive" and "Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life" when they, themselves, were in high school/college.
Cary is quite right. It also wouldn't have been impossible to bring in Christopher Reeve to play the older Clark. (Expensive, perhaps, but not impossible.)
Re: today's cover? I can imagine this having happened on real-world TV had George Reeves lived a little longer. And the writers could've used the Apollo 11 Moon Landing as a back-drop!
The whole world (with two possible exceptions) is so enthused by the accomplishment, there's even speculation about a manned expedition to Mars by the U.S. Bicentennial! Knowing that the Wayne Foundation put up most of the money for the former, Tim O'Hara (West Coast nephew of GCPD Chief O'Hara) is sent to interview Bruce Wayne about the possibility of the latter. But, as it turns out, the two aforementioned exceptions want to prevent that from becoming reality. Lex Luthor of Metropolis...and Ra's Al Ghul of the League of Shadows. Towards that end, Luthor seeks to engineer Wayne's abduction by Bludhaven's most notorious "criminal;" the Green Hornet. While Ra's Al Ghul blackmails Superman into coming out of retirement and doing it...in order to save the life of Lois Lane-Kent!
Well, if he's taking requests, how about the Challengers of the Unknown and Absorbing Man teaming up against the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man? After all, wasn't it recently revealed, by Marvel, that Carl "Crusher" Creel once used a cousin's name as an alias (Rocky Davis)?
I'd like to toss in my own request, once again for either one of these two:
1.) The Hanna-Barbera "Impossibles" versus Marvel's Impossible Man
2.) Marvel's Frankenstein Monster. DC's Frankenstein Monster, Dell's super-hero Frankenstein, and Hanna-Barbera's Frankenstein Jr., in an all-Franky team-up. ;)
@ my namesake: All of them versus the Frankenstein Mobster (from Image Comics)?
I'd be in favor of that! :-)
Since 11 made it to the moon in 1969, Tim could have been perfect with his camera man Uncle to travel on special stories like this one.
Or, failing that, I'd settle for Disney's Kim Possible teaming up with Hanna-Barbera's Impossibles against...Mr. Universe!
Exactly!
