Batman and The Imperial Guard

 

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see that Batman has no shortage of suspects to interview.  It's a good thing he's the World's Greatest Detective!  I remember the cool issue of The Brave and the Bold where Batman visited the Legion of Super-Heroes to solve a crime.  I liked the respect the LSH showed him in that story, but I don't know if he would get the same amount of reverence from the Imperial Guard.

Imperial Guard and Legion of Super-Heroes

 

I've been meaning to get both of these groups together on a cover for a while, but it has always been a challenge, given the huge rosters that each team has.  It's more like teaming up two armies! Looking at the final cover, one thing really stands out to me - Dave Cockrum really knew how to design costumes!  

The Imperial Guard Vs. Darkseid

Marvel likes to beat DC to the punch at the movies when they can, so I am surprised that I have never heard anything about them bringing The Imperial Guard to the MCU.  Maybe if DC were to announce a Legion of Super-Heroes film or streaming series, Marvel will respond by putting The Guard on the fast track.  I'd love to see them in live action.
