The very first TV superhero crossover came courtesy of a show that still remains one of the most culturally-significant comic book series of all time – the 1960s high-camp extravaganza Batman.

Nevertheless, the duo teamed up to stop an evil stamp collecting villain (yes, he really warranted two superheroes).
