Hello Player 1
Rumas’ Pokemon find in Google’s Time-Life archive prompted me to poke at the database for more gems. Naturally, one of the first terms that I entered was Batman. I wan’t disappointed by the results.
When I saw this cover, from a 1966 issue of Life magazine, three things immediately struck me. One – that sure is a “mighty leap” from Mr. West there. Two – Batman’s utility belt is ludicrously huge. And three – other than a penchant for wearing their underwear on the outside, I have no idea what Batman, Superman, and the Marques de Sade have in common.
Man, every time that I look at this cover, I love it more and more.

I like how they put Polywhirl (?) on the cover of the Time magazine, like children are being brainwashed or something.
Very classy, Time.

Wow! I have this issue! My girlfriend bought it for me at a flea market one day.

Batman AND Marquis de Sade featured on the same cover… of Life magazine! I’m speechless.
I love how the pic makes no sense but is cool at the same time. Also, this retro Batman logo is one of my favorite.

@Shadic: That is a polywhirl. Haha and I love how psyduck is down in the corner giving his usual “I have no idea why I’m here” face. xD Oh, Pokemon, where did it go wrong? ;_;
TIME magazine is a bunch of crazies, but that’s why we love them.

NICE

It’s been a while, so I didn’t want to confuse Polywhirl and Polywrath and irritate some fanboy.

Instead, I’ll have just spelled them all incorrectly, sorry! Poliwhirl and Poliwrath. Whoops.
