Just Imagine Stan Lee with Joe Kubert Creating Batman

Description of title from DC's solicitations:

Written by Stan Lee (lead story) and Michael Uslan (backup); art by Joe Kubert (lead) and Michael Wm. Kaluta (backup); covers by Kubert and Adam Hughes

It was one of the most talked-about announcements of the year 2000, and now it`s one of the most eagerly awaited projects of 2001. Living legend Stan Lee — the co-creator of X-Men, Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Marvel Universe — joins forces with DC Comics to present Lee`s alternative interpretations
of DC`s finest super-heroes in JUST IMAGINE..., a series of stand-alone Prestige one-shots teaming one of the comic-book world`s most beloved storytellers with some of the medium`s greatest artists. The adventure begins in July as Lee joins with another legendary creator, Joe Kubert (illustrator of SGT. ROCK, ENEMY ACE, Tarzan, Fax from Sarajevo, and the soon-to-be-reprinted TOR), to present the remarkable new character — Batman — in JUST IMAGINE STAN LEE WITH JOE KUBERT CREATING BATMAN. And it`s a Batman unlike any seen before.

JUST IMAGINE...BATMAN introduces Wayne Washington, a black man framed for armed robbery. Consumed with thoughts of revenge against those who framed him, Wayne is freed from prison with a powerful physique and a bold new purpose. While seeking out his enemies, he gains wealth and popularity as a masked wrestler called "Batman," attracting the attention of Reverend Darrk, a mysterious villain who will play a role in subsequent JUST IMAGINE... one-shots.

Each issue of JUST IMAGINE… has a cover by the book`s interior artist but also features a back cover illustration by Adam Hughes (WONDER WOMAN). Plus, every issue contains a backup story focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary people affected by the emergence of the new heroes in the JUST
IMAGINE... universe cowritten by Lee & movie producer Michael Uslan (Batman, Swamp Thing), with art by a variety of talents, among them Michael Wm. Kaluta (who illustrates the first installment), and the Hildebrandt Bros.

JUST IMAGINE STAN LEE WITH JOE KUBERT CREATING BATMAN is a 48-page one-shot in the Prestige Format edited by Mike Carlin.
