That insert is actually the only DC-published MOTU comic I'm missing from my collection - JAG2045 is correct in that MOTU had actually appeared in comic form once before, again in a story featuring Superman, in the now-legendary DC Comics Presents #47.

I'd like to see a DC Comics Presents that is different team ups like the upcoming Marvel Team Up.
Some of my favorite old comics are the Brave and Bold (esp. the Wildcat and Black Canary or Green Arrow team ups) and DC Comics Present (esp when Superman was with one of the newer creations like Amethyst).
Different creative teams would be presented with a classic Silver Age cover and characters they haven't written before, then would come up with a story or two to fit the cover.

A tribute issue to comics legend Julius Schwartz, this book has two stories based on an old-Schwartz-inspired comic book cover of the 1960s: namely Batman so engrossed in watching his own show on TV that he refuses to go out and fight crime.
Johns, Infantino and Giella present a story where an actor playing Batman on television becomes the main suspect in the murder of an actor playing Robin.

It's tough to review these DC Comics Presents projects, because whether they're any good or not is kind of beside the point.
The way Batman investigates and the way he deals with it are both very much the kind of thing you'd see in a classic Silver Age comic, complete with a sort of goofy, comedic finale, but the premise is so much fun that I don't mind the old school touches.
The DC Comics Presents one-shots are sort of an odd project, being basically a comic-book eulogy delivered not at the funeral but to the fans.
