Batman/TNMT Crossover

**wktf** · 08-30-2016, 01:34 PM

So I see this is out or about to be out in HC. Is it any good? Some of the Batman company crossovers have been the best crossovers made, such as with Predator, Captain America and Punisher. The concept of this one sounds interesting and just wondering what peoples' opinions are.

I thought TMNT/Batman was really good to be honest. The plot was interesting because of how the turtles met Batman and why Batman is essential to their situation that they are put in. Also, I really enjoy the villain team-up that I won't spoil for you as well. Just know that Shredder is definitely an epic villain and would fit well in the Batman Universe given another chance at him taking on Gotham with his Foot Clan.
The art work is not the greatest of all time, but for this book it fits really well. Furthermore, I do not like how Batman is drawn but I guess that can contribute to the fact that he is in the new 52 costume so it looks a bit more armored than classic Batman.
Give it a shot and let us know what you think!

Agree with wizard...art is kinda 'meh' but already knew the artists style when I bought the books so no surprises there. Enjoyed the book as a whole though I thought the previous GL/Star Trek crossover was better

I almost picked these up last week but went with a few different ones, plan to grab them next time I stop in as I thought it looked interesting.

There also the tv series crossover coming up, batman tmnt adventures.

So, the GL/Star Trek crossover is worth getting, too?

I picked it up after all. Really did not care for it, unfortunately. The story just felt a bit too thin and contrived and, while the dynamics between Batman and the Turtles were interesting they just didn't feel properly explored. I also felt the big finale was a bit too cliche. Sorry, just didn't like it.

I also picked up Star Trek/GL so that's next on the list.

I hear ya, and I can see how you would feel that way. If the story was drawn out a bit longer in say maybe 12 issues I think this type of opinion might change if done correctly by the creators.
How is the Star Trek/GL Cross over?

Agreed. Thankfully I didn'y buy it. A buddy of mine lent me his copy and I wound up stoppiing roughly 75% of the way through the book. Just didn't care for it at all. Then again, there have been very few cross overs that I really cared for. I prefer just sticking to the regular non cross over stories for various IP's and characters.
