i always come back to 'Joker's 5 Way revenge with that moment the Thug wants to go back to his place to get his toothbrush. and of corse Batman's just like - "that's a reasonable request." and i'm reading it saying to myself 'BATMAN ARE YOU FREAKING NUTS???' but still i like the feeling of adventure these really early stories had. plus there was never a problem a good sock on the jaw couldn't solve! yeah, it's pretty amazing the thoughtlessness the heroes would sometimes display towards life endangerment too!

MikeandRaph87, i figure you'd be the guy to ask this question-
was Dr. Daedalus and/or Spyral used in DC stories before Grant Morrison had them in his Batman run?

He was a Grant Morrison creation. The uncle of Kathy Kane was all Grant Morrison. The Spyral organization as well. The closest thing I can think of is Spyral is an evil Checkmate which itself was a gray area.

i thought they were Grant creations but wasn't sure? it was just interesting to see them still used long after Grant left. the character and organization weren't handled quite as well when Morrison was writing them of course. but still was interesting to see the nod.

I will always prefer Batman teaming with my other two favorites, Ninja Turtles or Spider-Man,but the best crossover story is a 1940s' retro style tale with Captain America, Robin, Bucky, Joker, and the Red Skull in a twist and turns tale with devastating consequences.

i've had it for half a year and haven't even read it yet. i did find my Batman/Punisher with art by J.R. Jr. that was actually pretty entertaining. the Batman/Darkness cross-over looked really cool, but the story really isn't all that memorable. my favorite was the very first Batman Judge Dredd crossover!!! THAT's by far my favorite!!! Spoiler:
just look at that Bisley art!!!!

That is the second one, it features Ra's al Ghul and The Knigpin. Of course there is an uneasy alliance the Bat and the Spider must poke holes in. The first one featured The Joker and Carnage receiving state of the art psych treatment which of course will not work.
I know absolutely nothing about Judge Dredd except Sylvester Stallone played him in a film. Not knowing a thing about a character hurts the appreciation of a crossover.
