Batman/TMNT II #4 Preview and Discussion

Okay I read this yesterday and since it would be so easy to go on and on about the negative aspects of this issue let me try to find some positive things to say:

While Donnie and Bane's characterization is the absolute worst possible, I do like some of the characterization and dialogue from the other characters. The opening scene from a previous issue with Damian being a little sh!t and complaining about his controller being broken was great. Some of the other characters' dialogue is still a little stilted and weird (Leo's "I hate him" line, for one) but because for the most part the dialogue and characterization is decent it just makes the fact that Donnie and Bane's writing is so weak all the more frustrating. I feel like IDW's TMNT team could have taken the nuts and bolts of this story (Bane accidentally transported to New York, Donnie insecure in his physical capabilities) and crafted a much better story. With a few minor tweaks this story could have easily become part of IDW's canon but as it is, I'm glad it's not.

But boy, that art tho. So good
