New Spawn/Batman crossover

News from NYCC....

After showing a series of slides of his companies' assorted future endeavors, McFarlane then proceeded to open the floor to fan questions. Towards the end of this Q&A session DC's Dan Dido, posing as an interested fan, emerged from the crowd to ask Todd a question that was on his mind: Just what would it take to get Todd McFarlane to someday work on a comic book project again?

The answer was simple: Greg Capullo on pencils…and Batman.

McFarlane announced that he and Gapullo would serve as the creator team on an upcoming "Spawn/Batman" crossover in conjunction with DC Comics that, ideally, should see print sometime in the next year or so.

When asked why he was now working with DC on a crossover project when several years ago he was approached by Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada about doing something along similar lines with Spider-Man with Marvel, but declined the offer, McFarlane replied, "Because I like Batman better than Spider-Man. There's just something so cool about two guys standing on a rooftop at night with big long capes."

There would also be a tie-in with DC Direct on a "Spawn/Batman" statue, Dido said.

Sounds good to me!

As long as it's better than the last one.

I havn't read it in a long time but I do have it. Maybe I'll bust it out. I remember liking it, but back then I was a kid and I loved Spawn and Batman so yeah. A new crossover sounds good to me.

I'm just happy to see Capullo doing art again.

A) Sounds like McFarlane being a douche again,
B) Whats left to be said that wasn't said in the first one?

This sounds great. I hope Batman and Spawn'll be able to work together without havin' to argue or betray one another. That'd be nice to see 'em fight their villains together if the publisher or whoever decides to include a few villains from the Batman and Spawn universes.

I don't get McFarlane sometimes. He says he likes Batman better, yet worked on Spider-Man for how many years? :ohwell:

Sounds like a good idea, but like Brodie said, what's new here? Miller and McFarlane did a decent enough job back in the '90s with their version. What's big about this besides Capullo?
