Over on Batman On Line,A poster did a thing on TMNT 1990 and its possible influences from the comics. Thought it was an interesting read.

Cool! It's definitely not a coincidence, though. When the film was being pitched to different studios, the original comics were cut up and used as storyboards for the existing treatment.

Yes the film was quite faithful to the comics as mixing it with the cartoon which was genius to mix both, similar to how Batman TAS mixed the Burton films with the comics.

When I first read the description I thought "so what? Most fans know the first movie was largely inspired by the story of the comic already" then I clicked the link and was impressed with the effort to find as many comperable images between the two. A good eye and attention to detail.

I'd love to see a similar post for the 4kids series adding both the Mirage and movies if possible, since its clear that all had shared the same source material.
