Batman/TMNT Adventures (new crossover!)

AlZarkovski · 07-22-2016, 09:19 AM

BATMAN AND TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TEAM UP IN NEW COMIC SERIES!

Batman has been especially sociable this year, having crossed paths with Superman, Wonder Woman, and a time-traveling (or dream-hopping… it was hard to tell) Flash all in the span of two hours and change. But the Dark Knight’s next team-up is poised to be his most joyful in quite some time. This fall, the black-clad vigilante will find unlikely comrades in a foursome of likewise unlicensed crime fighters: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Meeting halfway between the alleys of Gotham City and the sewers of Manhattan, Bruce Wayne will team up with Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael for the limited series comic Batman/TMNT Adventures.

Nerdist got the exclusive on this new venture, the first issue of which is expected to hit shelves mid-autumn. Batman/TMNT Adventures comes from writer Matthew K. Manning, who has written Batman and Ninja Turtles comics alike, and illustrator Jon Sommariva of TMNT Amazing Adventures fame.

Spoiler:

The story will follow Batman, in the style we know and love from Batman: The Animated Series, in his pursuit of his usual band of foes after they break free—as they always seem to do—from the confines of Arkham Asylum. The assorted criminals will find their way across canons into New York City, where Bats will have no choice but to call upon the help of the pizza-loving goofballs devoted to keeping the Big Apple safe. It won’t only be Batman’s foes who stand in the way of justice, however; the Turtles’ collective of enemies will step in to ensure the longevity of this new taste of chaos. And of course, we’re likely to see some contribution from the heroes’ pals—perhaps Robin, Alfred, and Commissioner Gordon will lend a hand, ditto April O’Neil and Casey Jones.

Just as Batman has had a pretty standout year on the big screen, so have the Ninja Turtles, whose Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows endeared to fans, and more than a few critics. Likewise, the Turtles are currently living large on Nickelodeon, where their eponymous animated series is presently in the midst of its fourth season.

The inceptive 32-page issue—the first of six altogether—will run you $3.99, and should hit stores November 9.

Huge fan of the Batman Animated Series so this is cool but I feel a little burnt out since we just finished a Batman/TMNT series I didn't think we needed another 6 issues so soon.

Is IDW publishing this time around? I am tired of ads and 4,000 variants, (and I love variants.)

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 07-22-2016, 09:36 AM

Well, this will probably keep the series afloat for another year. Well played.

Zero interest.

*ToTheNines* · 07-22-2016, 09:37 AM

Not the biggest Sommariva fan, but the DCAU aspect has me pretty ****ing jazzed.

*Vicky82* · 07-22-2016, 09:47 AM

Cool, I still haven't read the first crossover yet, I'm going to get it on Trade Paperback.

I wonder if this is the reason why the Amazing Adventures is cancelled/hiatus

Gorilla Grodd · 07-22-2016, 09:51 AM

I'm probably a bigger fan of DCAU Batman than New 52/Rebirth Batman these days so I'm all for this.

*Allio* · 07-22-2016, 10:00 AM

eh...we just had TMNT/Batman...so...I'm not really hyped.

*oldmanwinters* · 07-22-2016, 10:04 AM

I'm even more excited about this than I was for the first crossover, which was unbelievable in itself.

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-22-2016, 10:31 AM

Is this the last season of Batman:TAS with thevRobin replacement and cartoonish remodeled villains? It its Natman:TAS I knowvand love I am all for it, but if its the WB! season with Nick Ninja Turtles I think I will read the trade. Not as jazzed for this as the just completed amazing team up.

*NormalGamer* · 07-22-2016, 11:10 AM

Wow. Didn't expect this. ^_^

*TurtleTitan97* · 07-22-2016, 11:11 AM

TMNT + DCAU Batman?!

SIGN ME UP!!!

2K3 turtles would be a better crossover with Batman from BTAS

*CyberCubed* · 07-22-2016, 12:12 PM

Let's see every universe crossover with a different incarnation of Batman:

- Adam West Batman crossover with the Original 80's Turtles. I want to see 60's Batman fight Fred Wolf Shredder.

- 1989 movie Burton Batman crossover with the 1990 Movie 1 Turtles. They fit right in with each other.

- JLU version of Batman crossover with the 2k3 Turtles as they both aired in the early 2000's

Yes.

Did you mean The Batman? It would be a close mix of styles.

I'd be up for either of those. I think they would be tonally and visually compatible.

This & this + I'm not really a Batman fan to begin with. Whatever, the last X-over was mad good anyway so I'm sure I'll enjoy this too.

Definitely! It has more in common with TAS than Nick does.

It'd probably be like that one episode where they team up with some goofy superhero. If only I can remember what the name of the episode was.

I love all of these and want them right now.

I really wish they'd incorporate Superman in this in some way.
