Preview here.

Wow, that paning effect is rather annoying.

Anyway, the Rocksteady/Clayface combo is called... Clayface... Not gonna give them much credit for that one. I mean really, that's it? Not Claysteady? Rockface? Rocky Clay? Clayhorn? Unless it turns out Rocksteady is still a seperate character somehow, I don't get the point.

I thought Kevin was involved in art duties.

I think that's his best Batman x TMNT cover so far though.

*ProphetofGanja* · 04-30-2019, 09:36 PM

Oh right, this is a thing

this Batman/TMNT crossover series started out somewhat promising but very quickly became a weird, sort-of wacky fever dream. I'm still interested, at least, I can say that much at least. Sign me up as along for the ride, one last time.

If nothing else, I'll enjoy Williams' art

*Andrew NDB* · 04-30-2019, 11:35 PM

Yes. I'm a huge fan of Williams' art. That man can make gold.

Whos the one with the golden armor and red hoodie supposed to be?

*neatoman* · 05-02-2019, 06:31 AM

Oh, right, this thread.

So how about that twist, huh?

Deadshot. I can't remember who he was fused with, though.

According to the note on his concept art reveal, he's just a "ninja-fied" version of Deadshot.

'Cause Deadshot is usually such a noisy klutz... Smh. Even merging him with Stockman (fly eye scope!) would've been better.

I got this comic on Free Comic Book Day the Cover was hard not to buy

*Redeemer* · 05-04-2019, 04:08 PM

have you read it??? When I first saw the preview it looked terrible and I was not looking forward to it at all, but after reading the issue I have become excited for this latest cross-over.

side note all my local comic book stores were out of the free tmnt book.

Nope haven't read it yet. My comic shop too was out of the free TMNT one. I bought it cause the cover looked awesome and I love both Batman and TMNT. I read the first graphic novel crossover and loved it.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-04-2019, 08:54 PM

Dat art.

Story, well... we are on III. At this point, we all know what we're in for.

funatic · 05-08-2019, 05:04 PM

Well the twist was unexpected and actually got me halfway interested in seeing this through. Seems like with this third installment, they're at least not taking things too seriously. Feels like some kids are playing with their TMNT and Batman action figures together.

Curious -

I finally read the first issue. I loved it. I love alt universe stories. Though I did scream No when I read Jim Gordon talking to Officer Casey Jones it gave me terrible flashbacks of Whiny Amell Casey from OOTS

Is there a reason why this comic is nearly impossible to find at comic book shops? Was it in high demand? My comic guy forgot to add this to my pull list until I mentioned something when I saw the 2nd issue was out. Now it looks like a minimum of $9 (with shipping) if I order it online. I just want to find it at a comic shop for roughly retail price. I have tried 5 separate stores and they all moreorless say "Ha! Good luck".

Curious - Spoiler: Is Eastman doing the art for the Mirage turtles? That's pretty cool. Wonder if this is the first time he's been published by DC?
