SDCC EXCLUSIVE: Pop Culture Icons Collide in "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"

[nepenthes]

This should have been Batman in the TMNT dimension fighting Krang and Foot and mutants and stuff. That would've been wacky.

[ABH]

Heh, cool.

Though, Batman only needs to team up with Raph, because he's green and red, and is known to wear an (R).

[cranger]

Don't need to know much, I'm buying this! Really, I don't buy much anymore but TMNT is one of the few things I do, so getting a little Batman mixed in is awesome.

[TheDarkNut]

Nice. Thanks to the TMNT comic and current cartoon, my love for the Turtles is bigger than ever.

[Immortal Weapon]

Heh, cool.

I would love to see Batman compare Ralph to Jason's time as Robin.

Whilst I can see the appeal of say having sewer bound Bat villains like Killer Croc and Grundy fight the Turtles and of course pitting them up against the League of Assassins, I think crossing them with the very stolid Batman seems a odd choice when a teenaged team like the Titans would have made way more sense. Since the Turtles are teen themselves after all. At best I'd throw the wider Batman family in there so we can see Grayson and Damian's reactions.

The Teen Titans have already teamed up with the TMNTs on Teen Titans Go! Lol

[Black_Adam]

So when are they finally going to bring back that Justice League/Transformers crossover?

First thought that crossed my mind as well, come on DC!

Well this sounds great-

"from the creative team of Bat-books veteran writer James Tynion IV"

F**king hell.

Yeah why not have Eastman write or at least co-write? He is killing it at the moment for IDW.

[OlOneEyed]

Are we going to get a bunch of DC/IDW crossovers now since we have GL/Star Trek and now this? IDW is making a Back to the Future book in the fall. How about a Booster Gold/BTTF crossover?

Either way, this is an immediate buy.

Kevin Eastman isn't writing the current TMNT title. His name is own the cover but that's about it. Tom Waltz is the main writer since the relaunch. Eastman wrote one issue and two annuals and they were by far considered the worst three issues to date. Now if Tom Waltz was writing it would be even more Amazing than it already is.

I'm curious if, since the Ghostbusters crossover was apparently canon with the IDW Turtles continuity, if it'll be the same for this .

Yeah at least it has the Teenage superhero angel to it. As far as I know little if any inspiration for TMNT came from Batman.

I'd have preferred the X-Men or Daredevil but... sure. Why not?

Yeah, the Daredevil crossover really needs to happen. According ti TNMT they live in the same universe it is so oblivious to make a crossover. The X-men crossover would be cool as well sine a lot the inspiration for the TMNT came from X-Men as well. The only reason I think it wont happen is because Marvell is against it. Personally I think a Teen Titans crossover would make more sense.

DC probably prefers to have an experience Batwriter on writing Batman.

[MarvelMaster616]

Batman and the TMNT? Why not? I can actually see Batman and Leonardo getting along. I'm surprised something like this hasn't happened already. The Ninja Turtles haven't had many decent crossover stories. And Batman is one of those characters who can make any crossover story work.

[waffledanvers]

this is a must buy from me and i don't normally read the ninja turtles or batman this just sound epic

They better not have the fooking Shredder job to Batman, that`s all I ask.
