Batman/TMNT Vol. 1 by James Tynion IV

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Batman/TMNT finds the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles having crossed over to Batman's universe and at risk of losing their powers forever as the mutagen that gives them their powers may lose its potency in our Universe. Meanwile, Batman finds himself investigating the Foot Clan and the Turtles.

Overall, a cynic could point out to how much of this is expected. Our heroes meet, fight, and then realize their both good guys and join forces. However, the success of Batman/TMNT is all in the style . Not only is the way the Turtles make contact with Batman surprising, but the Dark Knight develops a very interesting relationship with the Turtles.

The characters are joyous to read. The characters have problems, but angst isn't the driving force of the story. There's a great sense of fun and imagination on every page. The art is gorgeous and manages to capture the epicness of the two Universes. In short, Batman/TMNT is so joyous and fun, it reminds long-time fans how comics can be so awesome.
