"We both protect our jungles, Greystoke . . . My parents were murdered in front of me by a common thug. I swore I would make Gotham a place where such a thing could never happen again." -- Batman
"We're more alike than I had even suspected, you and I." -- Tarzan, a.k.a. Lord Greystoke
Inspired and effective pairing of two long-running and legendary pop culture characters - the comic book crime-fighter and the pulp fiction jungle hero - in a rousing action/adventure story set, judging by appearances, either just before or after WWII. The 'Cat-Woman' of the subtitle is NOT the Selina Kyle incarnation, but the slinky and fierce Princess Khefretari of the hidden community of Memnon (shades of Marvel's Black Panther) in Africa. Said trio assembles for an impromptu investigation stemming from several artifacts - thought to be 'donated,' but actually obtained by questionable means - showing up in Gotham City. This leads them back into the wilds of Africa, where they are thrown into cliffhanger-type situations. Also notable were several thoughtful dialogue passages in which the two leads explain the differences (Batman will not kill; Tarzan will kill in self-defense or in defense of others) in their respective peacekeeping methods to find a sort of common ground.

I love reading comics as you can probably tell by the amount of them on my bookshelf. Most comics are a good solid 3 star read. A few fall to a 2 due to either bad art or writing and a few rise to 4 stars with some great stories or art. Rarely does a comic get 5 stars from me. Well this series is the exception to all the rules. Sometimes everything just falls right into place. Perfect writing and art for the characters and a good story setting. This one has the perfect feel of a Burrough's Tarzan novel and Golden Age Batman adventure. Exceptional writing made each character fit perfectly in the story line. Well above average art that fit the "feel" of the era perfectly. Just the right mixing of the 2 worlds onto one seamless plot line. Highly recommended

Batman and Tarzan meet in an Elseworlds type story set in 1930's era Gotham. It's your standard Tarzan stuff. Bruce Wayne is hosting a new display of artifacts from Africa. Turns out the archaeologist stole them one one of the hundreds of hidden cities in the Africa of Tarzan lore. So Batman and Tarzan head to Africa to stop Finnegan Dent (No, I don't know why he's not named Harvey.) from going back and pilfering the rest of the city.
Igor Cordey is like a terrible Chris Bachalo on steroids. The characters are drawn at weird angles, out of proportion, typically with humongous heads that make them look like they are wearing those giant African masks.

A Batman/Tarzan crossover comic is going to be a total disaster but sometimes you can’t help but look anyway - I had to know, how bad is a Batman/Tarzan crossover? In actuality it’s plenty bad but not epically bad, y’know? I mean, it’s a Batman/Tarzan comic - what chance did it have, really? Not like something that set out to be good and turned into a trainwreck; this was conceived as a trainwreck and lived up to it.
So Bruce Wayne has for some reason funded an expedition led by Finnegan Dent, an archaeologist, who’s been plundering Africa of its treasures, bringing them back to Gotham where they’ve been put on display in the Thomas and Martha Wayne wing. Oh and Tarzan’s in Gotham. Just ‘cos.
But it turns out the evil Dent’s illegal trip, stealing stuff, has pissed off some of the locals whom those golden statues belonged to. One of them has dressed up like Catwoman to steal them back. Yeah, there’s an undiscovered Ancient Egyptian civilisation in Africa - undiscovered because it was atop a waterfall! Batman realises that he’s been funding a crook but rather than pull the guy’s funding, he lets him get away, then follows him to Africa with Tarzan and Catwoman (not Selina Kyle) to stop him or something. And they do. The end.
Ron Marz is simply an awful writer. Batman’s unable to handle a nobody with a handgun? Garbage! “Claws of the Cat-Woman”? Why even put that as the subtitle when its not about that character, who plays a minor role at best, when the whole thing is really about some mad adventurer unleashed upon Africa by Bruce Wayne? It should be: “Batman/Tarzan: Bruce Wayne’s Folly”!
But really the worst part is that the book highlights just how needless a Batman/Tarzan crossover really is (while also inadvertently showing why Tarzan comics no longer exist). It’s basically just Batman in Africa with some near-naked dude tagging along. Just ‘cos. Does anybody under 50 give a shit about Tarzan?
And when or where is this book set - at the start of Batman’s career in an alternate dimension? Is this an Elseworlds? Batman mentions that he’s not really one for partnering, forgetting the multiple Robins he’s had for decades! Catwoman isn’t Selina Kyle but she’s still Catwoman, the left side of Finnegan Dent’s face is gored by a lion but he doesn’t become Two-Face, he just looks it - what the hell’s going on here?!
As incompetent as Ron Marz’s script is, Igor Kordey’s art is worse. The man can’t get basic things like perspective and anatomy right and completely loses track of how his characters look from panel to panel. For example, they arrive in Africa in the Batplane and there’s a shot from the ground looking up at the Batplane that looks like you’d expect - like you’re looking at a Harrier-class plane, or at least an equivalent of that size. Then in a later panel shot from above and behind the plane, it looks about as big as a mini with a child stood next to it looking like a giant!
Later on after Tarzan kills a gorilla (boo!), one of his legs is on a stone for some reason so his left leg is bent towards the reader but the view is so awkward it looks like his left leg is much shorter than his right and he’s lamenting that difference! Then after Dent’s face is mauled by the lion, it goes from having distinct claw lines across it, with the rest of his face untouched, to gradually having his entire left side of his face ripped off as if the skin had been flayed off it between panels. It’s embarrassing to see this kind of sloppy work in a “professional” comic. No wonder Kordey hasn’t worked for either Marvel or DC since 2004 (this book came out in 2000).
If you’ve never encountered this because your local library doesn’t stock this doozy, count yourself lucky - you dodged a turd bullet! I wanted the Batman/Tarzan crossover to be fun and silly but it was just stupid, boring, and really poorly drawn.
I suppose it has the potential for being a super-gay piece of slash fiction though, especially as one of the covers looks like Batman and Tarzan are about to embrace and lock lips!

Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Cat-Woman is a four-issue miniseries crossover featuring a 1930s Batman teams up with Lord Greystoke/Tarzan to assist the priestess of an African cat-cult protect her people's treasures from two-faced mercenary Finnigan Dent. It was written by Ron Marz with art by Igor Kordey, and was published by DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics. Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Cat-Woman collects all four issues of the 1999 miniseries.
In memory of his murdered parents Bruce Wayne has set up a wing in Gotham's museum, and commissioned an adventurer named Finnegan Dent to locate the artifacts with which to fill it. Dent isn't forthcoming about where he's located items, and at the launch Wayne is introduced to Lord Greystoke, who once went by the name of Tarzan.
It will come as no surprise that Dent has been plundering where he ought not to have been plundering, which brings Batman and Tarzan into contact with the Cat-Woman, Princess Khefretari of Memnon – a hidden African community looted by Dent.
Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Cat-Woman is written and constructed moderately well. Marz manages to blend both mythoi of Batman and Tarzan in a moderate Elseworld story. Marz brought Bruce Wayne/Batman history into the thirties, which coincides with Tarzan coming out of the jungle to claim his heritage as Lord Greystoke. Kordey's page layouts are dynamic and effective – especially the scene-setting sequences of African wildlife and the beauty of the jungle. His Tarzan is imposing and his novice Batman equally so.
All in all, Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Cat-Woman is a mediocre attempt to team-up Batman and Tarzan that maintains a status as a curiosity unlikely to be repeated, but it's only sporadically memorable.

As a fan of both Batman and Tarzan...this was a lot of fun!!!

An outstanding Batman crossover with a surprising Catwoman appearance. Tarzan's repetitious dialogue about "kill or be killed" grated a bit by the end. the art was reminiscent of the best Tarzans of the past.

Una historia exótica que se derrumba apenas empieza. Mantiene cierto interés pero es muy mala. Otro crossover batmaniano fallido
July 22, 2017
Well, that was an interesting crossover. Two of my childhood heroes in one adventurous comic! Isn't that something? Loved Tarzan, didn't see Batman as himself. Cat-Womans origins and her city was quite something, almost dreamlike. If I'd read this when it was first published, I would have been in comicheaven. Last thought: what's with Dents and their faceses?
March 23, 2024
A nice crossover between two characters. The meeting of two heroes made sense and I though the artwork went really well with it. There were also some cool additions to the Batman mythos. All in all, a fun, quick read. No more, no less.
June 15, 2019
Just great: I miss the explosive expressive art of Korday. This is like a Brave & Bold team-up with better color and print reproduction. Now, you have to like Tarzan as well as Batman, as there are some pulp formulae here. All four issues found in back issue bin.
Man, imagine if Bob Haney & Joe Kubert could have done this in 1973-4... in an oversized Treasury Edition. This one will serve.

WOW. Great story. Bruce Wayne hosts another museum benefit only in this case he's hosting with a prominent African-born Englishman by the name of John Clayton, the Viscount of Greystoke. Things seem quiet until a gorgeous woman dressed in a costume resembling a cat comes to steal something from the exhibit. Batman attempts to stop her with the assistance of the great legend known as Tarzan. It turns out the Cat-woman is Khefretari, a princess of a secret African village known as Mamnon, hidden from the world its treasures have been lusted after by the outside world and one of them was taken by a greedy thief named Finnegan Dent. What starts in Gotham City ends up in the city of Mamnon as the Caped Crusader and the Legend of Greystoke stop the villains of this story.
I haven't read much on Tarzan but I love Edgar Rice Burroughs's works and loved this story immensely. Tarzan doesn't have much of Batman's moral code so it was interesting seeing him capable of killing. Batman certainly is amazing in whatever he's in and worked well with Tarzan. I do find it funny but convincing to bring in a Two-Face in Finnegan Dent and a Catwoman in Khefretari. I have to say I do love that he has a type - cat costume hotties in black leather, a nice type. I would love to have a sequel to this, especially with Khefretari. A

Nope...nope...nope...not gonna do it....not gonna do it!
Damn it...I did it! I'm like a moth to a flame, man!
I knew this was going to be pretty bad, but I delved into it anyway!
First off...Tarzan is from like 1880 or something like that and Batman... is... uh... well technically from the 30's...but anyway!
Well....that's really all I got. "Me Tarzan, you Jane!"

Of all of the team-ups I've ever read – this is one of them.
In and of itself, “Batman / Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman” is a nice enough story (with some beautiful artwork). Bruce Wayne sponsors a museum's exhibit of African artifacts ; the opening brings in collection of local luminaries including John “Tarzan” Clayton.
A thief's attempt to abscond with some artifacts in the collection brings Wayne's alter ego to the museum; he and Tarzan fight the thief. Theyend up having to follow her to a hidden city in Africa, where the action reaches a climax and resolution.
As I said, a nice enough story. However, a story that makes use of several “team up” tropes and proves utterly predictable from the introduction to conclusion. (To be fair, writer Marz does have to keep multiple masters happy – DC Comics, Darkhorse Comics, and the Burroughs estate. Conditions like that don't often lend themselves to radical surprises.) The author DOES take some time to explore the similarities and differences between our two protagonists – both orphans who fight for what they believe to be right, both acknowledged masters of their craft and their environment. And, as I stated, the artwork is top notch. STILL … if author Marz had just taken a LITTLE time to allow the “Detective” aspect of the Batman to emerge, a more creative and entertaining story may have emerged.
RATING: 3 stars. It … simply is.

Um encontro entre Batman e Tarzan era inevitável. Uma vez que os dois foram crianças de origem aristocrática e que tiveram seus pais assassinados quando pequenos. Enquanto um foi criado pela selva, o outro foi criado pela selva urbana. Claro que um encontro entre os dois teria que acontecer numa realidade alternativa, num Elseworld, porque o Batman é uma criatura do século XX e o Tarzan, pertence ao século XIX. E é neste último que esse encontro acontece, trazendo versões distorcidas de Duas-Caras (como um supremacista branco) e da Mulher-Gato (uma sacerdetisa de uma cidade egípcia esquecida e vilipendiada pelos colonizadores). Os desenhos de Igor Kordey são muito superiores às artes que ele fez para o universo dos X-Men, mas o roteiro de Ron Marz são, como a maioria de seus trabalhos, flats, rasos, sem nenhuma surpresa ou admiração. Uma pena, pois esse encontro poderia ter rendido muitas histórias mais bem desenvolvidas e aventurescas. Li essa história numa minissérie em duas edições, coproduzidas pela Dark Horse e a DC Comics e publicada no Brasil pela Mythos Editora, a editora que adorava publicar crossovers de baixa qualidade.

Well I loved it. Keep in mind, my opinion is biased as I am a big fan of the original Tarzan novels.
I think Batman being originally published in the 1930s, this story seems plausible as it takes place in that time period. In was good ol' fashioned pulp. Art was well done and there was plenty of action. I would love to see a follow up series created one day.
Favorite quote-
"I don't understand you. You don't give a though to killing a man, yet you show such concern for an animal."
"The animal is my friend. The man was my enemy. I wonder what you would do, Batman, facing a life-and-death choice. "

Ron Marz scrive una buona storia, ambientata negli anni '30, dove saltano agli occhi i parallelismi tra i due eroi e i loro intenti protettivi nei confronti dei loro stessi territori. C'è il mistero, c'è lo scontro e l'alleanza, c'è la Cat-Woman per me più convincente di sempre a livello di motivazioni.
C'è un villain un poco in ombra, ma è per via delle forti personalità di Batman e Tarzan.
Poi ci sono i disegni di Kordney. A me piacciono poco, e non solo qui. Ma nel complesso risultano comunque godibili a tratti, e in qualche caso rendono.
3 stelle, ma non posso pensare che con un altro disegnatore la quarta stella sarebbe stata quasi automatica.

If you like Tarzan, this is the book for you!! I love Tarzan and I'm ok with Batman but together, they make a great team for a great story!! Meeting in Gotham City at a museum, they find that the explorer is wanted for stealing artifacts from a local African village. This is told by a girl from the village that has tracked him down to gotham city.
The two of them go to Africa to confront him and that's where the story really gets going!
Having read all of the Tarzan books, I feel that I know the character very well and Marz knew the background and how Tarzan lived.
It is one of my favorite graphic novels!!

It takes some liberties when it comes to both Batman's capability and his Mythos. However, all can be forgiven as this isn't canon. It feels less like a Batman/Tarzan crossover and more like a continuation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books. The art is quite good and the fight scenes are indeed enjoyable. However, I doubt that the weak imitation of Catwoman should've been able to injure Batman. They get Batman's cape and look correct. Enjoyable to read. I'm not going to carp about the unrelated title.

Another amazing story, incredible graphic novel and just beautiful art!!!
Samo još jedan dokaz, koliko priča o Batmanu postoje, koliko, da kažemo spinofa - ako je to prava reč u ovom kontekstu/slučaju, dakle koliko avantura za koje nismo sanjali da postoje a kamo li čuli... #oduševljen

Kordey's intense art pushed this to a 4th star- the story was too formulaicliche.
More portmanteau?
This Sakhmet Africatwoman is SEXY- even when Kordey renders her in "Frank Miller rough" fashion.
Kordey: "It is not history which repeats itself, but human stupidity."
->and it's still REGULARLY used to incite and justify atrocities!

The illustration is magnificent but the plot is an alibi to join Batman and Tarzan in the same comic book and doesn't work well
