Comic book to unite Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

You know how every now and then, a comic book company will advertise a new series by saying something like “Because YOU demanded it“, but it only delivers on that promise about half the time?

Having launched the Star Trek/Green Lantern limited series this past Wednesday [read our review of the first issue here], IDW Publishing and DC Comics have announced that they are to collaborate on another crossover as Batman teams up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The upcoming six-part monthly miniseries will bring the Turtles to Gotham City this November, where “fans will see the Dark Knight fight like never before with wall-to-wall ninja action” according to an announcement on the DC Comics blog. “TMNT is a global phenomenon, beloved by millions”. Updated: 07:56 EST, 11 July 2015 She may be one of Hollywood’s most handsome actresses yet Megan Fox is much more than a pretty face as she’s proved countless times while filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.The model turned screen siren exhibited her athletic prowess as she shot a high-octane scene on the set of the superhero sequel on Friday.Megan, 29, was photographed fleeing the scene of the crime in a form-fitting outfit which emphasized her fit physique.

In the ongoing power struggle between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, General Krang, and the Foot Clan, allegiances have shifted and the battle lines have been drawn.

I guess the two aren’t fighting each other, but joining forces. Here’s a thought exercise that I think Donatello would propose: if Gotham City is supposed to be modeled after New York City, and New York is famous for its pizza, would the DC universe’s favorite pizza be Gotham-style pizza?

As much fun as this sounds, the TMNT are also overdue for a crossover with Marvel’s Daredevil.
