Well, here’s a crossover you probably weren’t expecting…
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!
Via CBR, the six issue miniseries will come courtesy of writer James Tynion IV and artist Freddie E. Williams II, with Tynion stating that: “I’ve been extremely lucky to spend so much time working in Gotham City, but it’s always a thrill to see the world of Batman through new eyes. Taking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a Gotham Adventure is a fanboy dream come true.”
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. Krang concocts a plan to rid himself of both the Turtles and Shredder by transporting them to another dimension, where they land in the dark and dangerous streets of Gotham City. It isn’t long before they encounter Gotham’s most famous resident, Batman. The Caped Crusader may be their only hope of overcoming their enemies and getting back home. But not before they encounter a whole cast of Gotham’s most infamous rogues.
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will get underway this November.
