Batman meets the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the upcoming crossover miniseries, set in none other than Gotham City.
At Comic-Con San Diego Friday, DC Entertainment and IDW Publishing announced their latest crossover miniseries, which features the Dark Knight teaming up with the Heroes in a Half Shell.
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.
“Batman is the world’s most popular Super Hero. He continues to be reimagined and this new crossover showcases his ongoing appeal as a global pop icon for the ages,” said Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics, Bob Harras.
“We here at IDW have very much enjoyed working with DC Entertainment on fan favorite crossover comics,” said IDW President, Greg Goldstein. “TMNT is a global phenomenon, beloved by millions. Pairing the Turtles with Batman will prove to be a publishing event that transcends comic book culture.”
Writer James Tynion IV added “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.”
Here is the provided teaser for the upcoming series:
“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.”
