If you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, chances are that Batman meeting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is nothing new. That same meeting likely took place across countless bunk-beds and living room floors the world over, so if anything, this new crossover from DC Comics and IDW is behind the curve. Procrastination aside, this first union of pop-culture juggernauts delivers in just about every regard. Buoyed by the obvious fandom emanating from creators James Tynion IV and Freddie Williams II, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 is a rock solid (shell solid?) hit that offers the best of both worlds.
Given the rabid, enduring fandom that both properties have enjoyed, this initial pairing could have been easily lumped in with the other solid, but unspectacular attempts at crossing franchise streams that have come before. In another hand that may have well been the case, but with James Tynion IV at the helm the read is as seamless as it is downright enjoyable. The writer doesn’t waste time in unnecessary setup – the initial crossover itself features very little fanfare—instead focusing the bulk of this first issue on bringing together the title’s eponymous leads. Some would argue that said meeting culminates a bit too fast, and while there’s certainly some merit to that, having a shared universe without any universe sharing just won’t do.
