Predator acts way out of character in this, randomly killing pets. And then repeatedly going after boxers seemed strange. Batman is also in only maybe a third of the story. Most of the story is clunky exposition coming from the 6 O'Clock News and random Predator kills. The story was much lamer than I remembered. The art by the Kuberts is good.

Almost best Batman crossover ever.Loved the storyline, the Kubert bros amazing artworks and the Predator 2 movie flick vibe, sadly the Hunter killing dogs, cats and an old unarmed boxer seemed acting too much out of character for me.Five stars missed by an inch, what a shame.

I mention a couple spoilers in the review but here’s the only spoiler you need to know: this comic is pants! This is gonna be an unpopular opinion (what’s new?) but the first Predator movie sucked. I’ve seen it twice now, ten years apart just in case it was an age thing, and hated it both times. It’s boring. Actors who can’t act go into a jungle and are repetitively hunted by an alien until Ahnuld kills the alien. Snore. But a lot of people liked it and a lot of people like Vs comics, especially...

Very nice Batman & Predator story. Great job merging the two into a nice comic story. Good art made this an excellent read. Very recommended

I read this graphic novel at the prompting of my husband, and I really enoyed the story. It started off with Batman as more of the detective until the time for his first one-on-one encounter with the predator. The story jumps around from different perspectives quickly, but that is part of what gives the book such a nice pace. Without a spoiler, I thought the ending was fitting. I'm definitely reading the next one (Batman versus Predator II). The artwork was well done and added to the overall sto...

How can it be that one of the best Predator stories contains Batman? It seems odd, but it works. Batman must deal the Hunter's as they arrive in Gotham City. Highly recommended...

A decent cross-over. It's not canon material, so just sit back and enjoy the story. Something I wasn't completely sold on was the boxer as the Predator's victim. I know the boxer was a champion, but surely a mobster's hitman (or some other high-profile killer) would have been a far more appropriate trophy.

"I don't believe it's of this world. I think it's on safari here in Gotham, choosing only the biggest, most powerful prey to hunt . . . it almost caught me." -- expositionary dialogue courtesy of BatmanViewed now as a little slice of early 90's nostalgia (piggybacking on the success of the original and excellent '87 film, plus the so-so sequel three year later), Batman vs. Predator delivers exactly what it promises in the succinct title. The mysterious extraterrestrial creature covertly arrives

Hunter's Moon... Predators always look for preys at their prime, the best of the spieces, fastest, strongest... They live for the challange of the hunt. And what better prey but Batman could live up to these standarts. A Predator at Gotham, found Batman. Even Batman was unprepared for such a fierces hunter, and bearly escaped in batmobile after a big and pretty much one sided battle against the Predator, with heavy wounds from the battle. But leaving Batman alive was a big mistake, Batman got he...

haha what wasn't there to love? Of course, spoiler alert, the predator always loses. It's sad, one day i'd like to read a story where the predator actually kills the hero... ah well.

I remember reading this story back when it first came out and loving it quite a bit. The nostalgia factor is still there, of course, but I still found myself enjoying the narrative (despite the authors not quite following the 'canon' established in the Predator movies). I have usually enjoyed crossovers between major companies, and I remember how excited and nervous I was when I first learned of this crossover. So, yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time I read it. Now, I still enjoyed it,

Batman vs. Predator is a comic book crossover featuring a duel between Batman and a member of the titular extraterrestrial race from the Predator film franchise. Batman vs. Predator collects all three issues of the 1991–1992 limited series. It was written by Dave Gibbons with art by Andy and Adam Kubert, and was published by DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics.Bruce Wayne as Batman is called upon to investigate a murder – a grisly one, albeit an unusual one, which consists of a spine and skull remov...

I can't understand why this has no ratings. I have the original comics that are contained in this book and they are absolutely fantastic. These are your typical Batman comics with mob bosses and Batman playing the detective of why they're being knocked off. But he's never met an adversary like this before... and the Predator is out for blood!Fantastic story and great artwork! This should be on every Batman fan's shelf!

Probably one of the best crossovers you will ever read in comics!

Batman vs Predator is a great crossover from the early 90’s. Generally I don’t like the idea of crossovers, but this was an extremely entertaining and goofy story with amazing art from the Kubert brothers.

Nice crossover for the Dark Knight taking on one of the deadliest foes of the 1990's.

This is a case study on how you could make good comics by crossing different franchises, without selling out, without simply milking what is already popular. A Predator comes to Gotham City, the epitome of an urban jungle and proceeds to hunt what it considers "its strongest", starting with prize fighters, moving on to major mob bosses, then the politicians and finally the police.Above all, obviously, the Batman, the only one to whom the Predator accords some respect.There is a whole lot of alle...

During the greater excesses of the 90s, the idea of versus comics were booming. There had always been a craze for seeing one character fight another, but three particular staples of science fiction found dominance during this time: Xenomorphs, Predators and Terminators. A big part of their success came down to the surprisingly excellent early Alien Vs Predator comics, and deals were made between DC and Dark Horse to have their heroes take the fight to the aliens and machines. Even up to as late

I wonder if Dave Gibbons had seen Predator 2 before he began writing this series, because the urban landscape and the way the Predator cut through various mob bosses reminded me of the doomed sequel in some ways. Fortunately, Gibbons' script was better.It's hardly cutting edge stuff, but it's fun for what it is. The bosses are all fairly basic, none of whom will stick with you long after you put the book down, but Gibbons does use them well to build up the Predator's fearsome stature. The only p...
