This is your fairly typical crossover type book. The heroes meet, beat hell outta' each other then team up to beat the real bad guy. McFarlane's art in this book is pretty cool but I guess the cartoony thing has gotten to me. Batman's dialogue is goofy. Alfred gets some funny lines, though.
Spawn/Batman is an entertaning piece of the dark era that spawned (no pun intended) during the 90s. It tells a story of two heroes teaming up to defeat a common enemy, that is after a big unnecessary fight. Batman seriously have to take courses on diplomacy, eh?For those who ask how did this crossover happened, it simply did, with just a hint of being an elseworld story.Except for the fact that we have Spawn and Batman as protagonists, this comic has nothing much to offer. Like many 80s and 90s
Moronic.EDIT: But not the worst comic out there. THIS is the worst comic: http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/20...
I remember my dad reading this to me one as a kid when I was sick and tired of all the usual bedtime stories I used to get read! Rereading this now as an adult was fun and brought back so many memories!
Amazing artwork, lousy story. Good for a Todd McFarlene fan, bad for a Batman fan.
Storyline is a lame excuse to make the Hellspawn battle Bats like two spoiled brats and Miller's depiction of a psychopatic Batman ia almost as bad as the one in All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder.The top-seller 1994 comic-book is still as bad as I used to remember, but McFarlane's artworks saved this review from the ☆ banishment.
It is truly a delight to have two of my favourite superheroes in the same comic, and it's exactly what any fan of Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane would expect it to be, and it was delivered as a once in a lifetime event for fans.
The 90s trash at its finest! Luckily Miller does the script and McFarlane the art and not vice versa. But on the other hand, it couldn't be much worse.The story is very short so it has to be simple too. Batman discovers some robot with a severed human head inside and all the tracks lead to NYC. He meets Spawn and they fight for a couple of pages while dropping cheesy oneliners. The amount of someone saying "punk" is too damn high! Then fight is broken up by another of those robots and they reali...
Deduct one star for brevity.
You can find my review on our blog by clicking here.Call me insane, but I’m on a mission here. If there’s one comic book legend that I vow to know inside and out, it’s going to have to be Frank Miller. Although Frank Miller has created some the most iconic comic book stories in the industry, he has also made some of the most atrocious garbage that you could wish to never come across. After all, what else would you call The Dark Knight Strikes Again, if not cow manure? Author of The Dark Knight R...
Having literally just read two collections of comics by writers who don’t get it, Spawn/Batman was all the more refreshing. Todd McFarlane, Spawn, and his art aren’t really my cup of tea. This is about Frank Miller. I still can’t comprehend how recent readers have totally lost the thread of his genius, but it’s even found here. I mean, seriously!
DEAR GOD WHAT IS THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE?!?!
A second Batman/Spawn crossover, but this one is not a sequel to the first story. This is set in Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns continuity and takes place years before TDKR. And while if this story takes place in New York City, it's more focused on Batman than the previous Batman/Spawn crossover.Artwork is very good, although a sometimes-grinning Batman looks strange. The story is interesting, I really enjoyed the scene with Alfred, but I didn't like Batman's dialogues - he sound...
I recently reread this comic since I remembered liking it as a teen and since I saw some other books, films, comics that I still like I wondered whether this would be one of them.Was it? Not even remotely. Reading this made me realize how good it is not to be a teen anymore since damn, is this book stupid and clichéd. And considered that the author is known for writing Batman and the artists is the one who had created Spawn you would think that both “heroes” are at least in-character but not eve...
I've had this one in my collection for a long time. Perhaps the story is a bit short and underwhelming, but it's hard to hate the artwork. And it's absolutely a joy to see these two fight and then eventually come together. Any time I look at this comic book, I'm taken back to middle school.
Well....that was y'know.....something. I haven't read a Frank Miller book since his Daredevil run, and that was him at the top of his game. This, however, was entertaining yet annoying. Let me just say the dynamic between Batman and Spawn I think was nailed. I don't know a lot about Spawn, but I know enough to say that I liked the dynamic between these 2 characters. Both of them will talk a big game, but when they are alone they will almost collapse from fighting each other and I loved that. Tod...
The art is the good part, this one is a little silly, but it is fun. Happy to have read it.
How do you feel about Frank Miller’s Batman? For me, Frank Miller’s take on Batman is always an enjoyable experience, yes even the much reviled “All Star Batman & Robin”, but if you especially hate the Goddamn Batman, you’re not going to like this one either. I like Miller’s take on the character because he writes him as a sociopathic rage machine in a cowl - no one else writes Batman in this distinct way and I think it’s hilarious. The plot to this brief 50 page one-shot is necessarily uncompli...
This was ok. People are dissing this comic since the day it came out and I don't know why. It's not that bad. It sure could be better but also it could be a lot worse. The artwork was classic nineties and the dialogues were fun. The action is not the best but that's all right. For me the biggest problem with this comic is that it's too fast. Every development in the action or in the relationship between the characters happened way faster than they should. I believe that this comic could be way b...
Ran into a copy of this and read it again. Still solid artwork by McFarlane, and I've seen worse from Frank Milller. 4/5
