To the icon of a man who became an inspiration and arguably, the standard by lending his voice to one of the most iconic hero in comic history, who represents justice and hope in the darkest of times such as the dark alleyways and perilous streets of Gotham City.

To the Bat, who inspired multitude of fans, who mourned his death weeks ago...

I want to celebrate your life and just say:

Thank you KEVIN CONROY.

BATMAN / TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1-6 FEBRUARY - JULY 2016 BY JAMES TYNION IV, FREDDIE E. WILLIAMS II, JEREMY COLWELL, KEVIN EASTMAN AND TOMI VARGA

In an “imaginary” story (at least for IDW’S TMNT), the Turtles get sent to the DCU along with Shredder and the Foot Clan and now they find themselves trying to get back to their world before reverting back to their former selves. And then Batman comes in.

SCORE: 8

I remember reading this mini a while back when it came out and feeling things were a bit odd. This was before I managed to read the origin story from Volume five, so some things seemed like they didn’t belong into the continuity I knew. At least for the Turtles. For Batman, this takes place in the “DCYOU” era (right before Rebirth), so I was very up to date with that.

In reality, you do not need to read either book to understand this story. While it could fit the Batman canon, it just doesn’t fit for TMNT (and was considered non-canon). However, it is based in the current IDW version.

There is also a movie.

Anyway, I found the story very solid in terms of characters, but it has some issues in terms of plot that I feel had a better development but had to be sacrificed for length.

Freddie Williams II does a nice set of turtles, especially because of his particular style, the shading on them reminds me of the old black and white versions.

But as I said, this story has a lot of shortcuts that I don’t think could have been avoided with just six issues.
