James Tynion IV is leaning on a tried-and-tested structure with Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but for a project like this, I actually have to say that's a great idea. When you have a hook as simple as this, you don't need to reinvent the wheel - you just need to have a solid grip on characterization, and then let these mythologies clash as often as possible. If you're a fan of Batman: The Animated Series or anything Turtle-related, you're going to want to buy this book immediately. Read Full Review

Everyone expected (or at least hoped) that this crossover would be good. So far, it's been great, Williams' fluid line work meshing perfectly with Tynion's fantastic characterization. This book is truly the best of both worlds, and with some legitimately interesting plot threads now in play, it only looks to get better from here. Read Full Review

Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a surprisingly great crossover series. The worlds are blended seamlessly and in a way that adds a lot of drive to the narrative. The art possesses a cross between digital and analog styles that makes the series a standout from much of what is on the shelves. Get on this one! Read Full Review

The second issue of this miniseries is a step up from an already pretty great first issue. The entertainment value on this book is through the roof. While I would say there was not much story, it really compensates with the Turtles characterizations and their interactions with each other and the world around them. I have high hopes that this book will get better and better, but if it stays this good, I'll be just fine. I recommend this book for anybody who loves a fun time. Read Full Review

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2 moves the established narrative forward in an exciting fashion, with the creative team giving us a thrilling confrontation between the Dark Knight and the Heroes in a Halfshell. This is all given much needed depth, with the expansion on the Ninja Turtles mission giving us some interesting twists along the way. Read Full Review

While I didn't feel this was the perfect "10" the first issue was, it's still pretty freaking good. I'm wondering where Tynion will take the series next and how the shaky Shredder/Penguin alliance will pan out. Read Full Review

This series is way better than it has any business being. Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2 is another fantastic issue in this intercompany crossover. Tynion and Williams have given this series their best efforts, which has resulted in a series that is enjoyable for fans of any age. Regardless of your familiarity with Batman or the Turtles' comic book mythos, anyone should be able to jump into this series. And they definitely should, as their reward will be a taut story that is both thrilling and joyful. Read Full Review

If you were to only buy one issue of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this is probably the issue to buy. It's more fun that the first issue and (I don't know if I mentioned this yet) you get to see a fight between Batman and the Ninja Turtles. It's hard to see how Tynian IV and Williams II can top that spectacle. It'll be cool to see the Turtles team up with Batman to take on Shredder and the Penguin, but this might be the high. Either way, this is a great issue and well worth the price of admission. Read Full Review

Overall another great issue and Im looking forward to this series continuing next month. Read Full Review

On the flip side of our heroes, the criminal kingpin Penguin is shown having made an uneasy alliance with the Shredder, and of course, trouble isnt far behind. To see how the heroes and the Shredder react and adapt to this universe is a joy to see, especially Splinters part in this issue. This is a fantastic second issue, and for me, overshadows the first issues level of greatness. This is a fun series, one that is going as fans had hoped: full of familiar faces, fights and answers the age old question: who would win? Read Full Review

A solid second entry, it does what the sophomore installment should do: brings everything together and furthers the plot while introducing new aspects and elements that up the intrigue. The tone is solid, and the personalities of the characters are on point, but while the art is still a little rough it isn't a deal breaker. This, along with Batman's adventures with U.N.C.L.E., are some of the stronger offerings to come along in the miniseries format recently, and if they can keep this level of quality we've got some good Batman comics in the coming months.

The story never seems to become focused enough. It jumps around from one place to another. Read Full Review

Again, this comic is uneven from start to finish. Readers who really enjoyed the first issue will probably continue to appreciate the material, but those on the fence should probably hop off. It doesnt look like this mini-series is going to improve much. Its really depressing because this event deserved better representation and story. Read Full Review

the quality of the series continues strong, and the the characters are just as compelling! the issue starts off with plenty of action but also plenty of humor. this is such a fun series, and it's written very accessible for people who might not be familiar to either franchise. but both parties are represented equally as well.

This book feels like a bit of a watered down version of both Batman and those pizza loving Green Teens, but this book does a good job of giving readers who are less familiar with the current Batman continuity something to latch onto- that is Bruce Wayne as Batman. This issue gives us a good long look at Shredder and Splinter, who are a couple of super bad dudes. Splinter is much more of the tough, grizzled character that I remember from the original films, and Shredder is as gigantic and buff as he has ever looked. I like what got revealed in this issue, and the humor of the Turtles being in the Batcave. This book is very well written (Tynon has written some of the only passable issues of Batman & Robin Eternal) and I like the artwork, because it makes the Turtles a bit darker and Batman a little less dark than what I was expecting them to be coming into this book. This wasn’t a great issue, but it was a solid second issue, and it moved the story ahead with an interesting twist, and sets up the next issue pretty well. more
