Review of 'Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars



A true DC-esque, capital-C Crisis, but with TMNT and Batman mixed up. Krang, having been beaten multiple times in multiple ways, has decided to put all his problem children in one melded, hand-crafted multiverse, specifically designed to keep both the Turtles and Batman weakened and unable/unwilling to fight back while he attempts to take down essentially the first world, the world of the original TMNT comics, where Krang didn't exist.

It's a bit of a messy story as multiverses usually are, but I loved the different take on the Joker, the different roles of April and Casey, and Batman coming to terms both with his "fake" family and his OG Bat-family and how to reconcile the two. I also loved the different art styles, with the original TMNT comic-style Turtles alongside the new school Batman-styled Turtles.

It was great fun, and a nice cap on a fun trilogy.
