Summary: Batman adapted for Spawn's world.
Review: Spawn comics are typically thin emotionally. Since hischaracter is pretty awfully constructed, Batman has to dumb himselfdown to fit into his comic book. The colors are garish, the dialogueis awful, and the layouts stink. As others have said, the pinups(i.e. every panel) are cute. The inside back cover is a dedication toJack Kirby, which, when you think about it, is absolutelyhilarious. Frank Miller is an enigma; it seems that he has a severecase of multiple personality disorder... hopefully, his forthcomingsequel to "The Dark Knight Returns" will be written on agood day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The book is a little too emotionally bland.
Review: This book is bland in comparison to other great batman titles.......Instead of exploring the psyche of the big b and GC it explores the dislike between batman and initially anyone who enters his city....blah!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST COMIC EVER
Review: This is by far the coolest comic for sale. Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane rule. As a team they kick. I recomend to buy this. if you've ever read a Spawn or Batman comic and were happy, than you'll love this. The art is excellent. The story is a typical Batman one but with a hole new twist. The fighting between the two is awesome. Spawn and Batman perfectly blend to make an awesome comic. Batmanseternal struggle to do whats right match with Spawn and his attitude rocks.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Can we combine this with Batman/Spawn: War Devil?
Review: This story had all the hallmarks of a great Batman tale. The dialogue was fresh, gritty, and totally Batman--Frank Miller style. Plus, with McFarlane's art, how can you go wrong? When you try to include the plot. While the dialogue and interaction between Spawn and Batman make this a must-read for diehard fans, the plot is severely uninteresting. Ironically enough, in the other crossover, War Devil, the plot is the only good point in an art-poor, dialogue-poor story. So if we could just find a way to combine the two, we'd have a seriously good Batman story. Anyway, the comic's worth the money, just to see Batman go toe-to-toe with a demon from hell and hold his own. Not to mention all the great one-liners and Batman quotes. Oh yeah, and Mr. Arrogant's art isn't too bad, either.

Summary: The two titans clash!!!
Review: This was one of the best comics that I have ever read.It joins the action of Batman and the dramatic magic of Spawn.The reason why Batman even goes looking for Spawn is becuade he has some how linked several disappearences to a mysterious "bum" named Al Simmons.On Batmans hunt he runs into Spawn.He then finds out that Al Simmons is Spawn.Right about when the two are about to fight a huge machine appears.The machine has been programed to destroy Spawn and since Batman was in the machines way he was thrown into the fight.After a long battle they finally destroy the machine,and on closer expection they see that a woman's company built the machine.Batman tells Spawn to back off,but Spawn refuses.Too exausted to convince him through force Batman throws a smoke bomb and disappears.Still refusing Batman,Spawn proceeded to the company where he met Batman.They found the main office and after roaming through some files they found out that the woman was going to launch a nuke to the capital.On the night she was going to do it she had planned a big party on New York harbor so Batman decided to crash the party.Now I don't want to spiol the ending so if you can get one of these rare comics then you should,you won't be disappionted.

Summary: Pointless as well as Plotless
Review: Unfortunately this is a terrible book. I simply cannot for the life of be believe that Frank Miller wrote this. Of all the stuff he has written this is by far his worst. Hey, I even like his much malaigned The Dark Knight Strikes Again, but this is just ridiculous.
Batman is written to be some absurd caped crusader that keeps on called Spawn a punk. Batman has seriously lost his marbles in this book. Spawn, ironically enough, is portrayed much more human than his counterpart.
The plot involves some absurd story of doctors using robots and voodoo. I kid you not.
Frank what happened?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just plain bad stuff...
Review: When I bought this book, I really wanted to like it. For me, Frank Miller has always seemed to take ordinary comics heroes, give them a few twists, portray them in a new light, and still entertain you while he's doing it. He did that in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Daredevil:Born Again. Unfortunately this time Miller's script really is just the "same old thing" with all the cliches that come with super character team-ups. Two supercharacters are drawn together by common problem, the two characters fight for a while, two characters put aside differences to solve common problem (that isn't all that interesting anyway), and finally two characters go their seperate ways. McFarlane doesn't help the cause for the fact that he is well known for drawing flashy pin-up type pictures instead of panels that help to tell the story. If you want to look at a couple nice shots of Spawn and Batman jumping off rooftops and looking "intense", then maybe you'd like this. But, if you are looking for a well-written and drawn story that will enthrall you or make you think, then stay away from this one folks! Go buy Batman: Year One or one of Miller's Sin City collections and enjoy.

Summary: old and grumpy new and snoby
Review: wow,this brings back memories.the first time i saw the cover of this book was way back in '94, in batman nightquest days,azrael days.and after nine years ,i managed to get hold of a copy,thanks to amazon.
about the book:good art,good coloring,but bad story.
the book says it's a companion piece to dc's the dark knight returns. a frank miller story.batman in it has the same feelings as in the dark knight returns, old and grumpy,minus the great story of course.and it's about illegal military weapon experiments with robots,which batman accidentally discovers,and takes him to new york,were he collides with spawn for vigilante methods differences,until the obviuos end. spawn looks great and angry as usual .mcfarlane's art is good.and there is a nice surprise on the last page.but the boring story...
for collectors only.
p.s can somebody asks dc to print more azrael graphic novels?
there is only knight's end knightfall,and the sword
