Summary: The ultimate test!
Review: The Batman takes on someone or something that may indeed be more than he can handle. A hunter is loose in Gotham City. After taking many lesser trophies he sets his sights on the Batman. By the end of the book, the Batman looks like more like Azrael. While I enjoyed seeing the Batman against the Predator, and it was very exciting (and bloody), I had a few problems with some of the Batman's and the Predator's actions. But the novelty and action overcome any real problems I have with the characters. Just look at the Batman movies, they have little relation to the true characters but they are exciting. To enjoy this book you must look at it in the same way.... I would recommend this to book to anyone who enjoys action

Summary: A fun and thrilling cross-over
Review: The title speaks for itself: Batman vs. Predator

When a series of bloody, brutal murders suddenly strike an abnormally hot and humid Gotham city, the Dark Knight himself begins an investigation that leads to a near-fatal confrontation with the deadliest hunter in the universe, the Predator! Totally unprepared for such a brutal onslaught, a severely beaten Batman must rely on more extreme methods to win...

Whether you like one and hate the other, or if you like both titular characters, you'll love this collection! The classic atmosphere, drama and story element of the Batman comics is persistent throughout. This particular story is also one of the bloodier Batman comics in its time, so this is clearly not one for the kids...

Probably one of the best aspects of this story is the mind games between the Predator and Batman. The impact of the Predator on Gotham city is great, and after the first encounter leaves Batman almost crippled, the Predator has free run of Gotham. Throughout this time, the Predator cleverly tries to lure the wounded bat from his cave, knowing that his prey has escaped him, and the Batman is, in fact, the greatest prey in this concrete jungle. Some of the tactics involve manipulation of the bat-signal, to even a timely 'interruption' of an urgent phone call from the Commisioner to Batman himself!

As a fan of the Predator, and a former comic book reader, I can honestly say that Batman vs. Predator is one of the best comic compilations i have been able to pick up in quite some time. While the two sequels it spawned were not quite as good, this particular story has enough atmosphere, story and action to keep you reading til the very end. A great read if you are a comic book fan, and a MUST read for fans of either title character!

Summary: Batman At His Best!
Review: This is the first comic featuring Predator that I have read.It was a gripping tale.The most powerful people in Gotham being hunted and murdered.The artwork was excellent and the story was ace!The reason I only gave this book 4 stars because its all action and if you want a regular Batman book then I wouldn't buy this one.But it is still ace, best comic book I have read in a long time.

Summary: Finally.. A worthy Advesary for the Bat
Review: This was an excellent Batman comic; excellent writing and artwork combined. It was great for Batman to have an opponent that was so difficult to face, as Batman didn't really know what he was up against in the beginning. An excellent comic, I recommend it to all Batman/Predator fans.

Summary: Go Alfred Go
Review: To me the test of a good Batman writer is how well they handle Commisioner Gordon and Alfred, and Dave Gibbons' alfred is only matched by Frank Miller. That alone is enough for me.
