Cowabunga, Batman! - TMNT and Batman Crossover

Dudes and Dudettes, DC Entertainment and IDW are crossing universes again! This time, those four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that everyone loves and the Dark Knight himself will be colliding in Gotham City. This comic book miniseries is scheduled to come out in November and will total six-parts, with a new release every month.

The story will be brought to life by James Tynion IV (BATMAN: ETERNAL, CONSTANTINE) and star artist Freddie E. Williams II (ROBIN, CAPTAIN ATOM) handling interior and cover art.  In addition, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and other to-be-announced artists will illustrate variant covers.

 “Taking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a Gotham adventure is a fanboy dream come true,” explained writer James Tynion IV.

Uh, you can say that again! No joke, my two favorite comic book characters are coming together, finally! Honestly, I'm a little surprised this hasn't happened before - but regardless, I had a nerd-overload when I saw this announced.

Here's the synopsis:

"In the ongoing power struggle between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, General Krang, and the Foot Clan, allegiances have shifted and the battle lines have been drawn. Krang concocts a plan to rid himself of both the Turtles and Shredder by transporting them to another dimension, where they land in the dark and dangerous streets of Gotham City. It isn't long before they encounter Gotham's most famous resident, Batman.  The Caped Crusader may be their only hope of overcoming their enemies and getting back home. But not before they encounter a whole cast of Gotham's most infamous rogues."
