The Dark Knight meets the Heroes on a Half Shell in this DC Universe animated adventure. Loosely based on the crossover comic event, “Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” unites super-villains The Shredder and Ra’s al Ghul in a plan to tear Gotham City apart using… OOZE! What else would it be?
On this episode of Ninja Turtle Talk live, Shaun and Tyler discuss the visual style, the eclectic use of the Batman rogues gallery, the odd mix of violence and goofball humor and the comic book origins of the movie. Tyler nerds out about the entire run – the original crossover, the two sequels and the Batman: The Animated Series/Nickelodeon TMNT crossover – and Shaun pretends to be interested. Tyler discusses what he missed most from the comic, as well as what new elements work well for the movie. Restore the Batman-Raphael subplot!
The Turtle Maniacs also dive deep on mutated Batman villains, the geographical logistics of Gotham and New York City existing in the same universe, ideas for a sequel film and what major franchise the TMNT should crossover to next.
Bonus! We talk about sloppy pizza. Where are the Turtles ordering this stuff?
We also take fan phone calls! Maybe! The phone lines are open!
