The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have come to the DC Universe!
And the good news is that TMNT and their mentor, Splinter have formed a bond with Gotham City’s Dark Knight after an initial misunderstanding. The bad news is that Shredder and the Foot are also in Gotham. The potentially fatal news is that the Turtles’ lives are at risk if they don’t get a new batch of mutagen soon!
The Turtles’ friend, Casey Jones has made the perilous journey to the DCU to deliver a life-saving dose of mutagen, but it’s been cruelly snatched away by Shredder and his new ally, Ra’s al Ghul. Now, the alliance between the Foot and the League of Assassins is bringing the mutagen to Arkham Asylum, the home of Batman’s greatest enemies!
In CraveOnline’s exclusive preview for Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 5, Batman and introduces Commissioner Gordon to his new friends as another Bat-villain makes a desperate attempt to align with the Dark Knight against their common foe. But is it too late to save the Turtles?
And here’s an alternate cover for the issue by TMNT co-creator, Kevin Eastman!
“While Shredder enters an uneasy alliance with a deadly new partner, Casey Jones is arrested by the GCPD. At the same time, a crisis breaks out at Arkham Asylum, which is bound to keep both Batman and the Turtles busy. Meanwhile, a certain young resident of Wayne Manor returns home to find a new, green occupant in his room.”
