- Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, Linkara checks out the strange crossover between Batman and the Aliens franchise!
atopthefourthwa...
Originally released January 14th, 2019.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: I say we take off and send a batarang down from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
“YOU FOOL! A GUN CAN’T STOP ONE FACE!”
One of my new favorite lines from this show.
Now I can't help thinking about that one Robot Chicken sketch. "FIVE FACE!!"
Did they ever retcon One Face out before the (I assume) reboot that happened in Doomsday Clock?
"HE CAN SIMPLY SLAP THE BULLET BACK AT YOU!"
We may make fun of Batman not being impresed about the ship, but, c'mon. This is the DC universe and he is a member of the Justice League. He sees one every other Tuesday.
Agreed. He literally works with two aliens and a space cop. And that's not mentioning the woman that is either a divine golem of clay or a demi-goddess. His "that's weird" place is not somewhere normal people dare to tread.
@@LupineShadowOmega Not to mention the ships in the Alien universe tend to be huge chunks of primitive metal. At this point, Bruce probably trains Robins to pilot better ships.
not to mention one of his in laws was an alien princess (that is, if you follow the Kori-Dick timeline thing from before the new 52. They were a really cute couple)
Batman: Honestly the tech in Clark's Fortress was much more impressive. And should I be called these things just aliens, I feel like I'm insulting Clark and Jo'nn with that
When you see Lobo, you question nothing
12:26 The "Batman unfazed by a bunch of bats flying out of a cave" is a good gag and I'm surprised Linkara didn't point it out more. o.O
9:07 Darn it, Linkara, now you've got me shipping Batman and Samus Aran. (They can bond over their dead parents! Space pirates count as criminals, right?)
You know what's even crazier than Batman vs alien xenomorph,
ARCHIE VS THE PREDATOR!
I'm not kidding, THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS PEOPLE!!!!
WHAT?! WHAAAAT?! Archie, the redhead everyguy....vs the Predator?!
....
What have we become as a species...?
@@yusei2221 Dude I know! I had combine harvester moment when I found out about this
I actually liked it, it was surprisingly entertaining
Nostalgia Kid Then there’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Sonic
I want whatever the writers were on, whatever it was it must have been good.
1:46: "Lets see how the Dark Knight contends with the perfect life form." I thought we were fighting Xenomorphs not ultra edgy Hedgehogs
CyberShadow 411 Well Shadow IS part alien.....
@@goodpeople25 We never speak of that...
It
Never
Happened
Yeah okay I agree it never happened, but iirc it's not so bad that the game itself makes it that it never happened. Luckily no sonic game was ever that bad, certainly not one with the most creative name ever.
Perfect Cell *cough*
No shadow is the ultimate life form not the perfect life form.
Speaking of Gardner, wouldn’t a green lantern alien crossover make more sense?
That actually happened in a 4 issue miniseries.
@@RoninS636
Wait what?!?
ThatOne A-HOLE yep. First issue had Hal Jordon dealing with them and the following issues had Kyle Rayner fight them
Fun Fact: Both the Xenomorphs and Predators made cameo appearances in a few issues of The Sinestro Corps War
Another fun-fact: A Xenomorph did a cameo in one of the Green Lantern Issues were Kyle Rayner tries to find his way back home after he had defeated Hal Jordan on Oa after Zero-Hour . It appeared in a typicall space-bar scene together with, I kid you not, Guyver from the Manga "Bioboosted Armor Guyver"
I have this comic signed by the late artist, Bernie Wrightson.
He was a lovely talented man. I do miss him :(
V4Now awww 😢
Batman vs Xenomorphs? It’s gonna be game over man, game over!
... for the Xenomorphs.
LaNoLaCola now if that Aliens had Predators, a robot army, the entire human race, every superhero and villain from DC, Marvel, and Image combined, AND at least God himself... MAYBE they can take Batman. MAYBE!
Typical Batman fanboy everyone. Batman isn't invincible Gary Stu nor he is supposed to be so he has lost several times to different opponents.
@Lone Reviewer They've ALREADY faced down Superman and Kyle Rayner.
@@johannesmakila2459 Of course he isn't. We are just kidding when we make exaggerated claims like that (Well, most of us are anyway.). Much like most people who make Chuck Norris Jokes don't actually believe that he is capable of the things described in them.
Johannes Mäkilä Yup, Batman is no god. But he is intelligent, his skills as a stealthy predator allows him to sneak around Superman of all people, and and he is an expert in combat with multiple gadgets for all situations. If anyone remotely human has a chance to take on the xenomorphs, Batman ain’t a bad choice
It's so refreshing to see a Batman that's actually concerned with the well-being of others on your show! If Frank Miller had written this one, he'd probably call that wounded soldier a f****t for getting hurt in the fight and then pour some bat salt on his freshly acid-melted arm.
Glad to hear that Batman/Aliens 1 is a decent crossover story.
First crossover when Disney bought Marvel?
"I know what we're gonna do today, Ferb!!"
MrMaximumAustin 👍👍
“Hey where’s Perry?”
"Curse you Perry the platypus!"
That “I’m the government” clip hurts now....
Shutdowns lol
...*pat* *pat*
Yup
Nah, it still makes me laugh
It’s the reason nothing works
"I've got nothing" that's a first
Tony Stark also said that in Iron Man 3.
Just ask yourself, do you REALLY need a reason to have Batman fight zenomorphs?
Only to outdo Superman
@@davincent98 Superman has done it too. Without powers even. So it didn't fall into that Superman vs Terminator no mans land where Supes should be wrapping this up in an afternoon.
@@LupineShadowOmega Unless the Terminator is made of lead, or powered by Kryptonite.
@@coreylineberry8557 Metallo exists and gets wrapped up in an afternoon, they'd need to go a bit farther even than that.
Bat dibs... Behold, a new meme!
Also yeah I can totally believe Batman looking for a orange spaceship and coming across another one
That's an amazing title card. Also, woot woot, Phineas And Ferb next week! I wonder, does anyone think Linkara watched at least one 'regular' episode to prepare? The show might be kind of confusing without context.
The show is episodic in nature, and nothing really changes for the most part.
@@christiancrusader9374 I know, but for all I know, he could be confused by the running jokes or the secret agents or something.
MiscellaneousSoup But That could also provide for a really funny review (it was my request btw. Whether he loves it or hates it, no regrets XD)
@@AnimatedIdiotGuide I'm sure he knows enough or could easily figure it out.
Question where did you request it from so I can make request for next year.
Honestly this was one of my favorite comics growing up. It has some silly parts but is actually really good and has some really good artwork especially with the Aliens
Laughs at linkara wathcing avp and yu-gi-oh in succession as a teenager
Realising that Linkara was a teenager when avp was released
Feeling Old
I remember one of the issues of this series was actually one of my first comics. My parents found a box of assorted comics for what I have to assume was a pretty good price, and apparently didn't scan the contents too vigorously, as I'm fairly confident that if they'd known this was in there, it either would've been no deal or they would have taken it out before they gave me the comics. There was also a Flash comic in there where Zoom threatens to tear out a woman's brain. The '90s were an interesting time to get into comics as a child.
It’s not call The Dark Age of Comics for nothing.
Aliens are notorious fans of Rock music.
ROCK AND ROLL IS EVIL!!!!! gosh I loved that AT4W episode
PUNK Is nothing but DEATH, CRIME, AND THE RAAAAAAAGE OF A BEAST!
We talking Rock & Roll or “What can I say except your welcome”
How Batman still has money: he owns Wayne Enterprises. Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and the Washington Post, makes ~$275 million/ day. If Bruce makes even 1% of that, that's still nearly 3 million dollars every single day. It'd be impossible to spend that much money.
3 million dollars a day it actually would be very easy since R&D on military tech can run in the hundreds of millions. Now if he makes Bezos money he is probably fine
Me: Wait a second, he already explained his thoughts on the Alien franchise…?????
Turns out, I watched this review already. I truly do forget the fact my first time watching your channel was trying to watch every bit of Batfam related material so my Batman fan side could be satisfied. Anyway, TO THE REVIEWWWWW!
I remember feeling pretty strongly about the jokes the first time. They were HILARIOUS to me, and I actually spilled my coffee while watching (that was a sad day considering I'm the one who does the laundry). The jokes still hit just as hard. Hoping I will not spill my coffee this time though, if you keep up being so funny I'm suing you for the damaged clothes /j /j /j
Great episode! One of the funniest. Love the Batman parody you've built up over the years. It almost feels like its own character, like an alternate universe version, where he is the exact opposite of Brave and the Bold Batman.
@Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall The Xenomorph gestation period usually differs from film to film and really it can take from a day to hours. Personally my take is it depends on the persons metabolism and Embryo "sensing" what type of environment its in. If it feel it's on it's own it will take it's time and pop when it feels it can escape. If it's in a hive environment it might pop early because adults are present. Alien Theory's TH-cam channel likely has a better answer.
If true, I wonder is there's any difference in strength and health between a quickly spawned hive Xenomorph and one that was allowed to take its time to gestate?
I remember hearing somewhere that one of the "official" explanations (I put it in parenthesis because I heard it 2nd-hand, plus I can't remember if it came from one of the comics, one of the books, or from a commentary track from one of the movies, or an interview with someone who worked on the movies) for the differing gestation time has to do with the species and overall health of the host. The healthier they are, the longer it can take (assuming things like genetic engineering of the xenomorphs aren't involved, which all of the 2000s and later movies have, thanks to them exploiting people's fear about the subject).
I HIGHLY recommend Batman vs Predator, surprisingly well done comic series!
Linkara's Batman voice always cracks me up!!
Dead Man's Hand is a GREAT schlocky action group name!!
Still a better name
than the Ravangers.
batman vs aliens... I wonder if bats got a facehugger what would a Batxenomorph be like. Would it stand stoically on rooftops or posing dramatically while internally monologuing to itself?
how does Batman contend with a perfect lifeform?
Batman : Im facing... myself?
Considering AVP where the Predalien acted like a semihonorable Pred. It might end up like a Xenomorph that doesn't kill outright but kills by BvS or Nolanverse Style
So a being who parents kill each other?
@@bobmilaplace3816 What about Michael Keaton's style of killing?
@@bernardomarkuskampffdemelo4323 also possible
HOLY CRAP; Linkara reviewed something that I've actually read!
In the sequel series Batman fights Aliens in Gotham; it's pretty good; despite the ridiculous ending.
There's also a Batman and Superman Versus Alien and Predator series and it SUCKS! The entire story is about explaining how Superman's stupid new portable Fortress of Solitude works and the Preds and Xenos barely contribute to the plot.
Jadow watches Linkara? Nice.
So Jadow, what do you think of the Force Awakens comic that Linkara reviewed?
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 The comic itself looks like a mixed bag: gorgeous art and adds more context for a few scenes, but also cuts good scenes from the movie.
Linkara's review though was delicious!
"Holy face-hugging-fracas, Batman! It's game over, Batman! Game over!"
There was almost a star trek alien crossover comic but it got cancelled. Such a shame.
It might happen in the future.
Who knows?
@@thatonea-hole hmmmm, that would be nice though
Given how bad Starfleet Security is throughout the series, I can imagine it going badly very, very quickly.
@@SuperDevolution Going to need to order a LOT more of those red shirts
@@jfdrac Oh, their shirts will be red alright.
Loved your super fast opinion/review of the Alien Franchise thus far. Here is to hoping with Fox holding the brand and now being with Disney progress is made and directed to good writers.
Extremely unlikely. Aliens as a franchise ran out of stream right around 86. Everything the studio has tired to do with it since has been terrible. I sincerely doubt Disney will do any better, since their already struggling with another beloved sci-fi property.
Just make Neil Blomkamp’s Alien 5 idea real godammit
Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel next week baby YEAH!!!!
Mr Critical really huh I didn’t know about that
I thought so, I am a fan of the show or that special sorry to say.
British Technology
It’ll be interesting to see if he watches some of the show beforehand so he knows what’s going on
Mr Critical I wonder if Viga is a PnF fan, maybe he could give him some pointers XD
1:40: I don’t know. I’ve always had the belief that when we’d finally learn the Xenomorphs’ backstory, we’d find out they were living weapons, considering their bio-mechanical nature and all. In fact, I thought that Prometheus was building towards this idea that the Engineers made them to get rid of humanity.
I haven't yet read Batman/Aliens, but I have however read Batman/Aliens 2, Superman vs. Aliens, Batman vs. Predator 1 & 2, and Superman & Batman vs. Aliens & Predator. Oh, and I've also seen the fan film "Batman: Dead End," which features the Aliens and the Predators.
Out of all the negatives people would give about Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, you have to admit that the Predalien is the best part.
4:56- Batman should have brought his Crocodile Repellent Bat-Spray.
6:19- It's funny that you've used the "I'm the government" clip from MST3K for 2 episodes in a row.
7:44- Speaking of witch, the Green Lanterns would later fight the Aliens in a different crossover comic.
14:29- Cut to Dutch in Predator shouting "KILL ME! I'M HERE! KILL ME!!"
...Just how many superheroes have fought the xenomorphs by this point?! Why aren't all the superheros sharing the info with one another by now? I mean, eventually we'd have to run out of cocky military stereotypes to throw at the aliens for cannon fodder and easy action/horror scenes, and THEN what are we gonna do?
Superman took on the Xenomorphs and the Predator? That sounds really stupid. Supes is way too OP for either race to fight him! At least with Batman it's anyone's match!
@@AnInsideJoke Xenomorphs have only fought Batman, Superman and GL of DC...They have also fought Judge Dredd, Wildcats, Withcblade/Darkness,Terminator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampirella and ARCHIE...
Screw Age of Ultron, THIS is the most ambitious crossover!
As Always who called age of ultron the most ambitious crossover
Infinity War, not Age of Ultron. Wrong movie.
@@ChiefMedicPururu Infinity War was never a crossover when all the idiots in it always lived in the same goddamn universe. If it was about characters coming to meet from different separate universes, THEN it could be called a crossover.
What about Smash Ultimate?
@@pokejoseph I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I believe it might count.
The new logo/theme visuals are glorious and amazing!
"By 1997 the comic industry had taken most of the 90's out of their system" I don't think so. Take a look at the suicide squad
Suicide Squad, the modern version not the post-World War 2 Suicide Squad, was created in the late 80s.
I think he was referring to the 90's ism's of one side giant shoulder pads and ridiculous looks and names for characters pritty much anything Rob
Linefeild ever done think spawn but dumber and turned up to 11
Exactly. Everyone knows the 90's didnt end until 2004. That's just how decades work.
For DC, the 90s didn't until Dan DiDio left last year
Given that teaser at the end, I'm assuming you're going to be discussing the Marvel/Phineas & Ferb crossover. If there was another animated crossover that came out before that after the buyout, I'm unfamiliar with it.
And I REALLY hope you've seen more Phneas & Ferb before seeing that, since the show was usually very creative and witty with writing that could appeal to both adults and children equally, with the occasional reference that would fly way over the heads of children, but add an extra laugh for more educated parents (references to Burning Man and the Shroud of Turin spring immediately to mind). The special in question though... definitely in the bottom half of episodes, in terms of quality.
One issue I can see him having is that Hulk doesn’t become Bruce Banner when he loses his powers which I just want to point out isn’t the specials fault the version of the characters that were in the special were based off of the Marvel cartoons going on at the time and Bruce rarely appeared with him not having a character model made till the episode with the alternate timeline
That thumbnail art, though. Rock & Roll? Lol
It even shows the artist's name: Dr.Crafty.
I hope we can see more from this franchise on this show. also, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel huh? okay I admit, I am curious
Batman/Aliens is one of the many weird but awesome ideas for a crossover in a comic. It's just cool seeing them face off, plus got to love the cover.
It took some doing, but I finally caught back up. I've trailed behind AT4W for the past year and half. Not sure why. All I know is that it felt great coming back into the fold. Linkara's optimism about the world and humanity is the kind of thing I need in my life.
"Thank God you're here, Green Lantern!"
*Skinny Guy Gardner appears.*
Me: "Wow, he wasn't kidding..."
"Where are these kids' parents?"
Batman of ALL people should know better than to ask that.
"Yes I'm counting it."
I didn't know until this video that Prometheus was part of the Alien franchise.
To my knowledge why this was made was because of a long string of cross overs. Dark horse wanted these kind of cross overs but had trouble getting the rights so they used alien and predator since they had them and do to the success of that they got the green light for batman vs predator. And since batman fought the predator and the predator fought the alien might as well have batman fight the alien. To the best of my knowledge that's what happened, if I'm wrong about some of it my apologies.
I remember seeing this at Barns and Noble at one point.
I know it's a stretch, but it could connected to Batman: Dead End, a TH-cam fan film in which Batman goes up against The Joker, a xenomorph and a Predator.
Half your face scarred from a Xenomorph attack that Batman couldn't save you from... that's an *awesome* backstory for Twoface!
*FIRST!!!!*
*BATMAN V. ALIENS: DAWN OF REQUIEM OF JUSTICE!*
Better love story than twilight
Ha, not first, your comment is dated 45 min while others are 46 min
WITH A VENGEANCE!
Does it turns that out the Alien Queen's name is Martha?
Featuring Dante from the Devil may cry series
Things I never thought I would hear -- that the Batman/Aliens crossover book is actually pretty good. I had no idea how they would ever make this concept work, but -- hey, as you point out, they pull it off decently enough. Sure, how and why Batman goes down there is pretty contrived, and I can smell the betrayal coming off Hyatt from a mile away (I mean, I really HOPE I'm wrong, but that little speech about how she's willing to do anything to become a woman with power. . .yeaaaah), but it's a good little horror short, and I look forward to whenever you get to issue 2!
"The spaceship I'm looking for is orange."
The best part about this is that, because of the Silver Age, I have no way of knowing if this is just you being silly, or if it's referencing something.
Dark Horse and DC Comics actually have a pretty long history of crossovers. They also did Superman vs. Alien, Batman vs. Predator, and most recently Wonder Woman and Conan the Barbarian.
Superheroes and horror make a surprisingly good genre crossover. The additional confidence and power presented by superheroes gives you more room to really play with the extent of the villain's threat. When you have a man who can actually tackle a xenomorph, you get the opportunity to show off just how much more than brute strength xenos have! Gives the ordeal a greater sense of rising action, and of chaos once the shit hits the fan.
Okay, I'm late on this one but can we appreciate how slick the new intro is? Like, I loved the one for the 10th anniversary, with all the clips from each year, but the new graphics with lightning and choices of clips are so perfect this time around, blending old gags and new footage perfectly.
For me the most interesting origin for the Xenos that I remember was the idea that they're from a hyper-predatory world of super predators and that there they aren't even the top of the food chain. Talk about "Pants to be darkened."
Oh God that's actually scary. Why didn't they use that in Prometheus?
@@MTdaBlacking who knows? Though I guess it was because they've been drinking the JJ.Abrams mystery box kool-aid and thus everything must be a not very well planned mystery with a lackluster conclusion because of that not very well planned part.
The Black Goo is similar to the substance that the Engineer in the opening drank, but that was golden and we saw what it did to him as it created life from his death. The Black Goo is it's darker more sinister counterpart as it makes seemingly only Xenomorphs as seen by two organisms who bath in it's liquid form. The Engineers made it most likely as a weapon given the dispersion manner of the ship as seen in Alien Covenant and generally the Xenomorph hives function as there is no way any ecosystem can friendly coexist or adapt well with their presence. It's a dark corruption and only could make things to destroy not to propagate life. The consequences of using such a horrible weapon was the outbreak on the world in Prometheus in which only one survivor was left. So yeah David only made his version of Xenomorph through many years of experimentation and solitude, but the overall species is by the hands of the Engineers via the black goo for any organism it comes in contact with whether in liquid or in gaseous forms develops specific traits and functions like those in the Xenomorph cycle; the acid blood, parasitic nature, physical appearances and most of all that primal unreasonable and uncontrollable rage. The Hammerpedes, Finfield, and the contaminated lifeforms on the planet in Alien Covenant shows how it affects each organism differently, but ultimately they all share the most common of features and DNA of the Xenomorphs. Thus the black goo and the Xenomorphs are very connected making them a danger to all life throughout the galaxy.
I was so hoping the screams of the marine chasing the monkey would be a fake out scare with the monkey attacking him.
The perfect life-form? Pah! They'd stand no chance against the ULTIMATE LIFE-FORM!
(Joe! Where's Shadow?! ... Union leave? Well how the hell are we going to get the Bio-Lizard here? He left for Hollywood to be a VA for the Jurassic Park franchise!)
Man, last time I was this early,
Jaeris was still stuck on linkara’s universe.
last time I was this early Doug and linkara were still friends.
Last time I was *this* early, Oliver Queen was now not in the presence of...
Y'know what...FUCK that. I'm not using that joke anymore.
@Mike Burnsy
Look for "One Shot, One Kill."
since you mentioned it around 4:00 I think I’ll say this. Something I always found kinda Shocking is that Killing Joke and Death in the Family happened the Same Year, Death in the Family happenings only a few months after Killing Joke. So considering that the Canon Ending to Killing Joke is that Batman Doesn’t Kill the Joker and just puts him back in Arkham, that means that Batman is indirectly responsible, bordering on Directly Responsible for Jason Todd’s Death. and based on how Violent, Vengeful and Morose he became afterwords (even by Batman Standards), it stands to reason that’s how he saw it too. Even after the horrible things he did in Killing joke, Batman still let Joker Live... A Decision that one could argue Lead To the Killing joke.
Just thought I’d put this out there, even if Linkara himself never reads it.
you fool a gun can't stop one face
new favorite line from Atop the fourth wall
Honestly predator vs batman feels more right
It probably already happened.
Or will happen. IDK
Just look it up to be sure if it's a thing.
@@thatonea-hole it is
@@billybimbo985
So there is one?
@@thatonea-hole yep
The first series is AMAZING!!!
"This new origin for Two-Face is WEIRD." You fool! That's the origin of ONE-Face!
funny thing is if batman yelled for help loud enough im pritty sure his significant other would come running and torch these things but he wont because hes batman...... just some food for thought
Funny thing about the artist Bernie wrightson. He's more of an illustrator than a comic artist, having done work for the Steven King novel cycle of the werewolf, but his comic work including this book. Range from the creepshow comic from 82, a regular on Warren publishing books like creepy and famous monsters, and even some of the illustrations on the great illustrated classics books series.
Every new opening I keep thinking it'll be a Doctor Who episode with the amount of coats Linkara has...
that and he's a fan of Doctor Who
I've just realized something about the logo for the 2019 season of AT4W...it looks like it's going (or has gone) Super Saiyajin 2.
I really am glad to see you being positive about Alien:Resurrection. It's different from the rest, but it's B-Movie ambiance and the overall grotesque aesthetic of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who's one of my favourite directors of all time, really sell it to me ^^
The Alien franchise did crossovers with EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING. There were multiple official crossovers with DC, including Superman and Green Lantern, Wildstorm had them wipe out one of their super teams, Storm Watch, they crossed over with Judge Dredd (And incidentally so did Batman), there was an Aliens Vs Predator Vs Tarzan comic, pretty much anything that was vaguely popular in the late 90's and early 2000's did a crossover with Alien.
Really hope he gets around to Secret Wars 2 soon. I'm actually curious what it's like.
Secret Wars 2 wasnt bad....just disspaointing
On this day this will be the first episode i watched from you!
I really like this comic, too. It's not perfect, but it's good, and I honestly can't think of a better way Batman could've been introduced to the Xenomorphs.
I waited for that review *checks calendar* 2 years men. TWO YEARS. Finally. Thank you Linkara :)
The comparison between the Alien and Bats’ parents deaths makes sense if you imagine a xenomorph in a trenchcoat shot his parents.
hay linkara, loving the new intro by the way, do prefer the last one but the the new one is still one of the best on the show.
Batman: Elves did it.
Dick: Really Bruce
Batman: say it with me. It was *thiiiiiis* big
Which ironic is that was a movie back in the 70s that starred both Adam West and William Shatner.
1:18. Maybe next Patreon review, you should look at Aliens Vs Predator-Requiem.
P.S. What do you have Alien³ on? A VHS? The 1999 DVD? The 2003 Collector’s Edition/Quadrilogy DVD? Or the 2009 Blu-Ray? The Assembly Cut is on the 2003 DVD (however, due to certain circumstances, some of the audio could not be repaired so there is a special subtitle track for those scenes) and the 2009 Blu-Ray (where the audio issue has been fixed)
He kept his reason for coming vague because he cant just tell everyone he meets that he has access to the same info as Bruce Wayne. Even if there's an easy excuse that "he asked me to do it" its still not a connection he wants to be public.
5:24 "I certainly wouldn't try to harm a Croc if it tried to protect a little girl. That would make me a hypocrite!"
11:20 I whould have loved a Amanda Waller joke there XD Nice comic, good to see Batman in such a setting while being only human and not use any fancy sci-fi Tools.
Didn't Batman also throw an alligator over his shoulder in the Animated Series episode "The Underdwellers"? Mr. T, eat your heart out
spigui500 Hell Batman fights Killer Croc on a daily basis! Mr. T can eat his everything out!
Xenomorphs are one thing, but the art suggests Batman teaming up with Raptor Dude to Defeat THE THING!
Okay after some reaserch, it turns out the artist of the book, Bernie Wrightson, is the co-creator of Swamp Thing and the writer Ron Marz also wrote the comic storyline Emerald Twilight for Green Lantern...make of that what you will
Okay Robin, now for situation 29-F, a xenomorph comes out of nowhere and attacks me!
Oh, now this is getting stupid Batman!
SHUT UP ROBIN!!! NO RAT FOR YOU!!!
OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD HE'S GONNA DO PNF MISSION MARVEL!!
Katherine Lynch GET HYPED
I use to own the superman/aliens crossover comics so this hit me close to the nostalgia
I'm fairly certain that Bat Dibs beats Bat Shark Repellent as the best Bat Themed thing ever 🤣🤣
There was a short piece in the darkhorse compilation series that preceded this. It was about a wayne employee who was investigating the crash site. In the comic he talks about how a humanoid race of aliens picked up the xenomorph that eventually causes the death of the entire crew. The ship crashed into earth and the short ends with the wayne employee being killed as he finishes his report. Unfortunately I do not recall what issue it was. I have the comic somewhere and if I find it I will ship it to you, Linkara.
Batman's best villains:
Rock n'roll
One face
Bees
and Aliens!
7:38 Honestly, Gantry makes me think of Jean Kirstein from Attack on Titan for some reason.
10:20 The true culprit behind that alien's death... is ROCK 'N ROLL!
FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me that Alien 4 is underrated and Alien vs Predator was okay^^
Finally!! Someone else who doesn't hate Alien: Resurrection! Thank you, Linkara! It's nice to know I'm not alone!
3:57: Maybe they were pushed into Crimea alley by their child's future side kick and band of misfits...
"how batman contends with a perfect lifeform" I didn't know you were in this comic, Linkara!
Now I want a Green Lantern vs Aliens comic. Why haven't they done that yet?
They had one Xenomorph in the Sinestro Corps, no? Other than that, it's another missed opportunity...
Its been done....and was IN CANON
I actually did the same thing in seeing Yugioh the Movie and Alien VS Predator back to back.
The only true perfect life form is an insect cyborg with green spots, wings, a tiny tail, and the ability to create blue mini-mes
