Spawn teaming-up with Batman is basically when the epitome of “You were dead the moment I walked into the room” teams-up with the epitome of “I won’t kill you but your hospital bills will.” And I’m all for it 💪👌❤️.
Spawn's face is held together by a shoestring, is something cool to see since Batman is the reason he has the shoestring. In the 94' crossover, Batman hits Spawn in the Face with a Batarang. That cross over took place between Spawn issues 20 and 21. This is why when issue 21 came out, Spawn had to have his face tied together with a said shoelace.
Capullo is arguably the best Batman artist of all time. He is also arguably the greatest Spawn artist of all time. So seeing him draw them together is truly a gift the fans don't deserve.
“With his crazy amazing umbrellas.” Never thought I’d hear that sentence 😂😂. But dammit if spawn isn’t the best!? He’s been my favorite since I was a kid. Back then mainly because of his costume and the movie. But now that I’m older and can take in who and what he really is… he’s sooooo amazing!!
I like the twist. Kind of figured Spawn would annihilate Batman..But didn't think Batman would have the time to talk some sense into him before so haha. Kind of wish they'd create some more based off of this plot. Spawns ruthlessness and Batmans brain power would be a nearly unstoppable force. When Batman can't kill, Spawn can get that done if it means winning a battle that needs to be won by killing. When Spawn can't think of a witty strategy, Batman can.
Really loved this crossover. It brought me great memories of the collaborations that DC did in the nineties with other companies like Marvel. Undoubtedly, the best of those was the wonderful mini-series "JLA/Avengers", the one with the ABSOLUTELY EPIC art by George Pérez depicting Superman wielding Thor's hammer and Captain America's Shield.
@@NotALiberalSoSkipTheScript The one where Robin dated Jubilee was the one that ended in Amalgam The one with Superman wielding Mjionir was about the Dude that witnessed Dc Universe's Birth obtaining Cosmic Powers and threatening to kill Galactus It's 2 different stories

Fun fact: The Spawn/Batman 1994 comic published by Image and written by Frank Miller (with art by Todd McFarlane) claims, "Spawn vs. Batman is a companion piece to DC Comic's [sic] The Dark Knight Returns." I like to believe this means the two are part of the same continuity.
The two are separate stories set in separate continuities. WAR DEVIL is supposed to be set in post crisis earth, SPAWN/BATMAN is suppposed to be set in DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. In every one of these two Spawn and Batman don't know each other.
OMG 💚🖤 I remember back as a preteen, I tried to redraw original spawn vs Batman cover art and the panels while going through the hardest parts of my life. This inspired me to become an artist 🔥
It's absolutely no surprise spawn mauled batman. Batman needs to study his foes and have a plan beforehand to deal with superhuman/supernatural opponents
Also love the fact that Batman wasn't saved by any magical means either. No Zatanna, Dr. Fate, magic smoke bomb, anti demon spray, or WW, just Batman knowing it's something he has to get away from
The only surprise with Batman is all the fights he has won. People act like Bruce doesn’t have any super powers, he doesn’t need any with that plot armor.
Bruce would have died too that Night He would have find himself in Hell because he wasn't baptised so Majabola (I know I wrote it wrong but shish) would return him to life with the Spawn Suit So Bruce learned Martial Arts and made the BatGatgets to try avoiding using the Power of the Suit
Honestly, spawn and Batman together just works so nicely. Especially the costumes. Something about their costumes side by side just complement each other so well
If you read spawn there are hints that this is canon but it's also hinted that there might be more crossovers. Also it's hinted that Wanda is coming back in the main series as well.
I like hoe the book acknowledges the fact that if a super powerful person like spawn, just attacks Batman out of the blue without any notice that man is going to get his ass kicked. But Batman is also smart enough to recognize this fact in the moment he knows that there is a dead zone, he takes advantage of that. The greatest combatants recognize a fight they can’t win. Although I do like the idea that Batman can come up with these master plans to take down some of the toughest people on earth, as he is a great detective and master strategist, I think it is also important to see Batman lose. Not only does it make sense since Batman can’t be carrying contingencies for every person constantly. But it also allows us to see Batman’s more humble side. He recognized that he couldn’t beat Spawn, at least not now, so she simply stayed in the dead zone, and refused to fight. And then he only left the zone as a way of making a point. To me, that’s way more cool than seeing Batman beat Spawn with plot armor.
3:01 And not only that, but it's not like Batman got the upper hand by getting Spawn in the dead zone, he just evened the playing field. From that point on, the fight is equal. Spawn gets just as many hits in as Batman. It's not even close to being as one-sided of a beatdown as it was when Spawn was thrashing Batman with his powers still in play.
Well Batman was already injured at that point In a Fight without powers Batman should win He is a Genius Master Martial Artist that learned borderline impossible amount of styles & techniques Al's Training is a Military Training, a Special one but still not at the level of borderline impossible
@@aleanddragonITA Statistically speaking, you're not wrong. Spawn knows 13 martial art styles, but Batman knows 127. My problem with that is that we've never seen that actually be... Evident. Batman struggles and sometimes even loses to foes like Catwoman, who really only knows what she's picked off the streets. Personally I just write it off as inconsistent comic nonsense, but looking at it from an in-universe perspective, it's obvious Batman's knowledge of martial arts doesn't automatically win him a hand-to-hand fight with someone who knows less. There's clearly a massive margin of error there. I assume it comes down to experience as well. Spawn has had arcs where he's lost all his powers, and was *still* able to take down armies of Hell's demons. Anyway, my point is, I personally don't think Batman simply having a more vast arsenal of combat knowledge nabs him the win in a non-powered, hand-to-hand fight. If we were going purely off of statistics, yeah, I would say the dude who knows *114* more combat styles has it in the bag, buuut as I said, Batman's history of losses kind of throws that out the window. I'm not saying Batman doesn't stand a chance, just that he doesn't necessarily have an overwhelming advantage. At the end of the day, you can view Spawn as a Batman with demonic powers, haha.
Ppl think it’s a flex a dude with a venom replica taking on a human with a bat suit at least Tony got lasers and shit but bats it’s all him no Jarvis not lasers or flying boosters etc
@@megaunderflow4076wow omg I wasted all my time reading that just for you to essentially say he looses to car women because of let’s all say it together “BAD WRITING” we’ve seen him in comics beat some of the worlds “greatest” martial artist he goes toe to toe with slade who’s insane and has insane abilities and he consistently fucks up GROUPS of ppl all hands while spawn gets hard Carrie by his suit, you can say he loses it and still holds his own but for the MAJORITY he’s heavily dependent on his powers he literally demented that by acting p**** and calling Batman the coward😂
Right before you say how weird it is Spawn's powers work because they're in a Dead Zone, there's a narration box in the comic "Bruce spies Spawn outside the Zone" at 21:36 . Not weird, oddly phrased given the size of the text box but that's about all. "Bruce notes Spawn has left the Dead Zone." That would have been less ambiguous/more obvious. Great video by the way, and wow...what an awesome comic!
I definitely love this little special one shot that they made of Batman/Spawn, it's just a shame that it ends in a cliffhanger. 7:12 call back when Batman through his batarang at spawns head, thus beings the shoelace spawn Ark. 8:55 Spawn meets Joker que the MK11 fight Spawn: "No more jokes, no more laughs." Joker: "Sounds like you got a case of the Grumps." Spawn: "I (bleep) hate clowns" Joker: "You look like a hugger, bring it in." Spawn: "I'll turn you inside out (bleep)-first clown." Joker: "I love it when they talk dirty."
If they decide to do another Spawn/Batman crossover, the next one should be Spawn joins Justice League Dark. It would be interesting to see Spawn meeting characters like Swamp Thing and The Demon for the 1st time.
Its a stretch but spawn using his chains and cape in the dead zone had nothing to do with his own necro powers because his whole suit is a living thing with its own abilities seperate from him. The dead zones are definitely a plot device but his suit definitely has its own powers (even though those would probably also shut down so idk)
I always understood the dead zones as a zone created by the forces of heaven to block any powers of hell. The suit is a creation of one of the levels of hell so to me it does throw me off the ammount of powers he used in the dead zones. I could be wrong though. Also the teleportation spawn uses is definitely a nocroplasm power
Rob I have to go back and read this again but I had a different take…so shoelace spawn was short lived in the comic and came about because of the first spawn/Batman crossover and then by later issues in spawn the showlace was gifted to cyan. In my mind I thought Todd was trying to say that Spawn and Batman had always existed in the same universe. And the shoelace face was demonstrating a different moment in time. I could be wrong but at the end I thought that was hinting towards a connection to the court of owls and the clown…. And I hope a sequel to this…(sorry I’m a huge Spawn nerd. 😂)
My question is how long could that partnership last, cause twice before Joker has teamed up with people who seem to think like he does from other publications only to double cross them.
I know what some people think of them but these kind of crossovers. Batman vs Predator. Superman vs Terminator. They are Peak comic book lunacy of the best kind and something they could Never make into a mainstream movie. So they are perfect
I thought for sure the Batman who Laughs was going to show up. The aesthetic matches, joker knowing all that stuff, black suit with dimension opening powers... it was all right there.
The whole time I was listening to this video, I couldn't help to be reminded of the interludes in earlier Spawn comics where Todd McFarlane would get up on his soapbox about IP in the comic book industry. In particular I'm thinking of a scene where the DC Big 3 were in a dark prison cell. You couldn't see them, but you could see enough of them to tell who it was. And they were lamenting the fact that they were owned by a giant publishing company. And here is Todd McFarlane now working with that publishing company
2:47 This is my one problem with your recaps. You omit important, contextual details. And then you build further misconceptions based upon that. 1) Todd Mcfarlane didn't just create that dead zone out of nowhere for Batman to be able to fight back. It's existed since the earliest chapters for a reason. Spawn is a creature of hell, and that deadzone exists due to a pact with Heaven. That zone is basically Heaven's turf, which is why his powers shut down. 2) Even without the symbiote, it would take extreme luck for Batman to take Al Simmons down before he killed Batman. Of course it's just a crossover where there is a little tussle, then everything goes back to status-quot, but still... Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed! Can't wait for the next one!
with all the thrashing he gets on his face...it should be an inside joke that other characters know who Batman really is from all the scars on Bruce's face.
Spawn: "Once I am done with you, you will be in a worst shape than my 1997 movie!" Batman: "Sorry to dissapoint...Wait! You had an horrible 1997 movie? I got an awful flick that year too!" Spawn: "Really? Man, we are not that different in the end! Wanna to be my bro for all eternity?" Batman: "You said that, bro. You said that..." *Proceed to shake hands like true men* Joker and Clown: "Damn!" *FRIENDSHIP WINS*
No need to run it into the ground Bruce has the balls to waddle with anyone but true comics readers and collectors knew Batman couldn't beat Spawn totally out Bats league 💯
This was definitely a fun video to watch and I’d love to see more. Though can I throw out a potential recommendation for comic series? It doesn’t need to be a video but maybe something to check out on your own time. There is a power ranger comic series that is genuinely AMAZING to read. I’d recommend it.
Give Batman the whole Justice League Dark and like a weeks prep time and he could maybe pull it off. Spawn would body Ultraman. It says a lot about the Bat and his tenacity though to eat those shots. Spawn was like THINK BRUCE!
Looks like I'm going to need to add this to the collection I love crossover comics I remember my friend having the old Batman and Spawn crossover comics when we were in elementary school and they were cool
Rob, could just be me. But I would love a series where u fuse marvel and DC characters together and speculate how strong they would be and their potential powers and weaknesses. Like superman fused with Thor
Rob I had to get the new 52 Batman .On the Court of Owls storyline ,Just could have understanding of the storyline of Batman /Spawn storyline ,And dude I do remember the video you did on the Court of Owls ,Which seems like ages ago now ! So now have better understanding of the court of owls in the first volume , And I thought Batman /Spawn is very cool story .Plus the variant cover where Spawn is standing over Batman is cool too .And I gotten into some classic Spawn reading as well .Or the first fifty issues of Spawn that is .But cool video Rob dude .
@3:16 *SCREAMS INTERNALLY "YES!"* I wish I could SUBSCRIBE again. I absolutely hate how Batman Stans wang-eat him thinking he can beat anyone in comics. Thanks Rob, all hail MARVEL.
As much as I love Batman I'm glad they started it like that. Without KNOWING Spawn was coming and being able to investigate who, what, how etc.... Okay FINE I'LL SAY IT ! Prep time...Poor Bats would be VERY lucky to survive an interaction...Plus with the full stadiums worth of baddies that Batman absolutely DID...not? murder? He's probably not super eager for judgment...
Lmaooo nerfed? Even if you gave him “secret service” training he’s not beating Batman😂 you do know what kind of martial artist Batman has took on hand to hand and bodied right? Spawn gets HARD carried by a symbiot just like broke with venom don’t glaze now😂

In particular I'm thinking of a scene where the DC Big 3 were in a dark prison cell. You couldn't see them, but you could see enough of them to tell who it was. And they were lamenting the fact that they were owned by a giant publishing company. And here is Todd McFarlane now working with that publishing company
Man this is a great one off! I sure hope there's a part 2!

This is my one problem with your recaps. You omit important, contextual details. And then you build further misconceptions based upon that.
1) Todd Mcfarlane didn't just create that dead zone out of nowhere for Batman to be able to fight back. It's existed since the earliest chapters for a reason.
Spawn is a creature of hell, and that deadzone exists due to a pact with Heaven. That zone is basically Heaven's turf, which is why his powers shut down.
2) Even without the symbiote, it would take extreme luck for Batman to take Al Simmons down before he killed Batman.
Of course it's just a crossover where there is a little tussle, then everything goes back to status-quot, but still...
Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed! Can't wait for the next one!
with all the thrashing he gets on his face...it should be an inside joke that other characters know who Batman really is from all the scars on Bruce's face.
This Spawn never encountered Batman before but he still has the Batarang Scar on his Face
Spawn: "Once I am done with you, you will be in a worst shape than my 1997 movie!"
Batman: "Sorry to dissapoint...Wait! You had an horrible 1997 movie? I got an awful flick that year too!"
Spawn: "Really? Man, we are not that different in the end! Wanna to be my bro for all eternity?"
Batman: "You said that, bro. You said that..."

Joker and Clown: "Damn!"
*FRIENDSHIP WINS*
Cringe but cute.
I've been looking forward to this
Good video as always 👍
No need to run it into the ground Bruce has the balls to waddle with anyone but true comics readers and collectors knew Batman couldn't beat Spawn totally out Bats league 💯
One of my favorite cross overs
Batman needs a pot device to win a fight 🤷 But they shouldve done a trio with ghost rider too. Johnny blaze
Amazing stuff
This was definitely a fun video to watch and I’d love to see more. Though can I throw out a potential recommendation for comic series? It doesn’t need to be a video but maybe something to check out on your own time. There is a power ranger comic series that is genuinely AMAZING to read. I’d recommend it.
"No one cares about the Talon". Dude I have never even heard of this guy before now.
Give Batman the whole Justice League Dark and like a weeks prep time and he could maybe pull it off.
Spawn would body Ultraman.
It says a lot about the Bat and his tenacity though to eat those shots. Spawn was like THINK BRUCE!
I tapped the notification so quick. Just to see how this would turn out 😂🔥
Looks like I'm going to need to add this to the collection I love crossover comics I remember my friend having the old Batman and Spawn crossover comics when we were in elementary school and they were cool
Can you make video about chip zadarski batman
Rob, could just be me. But I would love a series where u fuse marvel and DC characters together and speculate how strong they would be and their potential powers and weaknesses. Like superman fused with Thor
Greg Capullo is the best pencil artist out there ❤
Batman just needs prep time bub! You know this!!!
Rob I had to get the new 52 Batman .On the Court of Owls storyline ,Just could have understanding of the storyline of Batman /Spawn storyline ,And dude I do remember the video you did on the Court of Owls ,Which seems like ages ago now ! So now have better understanding of the court of owls in the first volume , And I thought Batman /Spawn is very cool story .Plus the variant cover where Spawn is standing over Batman is cool too .And I gotten into some classic Spawn reading as well .Or the first fifty issues of Spawn that is .But cool video Rob dude .
3:03 the eyes creeping in I thought was Micky Mouse 😅
Could you do a videos on Forgetmenot, Muse and Dazzler?
@3:16 *SCREAMS INTERNALLY "YES!"* I wish I could SUBSCRIBE again. I absolutely hate how Batman Stans wang-eat him thinking he can beat anyone in comics. Thanks Rob, all hail MARVEL.
Damn bro keep ejaculating to it. Immediately he lost his powers he was in trouble real quick but we'll just look over that 😂😂😂😂
Loved the Batman vs Spawn and Spawn vs Batman
Batman is human how is he so powerful defeating gods deity’s omnipotent ppl like tf.
Plot armor and fan boners
He's Batman, DAYUM it!!! No explanation needed
@@nathalieduverna6963 prep time
Prep time gang
i love how hes stronger than batman just like how owls hunt bats
He gave Batman some extra street cred.
Would love to see showdown between Batman who laughs Vs Spawn.
As much as I love Batman I'm glad they started it like that. Without KNOWING Spawn was coming and being able to investigate who, what, how etc....
Okay FINE I'LL SAY IT ! Prep time...Poor Bats would be VERY lucky to survive an interaction...Plus with the full stadiums worth of baddies that Batman absolutely
DID...not? murder? He's probably not super eager for judgment...
The 26th?
Why did you say that date!?
They nerfed spawn in this before he died he was in the secret service he knows how to fight with out his powers 😭😭😭
Lmaooo nerfed? Even if you gave him “secret service” training he’s not beating Batman😂 you do know what kind of martial artist Batman has took on hand to hand and bodied right? Spawn gets HARD carried by a symbiot just like broke with venom don’t glaze now😂
@@203lue9 only one glazing here is you bro I didn’t say Batman wouldnt win I just said spawn would put up more of a fight then that get Bruce’s bat dick out your mouth before you choke on it lil bro
I love Batman and spawn when they fought I was so conflicted😂😂
Spawn sits on the Mobius Chair
