Two of the most popular culture franchises of all time go toe to shell when Batman teams up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the highly anticipated second volume of this epic crossover event, BATMAN/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II!
Trapped in a world where they can scarcely tell friend from foe, the Turtles' first encounter with the Dark Knight puts their fighting skills to the ultimate test. While the Shredder is locked away at Riker's Island, the Foot Civil War rages through New York City. Each branch of the Foot is determined to kill the Turtles first, to prove their rightful claim to power. Meanwhile, Batman and Robin are back in the DC Universe, dealing with the repercussions of a massive Arkham Asylum breakout that freed Bane!
When Bane is unexpectedly transported to the Turtles' New York City, he swiftly takes control of the city and Batman and the Turtles must unite forces to defeat their common enemy!
From the monster creative team behind the original graphic novel, James Tynion IV and Freddie Williams II, this sequel further explores one of the greatest team-ups of all time! Collects issues #1-7.

Really fun. The character interactions are awesome. The story is really simple, but it doesn't matter. Everything else is awesome (expect the art on few panels).
8/10
This combination really works! The story feels a bit clich?? in places, but the bulk of this crossover is great stuff because Tynion is clearly a big fan of both franchises and that love shines through. I'm looking forward to checking out the sequels sooner or later, because there's a lot of potential here for this team up to be even bigger and better.
Another delightful mashup between the bat family and the turtle family, this time in New York City. Donatello makes several bad decisions in a row, resulting in Bane escaping Gotham and taking over the big apple. He then makes even more bad decisions trying to fix things, but don't worry because everyone else has got his back.
This was still great fun to read, however it just didn't hit the same right notes as the first. I felt Donatello was shoehorned into the plot, and everything he did short of fixing everything was out of character. Maybe the crossover shtick has lost its magic here? Unsure.
Still a four star read though, and I'm still going to round out the series with volume three.
