Seriously, this book was pretty great. Now, it wasn't PERFECT (a villain or two were taken out a bit too easily toward the end, and there were a few spots with, well, "derpy" artwork of a cowl-less Bruce Wayne) but I give it five stars because it accomplished everything I look for in a crossover - a clear and concise story, characters that react properly in the environments, and - especially important in a crossover - the characters as a whole are written as they normally are in their own series.To expand on that - I couldn't stand the Family Guy and Simpsons crossover episode on tv because right out of the gate Homer wasn't acting like the Homer of The Simpsons - he was acting out of character in another characters environment, and I was instantly taken out of the story. I mean there were so many things wrong what that crossover but it is the first that comes to mind. I believe many crossovers fail because characters from world A converge with world B and its characters, and everyone acts like they were written by the writers of world B. Hopefully that makes sense. This really felt to me like IDW/TMNT writers sat down with DC and wrote this thing collaboratively but in voices that stayed true to each characters environment. Why can't all crossovers pay off like this??It was a bit of a bummer that the last 49-50 pages were all cover art and alt art, sketches etc. because I really wanted the story to last longer - but I ALWAYS prefer a little shorter, more concise story that wraps up and doesn't drag out (as opposed to the series where it seems so drug out for an extra issue or two).
