Batman/Spawn

Product Information

Given their different tactics and ways of dealing with threats, it's obvious that Spawn and Batman wouldn't get along whatsoever. Spawn/Batman makes this obvious, but does so in a way that feels more natural than Batman's antagonism toward Superman whenever Miller writes the former. It's also, as mentioned, the very essence of crossover storylines between divergent franchises or characters in which they fight before "making up" in the end. Beyond this singular existence, the book would also continue to influence both properties. The scar on Spawn's face in subsequent issues of the main Spawn comic book is believed by many to have been inflicted by Batman's Batarang (though it was more likely done by Harry Houdini in another issue). Speaking of which, I don’t understand the plot of this comic. Seriously. I don’t know why the events we see here happened. The plot doesn’t make sense! a b "Spawn (1992) #32". Comic Book DB. Archived from the original on 2017-01-01 . Retrieved 2017-01-12. Here, well, the art is definitely McFarlane’s least striking, I could even go ahead and say is the laziest he has ever crafted. Is it horrible? Not necessarily, but if you dislike his work, this won’t change your mind about him. There’s only a couple of panels that look interesting, or at least, “attractive”, but the rest feels disproportionate, specially when referring to Batman’s physique, particularly in the eyes, who often look bigger for the size of the head, and this is just McFarlane trying to mimic Spawn’s design; you can clearly see he tried to make the two of them “similar”, but the shape of one don’t mix well with the other.

Klein, Brennan (April 17, 2022). "Todd McFarlane Gives Optimistic Update on Spawn Movie Reboot". Screen Rant. The plot is pretty dull and Batman’s fights with Spawn are predictably pointless. Both batter each other, neither decisively wins, nothing is settled – it’s the very definition of meh. But I love the Goddamn Batman too much because he’s too funny. In Miller’s hands Batman is an act first, think later kind of guy, more interested in beating someone senseless than using his (supposedly) high intellect to realise fighting someone like Spawn is a futile exercise. Whoever is now 16-17 is the new Greg and Todd, and the new event comes out, and the new Batman Spawn will be one of those events that they're collecting. You can come out with cool event projects all day as long as it's a quality product. Every day is a good day for a good movie, song, or comic; there's never a bad day if it's good.After all this, I feel like I’ve trashed my man Todd too much so I also want to give him a shout-out. He isn’t my favorite artist of all time (still Top 10 easily) but he has had a greater effect on my art and even who I am as a person than any other artist. I’m generally not one to become personally attached to creators but as a source of inspiration and perspective, he has meant a lot to my artistic journey. In fact, I don’t know that I would be here writing for Batman News if not for him. So, I’ll close with a simple thank you regardless of whether I can recommend this comic or not.

Nyx and Spawn kill the last sin eater and Spawn discovers Richard cannot remember their parents due to a spell placed by Mammon. Wanting to know more about them, Spawn finds their home under a spell placed by Mammon. His mother planned with Mammon to create the strongest Hellspawn. Al is then given a journal by his father that reveals his ancestor came across a Hellspawn in the past known as the Gunslinger Spawn. Spawn: Capital Collection (January 1993)– contains issues 1–3 (note: this was a limited edition hardcover exclusively available from Capital City Distribution, and only 1200 copies were made)a b c Johnston, Rich (21 July 2023).

I haven't read a Frank Miller book since his Daredevil run, and that was him at the top of his game. This, however, was entertaining yet annoying. Let me just say the dynamic between Batman and Spawn I think was nailed. I don't know a lot about Spawn, but I know enough to say that I liked the dynamic between these 2 characters. Both of them will talk a big game, but when they are alone they will almost collapse from fighting each other and I loved that. Todd McFarlane's art was awesome and I would love to see an entire Batman run in his art. (except Year 2)

How do you feel about Frank Miller’s Batman? For me, Frank Miller’s take on Batman is always an enjoyable experience, yes even the much reviled “All Star Batman & Robin”, but if you especially hate the Goddamn Batman, you’re not going to like this one either. I like Miller’s take on the character because he writes him as a sociopathic rage machine in a cowl - no one else writes Batman in this distinct way and I think it’s hilarious.
