Spawn-Batman

    (Image, 1994)
Spawn™ and ©1994 Todd McFarlane Productions. Batman™ DC Comics

This Elseworlds-style story is something of a companion to Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight, taking place outside of the normal continuity of either DC or Image comics. It begins with Batman investigating Russian technology that someone is using to turn Gotham City street bums into killer cyborgs. Meanwhile in Manhattan, Al Simmons (a.k.a. Spawn) is haunted by a figure from a bloody war of his past who now is masquerading as an angel of mercy. Batman encounters Spawn just as Spawn incinerates two would-be murderers who were trying to kill him. This, understandably, gives Batman the wrong message about Spawn, although his issue-long urge to beat up Spawn comes across as bizarre for a character famed for thinking with his head as well as his fists.

Spawn-Batman is the second of two crossovers pairing Batman and Spawn (the first was Batman-Spawn: War Devil). This special features writing by Frank Miller with art by Todd McFarlane.
