I little less exciting than the first, April 12, 2002
This review is from: Batman versus Predator II: Bloodmatch (Comic)
I guess this goes to show, that just like in videogames and movies, comic crosssovers have their weak points. This proved it in the the return of the Predator to take out Batman. This time it's out for revenge. Meanwhile Batman has a bounty on his head and has attracted 7 of the worlds most dangerouse assassins to hunt him down. Meanwhile he also gets some unwanted help from the Huntress. The Predator however is not in the complete clear as two of it's kind are hunting it down. Eventually Batman, Huntress, and the Predator face off in a pretty good final boute. Overall thsi is for die hard fans of both series only.

A big improvement, December 8, 2002
This review is from: Batman versus Predator II: Bloodmatch (Comic)
The first Bat vs Pred had a grim, dark art-design that, while atmospheric, wasn't particularly easy on the eye. The story was also far too straight-forward and went through all the usual motions of Predator crossovers. This sequel though, is MUCH better, featuring bright, colorful artwork, more interesting characters and a more complex plot that has three Preds stalking around Gotham City.
The character of Huntress is also quite hot. For an animation she sure does have a nice ass and cleavage. It's a shame she and the Bat never got it on, but there's little time for that when a group of assassins and an alien are after you. The Pred obviously makes light work of the hired killers, saving the pleasure of killing Bats all for himself in a showdown more cinematic than the first time around.
It's long out of print, so you'll have to pick it up used somewhere. The back cover lists a £4.99 rrp. I feel so OLD, were they EVER that cheap? Two lengthy forewords by the editors precede the story.

Action Movie on Paper!, May 11, 2004
This review is from: Batman versus Predator II: Bloodmatch (Comic)
Writer Doug Moench and artist Paul Gulacy worked their cinematic-comic magic on "Master of Kung-Fu" around two decades ago. They later collaborated on the wonderful "Batman:Prey". But for me, their best work is here on "Batman/Predator II". Batman is hunted by an insane Predator warrior and half a dozen of the top assassins in the world (hired by the mob). His only help comes from the Huntress - the last person he ever wants to work with. The feel of this book is like watching a really good action movie - with the suspense and thrill of the first "Predator" movie even. Moench handles the characterization and reluctant partnerships of Batman and Huntress very well - in fact, I'd go so far as to say that this is my favourite Huntress story to date. Moench manage to capture everything that makes Huntress such an interestingly flawed character. As for the art, the Predators look downright scary, Batman is his usual cool-operator (and we even get to see the Bat-bike again) and Huntress is very sexy. Very fast and exciting read overall!
