Product Description
Frank Miller, author of The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One and Sin City, brings Batman to New York City in his search for an arsenal of high-tech weapons and robots that use decapitated human heads as their brains. Antagonistic, confrontational and suspicious of each other, Spawn and Batman engage in violent battles before realizing they are both after the same villain. Grudgingly, they decide to work together. The person they seek has been kidnapping and decapitating the homeless for use in the robots, but that’s only part of the plan: there is also a nuclear arsenal ready to be deployed. Will Spawn and Batman be able to foil the plan to destroy the world? It’s a story filled with many twists and turns and a surprise ending that affected Spawn for years afterward.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just plain bad stuff..., December 22, 1999

By	Justin Vandemark (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews

When I bought this book, I really wanted to like it. For me, Frank Miller has always seemed to take ordinary comics heroes, give them a few twists, portray them in a new light, and still entertain you while he's doing it. He did that in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Daredevil:Born Again. Unfortunately this time Miller's script really is just the "same old thing" with all the cliches that come with super character team-ups. Two supercharacters are drawn together by common problem, the two characters fight for a while, two characters put aside differences to solve common problem (that isn't all that interesting anyway), and finally two characters go their seperate ways. McFarlane doesn't help the cause for the fact that he is well known for drawing flashy pin-up type pictures instead of panels that help to tell the story. If you want to look at a couple nice shots of Spawn and Batman jumping off rooftops and looking "intense", then maybe you'd like this. But, if you are looking for a well-written and drawn story that will enthrall you or make you think, then stay away from this one folks! Go buy Batman: Year One or one of Miller's Sin City collections and enjoy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Severely Weak Effort, February 24, 2001

By	Bill Lehecka (Saratoga Springs, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I expected more from Frank Miller, but this book is gharish, irritating, and just plain stupid. I blame the inclusion of Spawn in this crossover.

For example, 70% of the time, Batman in this book is mumbling about how Spawn has no disipline. I never thought mumbling could come through on paper, but that's what we got here. I lost count how many times Batman says "punk" in this book. If Spawn wasn't in this book, perhaps Batman might not find it necessary to mumble.

Sure, there are pretty drawings and panels (Which is why I gave this book two stars instead of one), but this story is so unintelligible, it isn't even worth your time to buy this book for those pretty drawings. I don't even know what the plot is about, other than doctors using humans for robots. I'm not sure if this problem was solved, and I read through the book twice!

If you want the best of Frank Miller, get "The Dark Knight Returns" or "Year One." At least with those stories, you won't be able to spot Spawn anywhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless as well as Plotless, March 1, 2005

By	N. Anwer (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unfortunately this is a terrible book. I simply cannot for the life of be believe that Frank Miller wrote this. Of all the stuff he has written this is by far his worst. Hey, I even like his much malaigned The Dark Knight Strikes Again, but this is just ridiculous.
Batman is written to be some absurd caped crusader that keeps on called Spawn a punk. Batman has seriously lost his marbles in this book. Spawn, ironically enough, is portrayed much more human than his counterpart.
The plot involves some absurd story of doctors using robots and voodoo. I kid you not.
Frank what happened?
