Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6

The last issue in the six part crossover between DC's Batman and IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is as memorable as the previous issue and has a very strong finale. Batman, Robin, the Turtles, and Splinter make one last effort at defeating the combined forces of Shredder's Foot Clan, Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins, and the mutated rogues held in Arkham. Even when they have a chance to get back home, the Turtles stand true to Batman and refuse despite the fact that they could die. The ending especially is very powerful and thoughtful as after the defeat of Shredder and Ra's and the Turtles go back to their universe, Batman lets Damien stay as it is the anniversary of the death of his parents and wants to spend the day with his son for the first time. This crossover is the best I've read, utilizing everything that makes both franchises so loved and hinting that maybe one day we would see another crossover, and hopefully have Batman visit the turtles. Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a great example of how two different companies can work together and both create something so amazing and unforgettable. Over all: 100%
