Harley Quinn And The Joker Push Shredder’s Patience To The Limits In ‘Batman/TMNT Adventures’ #2 [Preview]

A while back, I interviewed Matthew K. Manning and I spoke briefly about how he once wrote a young adult novel in the Tony Hawk's 900 Revolution series, which is about a group of radical teens searching for the pieces of Tony Hawk's skateboard, which was shattered with the mystical force of the world's most incredible skateboard trick. And honestly? I thought that was the most jealous that I could be of someone else's writing career.

Now, though, Manning has managed to top himself as the writer of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, in which the animated versions of both franchises collide in a dimension-hopping adventure. And next week, when the second issue hits, the focus is on the villains as the Joker and Harley Quinn team up with Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady --- and nothing good will come of this.

Bullet points:
· The biggest all-ages crossover ever continues!
· Variant cover by Chad Thomas!

Really though, the question is whether this is merely the first in an entire series of meetings between Batman's arch-villains and the Turtles' foes. I mean honestly, is there anyone out there who doesn't want to see what happens when Baxter Stockman meets Calendar Man?

Okay, maybe that one's just me.
