    Yes, Shotgun-wielding Alfred is BEST Alfred. Case in point, The current Batman issue where he sprays the back of joker's head/torso. Gotta give him a hand!!

  • @Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache

    Even the Predators know how badass Batman is, after he defeated one of their own with his greatest gadget ever:
    *THE BAT-BAT!*

    @praxicoide Před 9 lety +8

    This comic was almost the best fight ever, back when mini-series were seldom and crossovers were rare and special.
    The writing was spot on, for both characters, and pretty gritty but not stupidly 90s "edgy". It uppped the stakes and had a few firsts for Batman. The sequels were handed to the regular Batman writers, so they don't feel as awesome as this one.

    Actually in AVP, the predator dies after killing the Alien Queen because it was impregnated. In the beginning of AVP R, a whole spaceship crew of predators crash lands and dies. At the end, the military blows the whole town up with the last predator and the aliens caught in the blast. Nobody won in those movies....except maybe Weyland-Yutani since they got the predator weapon in the end.
    Good episode by the way.

    • @luisgomez8635
      @luisgomez8635 Před 2 lety

      6 years late for this, but incorrect. Scar in AVP dies because the queen impaled him with her tail right before she got dragged down into the water. He was already dead when the predalien chestburster emerged at the end.

It would be a great movie if it would stick to just being a good sci-fi horror movie. Can't believe you did a Back Issues episode on it! I figured I was the only person that read it!!!

But then on this random morning I was thinking, man, one of the greatest detectives versus the galaxy's greatest stealth-warrior? I'll watch the review now. And now I'm sold on this story. So thanks ComicPOP crew for selling me into stories I'd initially think would suck. U guys r great

    I was trying to watch this episode quietly, and I almost made it. But for some reason at the very end when you're talking about Predator's necklace of tiny skull and Ethan says "They look like gerbils" I completely lost it. I guess it was the mental image of the predator walking into a mall pet shop and slaughtering cage after cage full of mice, gerbils, turtles and puppies to collect their skulls.
