Too bad Disney now owns 20th Century Fox and I highly doubt they'll want to work with Warner Bros/DC. Then again they did work Sony to let them use Spider-man back to back, so never say never.
You forgot this little tidbit. The predator not only took the skull and spinal column of the boxers, he also took their HANDS as trophies as he saw that this is how this certain warrior fights so the hands were valuable to him.
Dude!! Thanks so much for reviewing this! I had the first book growing up and that's where I got my start with Batman's comics. I remember how crazy and bloody the first story was.... dude you just gave me a huge trip down memory lane. Thanks brother
I have the trilogy in TPB form. It's one of my favorites to just pick up and read, especially the first meeting. I may have to get them digitally. Arris, you should cover SUPERMAN vs. ALIEN next.
I remember when these original issues first came out. I found the ending to be VERY good! All the high-tech stuff that Batman and Predator had were either used up, destroyed, or worthless. Batman ended up going old-school with a baseball bat. I loved it!
I'll just leave this here in case someone doesn't know but there's a Batman vs Predator short simply called "Batman vs Predator" it's around 11 years old now and runs at a Max of 240p but it is absolutely worth the watch!
The first story of Batman Vs. Predator seems very familiar to the first time Batman faced Bane. Batman Faces a new and very powerful opponent, Nearly dies in combat, Spends some time recovering, And then uses some gadgets and knowledge to defeat the opponent in a second match. EEYEP! The writers had recycled Banes story line for the Predator!
No not really, predator beats bats no problem their first fight. Bane had to release every Arkham inmate and let them all fight Batmans before he just stepped in and broke his shit.
So, it's the same plot as EVERY Batman storyline? (I know it's not but when you break it down to such formulaic plot points, every Batman book would sound the same.)
Joel Farrelly so you're saying if one is using the words A, B, C or numbers 1, 2, 3, and then a full sentence with some of these words and numbers present, it means they're basically saying the same thing? Lol cause your logic of formulaic plot points is as common as math fractions of prime numbers. Meaning what you're saying is every story, Batman or any other fiction are basically recycling their own concept. Otherwise, please elaborate. To brief Knightfall, Batman is weakened after fighting almost every Bat rogues and then Bane breaks his back. In Batman vs Predator, Batman encounters the alien after a series of murders lead to his trails and things went south for him. The only similarity there is that Batman recovers from that attack for a longer period, and back to the differences, there is a replacement Batman whose encounter with Bane went more differently. Again, if you wanna nitpick similarities this is as similar as "bad guy comes to town and hero beats him/her" in summary like every other story out there and you'd only be as right. So it'd be sad to you pretty much not enjoy anything at all.
Sharil Shahed I was referring specifically to how the whole "Batman faces a new and extremely powerful foe, gets beat in the initial confrontation, but then uses his analytical prowess and a bunch of specialized gadgets to eventually take down said foe" bit isn't a plot structure unique to just that one Bane arc. In fact, it's kind of what ALWAYS happens unless you have a truly subversive writer working on the book.
There was a short film called Batman dead end , made by someone named Sandy. He used the movie props with out permission so he got in truoble for that.
There is something odd about the story in the first issue: Arris explained that the Predator only kills skilled fighters, then why did it kill the old man? I couldn’t be to simply make a point to Batman, it already killed a gym full of boxers.
Sandy Collora made an *awesome* Batman vs. Predator (fanmade) movie. It's available on CZcams for anyone who's interested. It's called Batman: Dead End.
Pretty sure they followed this with Batman Vs Alien, Superman Vs Predator, Superman Vs Alien, and last but not least Batman and Superman Vs Alien and Predator. If memory serves me correctly. I always love DC and Dark Horse crossovers.
Batmans the type of guy whos smarter then Einstein, invented grapple guns far better then our own, has a supersuit that can allow him to kick supermans ass (hell-bat, btw, y not just use that suit to capture and detain all criminals in one night batman?) Yet still cant figre out invisibility, which we have
What about the Gotham Villains? The thing these stories often leave out to their own demerit is what the villain response to something like this is. Batman's out of commission and the streets are in chaos as the Predator hunts unchallenged, you'd think it would shift targets to some of Gotham's most notorious criminals or the criminals would make a move against the thing that took out Batman and is now on a rampage. You could have made a whole side story just out of the Joker trying to bait the alien that beat Batman into a confrontation, or someone like Deadshot or Deathstroke hunting the hunter for a bounty put on it by other villains like Penguin or Black Mask, who would not appreciate their operations being disrupted by a Predator on the hunt. These what ifs are always cool but never go far enough in exploring their premise in my opinion.
I have a copy of the original collected edition from '92. It was the first comic my father ever gave me and it is one of the only possessions I own that I actually care about. :)
This storyline would have been better if some of the villains in Batman got involved. For instance The Riddler being hunted and Killer Croc being skinned. Bane getting the Billy death lol. Man that would be cool
YOOP I FUCKING LOVE HOW THE NATIONAL GUARD EVEN ACKNODLEGED THAT. "If Batman doesn't take care of the Predator, we will" omfg now to me personally that means that they know just how badass Batman is and that if the strongest person they know cant take it down, they'll do it themselves so like Batman is the first defence bc he big badass
Batman's suit in the first Batman vs Predator is the suit I felt should have been included in your alternate Batman suits video! Still the best looking suit you me!
thumbs up for the title alone .... but *ONLY* because I trust you Quiznos ...(yeah my wife and I nicknamed you the sandwich shop)... a trust based on not having a history of clickbait... and my early appreciation for your acting & guest hosting work on Ryan's channels ... *RIP FilmState* _I miss you_
3:35 WOW! F'N AWESOME. DIDN'T EXPECT THAT! Alfred comes out & shotgun blasts The Predator, saving Batman. Great writing. I remember long ago, a more mature Batman series was done or mature Batman books. I would buy stuff like that in a heartbeat.
Always been wondering if the Predator would show up in Gotham City for a visit at some point, they both are so very similar type of characters To the Predator, it's a safari hunting, and Batman is the lion, as they said it in the Predator 2 movie... When a Predator gives you a present, it's normally a sign of respect... They definitely have to make a movie like that, the Predator can easily be seen like some serial killers out in town, and they got a cutting edge for weapons and other high-tech tools, laser guns, cloaking system, everything needed to give Batman a run for his money...
People do not give Comic Predators enough credit. In comics the Yautja are capable of throwing fully grown bison when they were old and weakened by chemical cocktails and the best capable of killing tens of thousands of Xenomorphs, or Aliens.
No no no no. With the new Avengers movie, it's a planet/race of predators vs Thanos. Thats what we gotta know. Predator Thor, Iron man, captain predator... That's a freaking fight.
The first one, along with the first Batman/Aliens, is a very fun little read. Even as it sat on my shelf for almost 15 years, I never realized that it was Dave Friggin' Gibbons who wrote it. #2 and 3 are pretty bad though. The father Predator seems to miraculously regrow his lost arm halfway through the book iirc.
This needs to become an r rated film or animated film.
I always said that
Too bad Disney now owns 20th Century Fox and I highly doubt they'll want to work with Warner Bros/DC. Then again they did work Sony to let them use Spider-man back to back, so never say never.
hopefully it does
Well, they did it for Batman vs TMNT, so I have hope.
made the trailer czcams.com/video/IuAykIJ7DP0/video.html
Just imagine if there was a movie about this
Gareth Poon which batman would it be affleck bale or keaton
Kaleb Santos why would it be Keaton.
That One Guy at 7/11 I dunno he wasn't a bad batman
Bale
batfleck
Alfred:what if they come back?
Batman: they wont now that they have met what lives in Gotham
Drake Esteban
The predators won't come back after they encountered Alfred
I was about to comment this. What a badass
@@edwarduy2767 they kept coming back till he insulted a pair by capturing one of them and leaving them tied up.
Predator beat him to an inch of his life
@@grandcanyon-fu9zt and that was their biggest mistake leaving him alive
You forgot this little tidbit. The predator not only took the skull and spinal column of the boxers, he also took their HANDS as trophies as he saw that this is how this certain warrior fights so the hands were valuable to him.
I bought these comics back in the 90's still have them to this day. Hope they are worth some money one day.
with a Rob Liefeld lense instead of Frank miller.
Nahhh
I do too but my dad threw them all away 😡
The greatest power is how Arris changed shirts near the end of the episode without us knowing.
3.48 damn bet that baseball bet contains the anti-life equation or something.
Jason Nge nah just kryptonian wood
Dongus.inc I thought that was the nickname for Superman's junk
+@@ChineduOpara *the anti-life equation
Reverse life
No probably because Batmans pissed
Dude!! Thanks so much for reviewing this! I had the first book growing up and that's where I got my start with Batman's comics. I remember how crazy and bloody the first story was.... dude you just gave me a huge trip down memory lane. Thanks brother
I have the trilogy in TPB form. It's one of my favorites to just pick up and read, especially the first meeting. I may have to get them digitally.
Arris, you should cover SUPERMAN vs. ALIEN next.
Batman vs Batman
Yes I'm sure it happened
Jonanator 😂😂😂😂
Sorry but if it doesn't have one of the batmans saying Martha and the other one screaming at him "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME" then I'm not interested.
Yup, Bruce Wayne vs Jean Paul Valley.
Blood Knight bvs jokes aren't funny anymore
Jonanator it happened in batman the animated series
Why isn't this a movie yet?
It'd be real lit to see them fight on the big screen or real life
not really with batman’s plot armor
I remember when these original issues first came out. I found the ending to be VERY good! All the high-tech stuff that Batman and Predator had were either used up, destroyed, or worthless. Batman ended up going old-school with a baseball bat. I loved it!
You should do the times that Batman fought the Aliens
Cbat 1612 Do You mean Xenomorphs?
No , just aliens
lets not forget Batman & Superman vs Vampires & Werewolves
I just read those, thought they were pretty damn good
I would've lost it if Arnold Schwarzenegger called Batman telling him the secret to making the Predator "blind"
I'll just leave this here in case someone doesn't know but there's a Batman vs Predator short simply called "Batman vs Predator" it's around 11 years old now and runs at a Max of 240p but it is absolutely worth the watch!
Damn that's a pretty badass story
Some maniac in a bat suit fighting an alien? That's ridiculou- Oh wait
I've only read part 3 but now I have to read part 1now Thanx variant
ChainberTV You should. As Arris mentioned, the first meeting is by far the best.
The first story of Batman Vs. Predator seems very familiar to the first time Batman faced Bane.
Batman Faces a new and very powerful opponent, Nearly dies in combat, Spends some time recovering, And then uses some gadgets and knowledge to defeat the opponent in a second match.
EEYEP! The writers had recycled Banes story line for the Predator!
Well can it go any differently? I believe no to be honest..
No not really, predator beats bats no problem their first fight.
Bane had to release every Arkham inmate and let them all fight Batmans before he just stepped in and broke his shit.
So, it's the same plot as EVERY Batman storyline?
(I know it's not but when you break it down to such formulaic plot points, every Batman book would sound the same.)

2 year anniversary of my subscription to this channel spent whole watching old episodes of variant
My favorite comic team-up when I was in High School back in the early 90's. So awesome.

You should read archie and the predator yeah its a thing
.. and recent [passing] tangent on TheWeeklyPlanet comic book podcast
Ethanbossgames 15 Predator murdered them.
Isn't there a zombie archie
Ethanbossgames 15 Also Punisher vs Archie
Ethanbossgames 15 I thought that it was going to be one of the stupidest crossovers ever, but I ended up actually liking it.
I think we all can agree that Alfred is a bad-ass.
That was so cool
Nick Samaroo true babe
Batmans the type of guy whos smarter then Einstein, invented grapple guns far better then our own, has a supersuit that can allow him to kick supermans ass (hell-bat, btw, y not just use that suit to capture and detain all criminals in one night batman?) Yet still cant figre out invisibility, which we have
We dont have invisibility
Hell-bat armour isn't made by Batman...
^ we do, to girls..
Ismail x **Created a grappling hook that won't rip off your arm when u use it
zahir fakirzay it wasn't created by him but it was created for him he can use it if he wants to
Alfred: what if they come back?
Batman: uh, call Superman, I'm busy
What about the Gotham Villains? The thing these stories often leave out to their own demerit is what the villain response to something like this is.

WAIT .....Predator's armour couldn't resist the fucking baseball bat . Well, in that case I am ready to kick some high-tech alien's ass.💪
I have a copy of the original collected edition from '92.
It was the first comic my father ever gave me and it is one of the only possessions I own that I actually care about. :)
Have to agree, if you're a huge fan of Batman and Predator, this is a must read.
I just laughed way to hard at that Bat joke, good stuff brother, good stuff lmfao
This storyline would have been better if some of the villains in Batman got involved.
For instance The Riddler being hunted and Killer Croc being skinned. Bane getting the Billy death lol. Man that would be cool
YOOP I FUCKING LOVE HOW THE NATIONAL GUARD EVEN ACKNODLEGED THAT. "If Batman doesn't take care of the Predator, we will" omfg now to me personally that means that they know just how badass Batman is and that if the strongest person they know cant take it down, they'll do it themselves so like Batman is the first defence bc he big badass
Batman's suit in the first Batman vs Predator is the suit I felt should have been included in your alternate Batman suits video! Still the best looking suit you me!
All this fighting could been avoided if Batman just gave predator an autograph.😄
This was one of my favorite cross overs
“That’s exactly what he did cause at the end of the day he is batman” I’m so high and caught that joke so quick and closed my eyes because wow lol
thumbs up for the title alone .... but *ONLY* because I trust you Quiznos ...(yeah my wife and I nicknamed you the sandwich shop)... a trust based on not having a history of clickbait... and my early appreciation for your acting & guest hosting work on Ryan's channels ... *RIP FilmState* _I miss you_
god, i loved these so much as a kid. i will never forget the way Gibbons drew that blood
great video you should do one when Green Lantern fought the Xenomorphs
I would love to see Kraven vs Predator.
Now that be dope but scary man 😂 kraven would win and be knows as kraven the predator with his gear and all bye bye spiderman
I first read the comic as a kid in a grocery store while my parents shopped. All of them. I was 10 lol
Lucille was bashing in heads before Rick Grimes was a thought.
3:35 WOW! F'N AWESOME. DIDN'T EXPECT THAT! Alfred comes out & shotgun blasts The Predator, saving Batman. Great writing. I remember long ago, a more mature Batman series was done or mature Batman books. I would buy stuff like that in a heartbeat.
This was probably the first mini series I owned in it's entirety and also the first time I read the word "idiot"
Always been wondering if the Predator would show up in Gotham City for a visit at some point, they both are so very similar type of characters
To the Predator, it's a safari hunting, and Batman is the lion, as they said it in the Predator 2 movie...
When a Predator gives you a present, it's normally a sign of respect...
They definitely have to make a movie like that, the Predator can easily be seen like some serial killers out in town, and they got a cutting edge for weapons and other high-tech tools, laser guns, cloaking system, everything needed to give Batman a run for his money...
I love the first one. The Sonar Armour looked amazing. It was the first Predator comic I ever read.
One of the first comics my dad ever bought me because I loved the predator movies (and read batman anyways) so I remember this fondly.
Just when i thought Batman couldn't be more badass he fights the Predator......
woah nice story
People do not give Comic Predators enough credit. In comics the Yautja are capable of throwing fully grown bison when they were old and weakened by chemical cocktails and the best capable of killing tens of thousands of Xenomorphs, or Aliens.
Me: I dont usually give a like to any old video
Arris: 3:56
Me: *Repeatedly pushes like button*
History of quake ,poison ivy , the blue lantern core and the hellfire club !
I think that sonar suit batman puts on to go up against the predator is absolutely sick!!!
Love it
Even Robin knew thats why they call him BAT-man.
Imagine Batman vs Xenomorph
Little Snack there is around four comics of that
It happened
It's a thing
No no no no. With the new Avengers movie, it's a planet/race of predators vs Thanos. Thats what we gotta know. Predator Thor, Iron man, captain predator... That's a freaking fight.
dang batman and predator aside, alfred is such badass he saw a fucking predator and just shot it like boss
It would be a blood bath if Tim Drake were Red Robin. He’d slaughter the predators
This also continues into Batman vs Predator vs Alien
*Before you know it there's going to be Cyborg VS Terminator and Superman VS Aliens*
11 years old back then....I had that book! Good times! Wish I kept it...
Goddamn, that pred has to be a high rank to be able to beat bats as badly as that
"They won't not now that they know who lives in gotham" damn that's savage and badass I guess that's why his batman
I agree with the secret invasion reference at the beginning.
Predators always lose anywhere, no matter how much we vouch for them. Damn it.
I didn’t expect him to say “ he is Batman”
DC collectibles is making that suit along with Predator 2pack. Cant Wait
The T-shirt changes somewhere along the way, from Batman to Red Hood
I used to love these crossovers. I have their third book somewhere with some water damage and the last page missing lol
Superman vs. The Terminator, always wanted to read that.
The first one, along with the first Batman/Aliens, is a very fun little read. Even as it sat on my shelf for almost 15 years, I never realized that it was Dave Friggin' Gibbons who wrote it.
#2 and 3 are pretty bad though. The father Predator seems to miraculously regrow his lost arm halfway through the book iirc.
hey arris please make a video on DC's timberwolf...he's been my favourite superhero since my childhood
They should make a John Wick vs Predator series.
Yo you the man bro. You do a great job narrating the stories.
With black manta being in the new injustice 2 dlc plus him being the big bad in the future Aquaman movie. Can you do a history of black manta
batmans exosuit kinda reminds me of batmans armour from batman vs superman
Steven Hunter what about batman the brave and the bold
It's safe to say the predator can kill batman 1v1
So one of the greatest warriors in the universe was taken down by an object you swing at a ball for entertainment lmao Damn Batman is the man
Now i just hope he does a video on superman fighting the xenomorphs
Have you ever considered doing Alex Merced from prototype? I'm sure people know but I'd love to hear your rendition of it?
They should make a comic about Punisher going against the Predators
My two favorite fictional characters going face to face??? I need to read this!!!
Deathstroke the terminator vs Predator. "nuff said!
They use to call him "Crazy Arris". Now they call him Batman!
since then predator found his fear .
and he became batdator
Why I love Batman. He's got the Brains. Yeah he lost the first time but survived.
So technically Arnold Schwarzenegger is better than batman :l
Lmao
So is Danny Glover despite being "Too old for this shit."!!!!!
Well he's based of the original terminator who kicked Batman's ass. So yes.
Not necessarily, Arnold had a few hours of prep while Batman had none
Alfie Duggan Arnold is in a jungle he had less resource but defeated predator more easily and faster in a few hours. And its a Joke dude. :)
the art is AMAZING
Only the trained and highly skilled are killed.
> shoots old blind man.
My dad had the first one but then gave it to me and I loved it
Judge Dredd took on the Predator as well. 'That was good.
4:00 Oh Arris I love your sense of humor never change cause that was awesome. 😁
That shirt-change 😂
Even predator didn't able to penetrated plot armor of batman
