Y’all. I just watched Batman vs TMNT, and without spoiling it…

If you like TMNT, go watch it. It’s funny, the turtles personalities are captured, Leo gets a little dose of ✨trauma✨, and Alfred sasses Mikey. It’s hilarious. It’s fun. It’s a little bit darker than usual TMNT, and I’ll hand it to DC, I don’t love Batman, but they aren’t afraid to get a little bloody.

I can’t speak from the Batman fans side of things, cuz honestly not really into Batman, but it was pretty good.

And also Batgirl looks a lot like April. But that’s just me.

Also Raph giving pep talks to Batman.

TMayNT day 14!

It's gotta be 'Batman vs. The teenage mutant ninja turtles'

The movie was such a fun crossover, the animation was great. And I love the version of Robin they used(Damian is a sweetie)

I have enjoyed all the tmnt movies I've seen. But I think this one sits at the top, it's a hard battle tho. The bayverse ones were really good; 2007 one was fun; the 90s(80s? Idk) ones were very classic; turtles forever was an excellent addition to the 03 series. Mutant Mayhem was a little weird but cute(those four are going to blow something important up, just wait) haven't seen the rise movie but with all the spoilers I know, I already know that I'm gonna love it.

Bracket(??) Announcement!

I have FINALLY (which I am very sorry for guys) finished going through my submissions and have created something that looks like a bracket. BUT, in order to include the most characters, I have devised a group round with 128 characters divided into 8 groups and have sorted them in a way that prevents this competition from becoming a batman vs spider-man final.

making the polls shouldn't take nearly as long so be on the lookout for those! this will be pinned and I'll make sure to edit this post with links to the polls, and matchups are not necessarily going to be heroes next to each other! matches can be made up by any two heroes in the same group

polls will last a day for now and one group will be posted per day

as of right now top 4 from each group will make it to the bracket round but that is absolutely subject to change so don't count on that

Watching Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the hundredth time and still being bitter as fuck that we didn't get a sequel.

Especially when it ended with this 🚨SPOILERS AHEAD🚨

A jokerised Shredder!! It would have been awesome. Also the TMNT casting was brilliant, especially Kyle Mooney as Michelangelo.

Poor Donnie

Did anyone have issue 44 vibes, I certainly did, my heart jumped into my throat, during these moments. 

Bane tries to break Donnie’s back/shell

Then Ra Al Ghul breaks his arm and kicks him off the walkway

Apart from a broken arm, he was fine.

Here's something y'all don't know about me (includes BATMAN VS TMNT SPOILERS)

I'm pretty good at figuring things out. Like really good. Motives, movies, I knew how GOT was going to end witbout watching a single episode

Just like how i knew, three years ago, that NICK was releasing the TMNT summer shorts to test the grounds for a new tmnt show ( i can go into that later)

But as i was rewatching the Batman vs TMNT movie (a worthy watch) I thought about why they released the movie. the movie all takes place in the same universe, which made no sense to me.'Why have it that way? Just to have it deviate from the comics adaptation? But then I thought again, and it hit me

They were testing the fandom in a sense, just like the TMNT SUMMER SHORTS so long ago. They didn't want to build a whole tmnt universe yet. They wanted to see if we'd even like this movie. This way if we decided we hated the movie, they wouldn't have to worry about wasting a whole new tmnt animatic universe.

How do I know this?

They've done it before

Remember Justice League vs the Teen Titans? it seemed random, out of no where, based on a very popular TEEN TITANS season. But still using the established DC animated Universe as a testing ground

then boom

TEEN TITAN ANIMATED MOVIES

They want to test the potential for a whole new TMNT movie franchise based on cartoons. Just like the DC animation movies, only they couldn't just have them appear in the usual Dc Animated universe, hense the need to create a small verse. That's why they chose this storyline. It would draw in two sources of fandom and see how we reacted. And maybe even testing to see how we like the IDW comics. cause i'll be honest, they have a great thing going now and I'd love to see Donnie get murdered on the big screen (weird sentence i know)

If they go through with this, it would be great for the rest of the fandom hungry for serious content. And give ROTTMNT it's own freedom

hold on to your seats guys

I think we are in for a lot or TMNT animated movies.

Hello everybody.

It's about The Batman vs TMNT movie, so if you didn't see it, PLEASE, DON'T READ it, 'cause it's a SPOILER! 😀

Ok. So, I was disapointed, cause the animal mutation of the Arkham's bad guys were badass in the best way, but they didn't get new names. So, I decided I fix it.

Enjoy 😁:

Scary Crow

I think, it was oblivious for everybody, next.....

Toxicodendron

I know, the "Poison ivy" would be good too, but I want come up with something new.

The word "toxicodendron" comes from latin, the race of the poison ivy's

Mr. Polar

Let's face it: he is a polar bear with ice gun.

I come up with the name "Ice bear", but I prefer this version

Pard

At first, I didn't know, what kind of animal was him, I thought it's a gepard.....

I give this name, because there's no pun or word with feline + bane, so I want something short name like Bane

It could be "Catbane", a pun, make reference to "Wolfbane"

+ fun fact: there is a cross word puzzle with the name "Cat bane" 😸

Meow face

I wasn't sure the "meow" and "two" sound at least a lil' bit similar, and I'm still not......

Howley Quinn

I just saw her and BUMM......

I mean, come on, what ever could it be ......?

* I belive she is a wolf and not a hyena.... they don't have a fur or tail like this.....

And, fur last, but not for beast... :

Snaker

At first, I want call him "Sneaker", and it's still would be great name, I think

I love his designe, especially the fake-face on his back

I think he get "laughing venom" in his new "fun-gs"

+ Bonus:

Man bat

I think it was a reference for the real Man bat. But it could be just because Batman usually became a giant bat like creature, when he turn into a "manimal"

Dr. Langstorm (the Man bat) usually turn into monster when he swallow or inject himself some liquod like thing, and here comes an interisting question: Maybe the doctor use some kind of mutagen for his transformations ?

Thanks for the likes or comments, if you don't see the full movie, then I just suggest you.

[vickorydickorydock]

I have watched Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles three times now, and have to say it’s pretty good. It’s hilarious, the turtles are really sweet and badass, and it is frankly astonishing how many references they managed to cram into this movie. It may not be particularly deep, and I may have a few personal nitpicks, but overall Batman vs TMNT was a funny and enjoyable movie that paid homage to the source material of both franchises. 

~~spoilers and nitpicks under the cut~~

That said. 

I have mixed feelings about this movie. On the one hand, as a stand-alone movie it’s pretty solid. Lighthearted and funny for the most part, with appropriate darker emotional beats to give it some depth, and action packed with some pretty wicked fight scenes. Sounds like the perfect tmnt movie. It's just, some parts of the plot were really shallow. Look at all these Batman villains! Ooh, all of their greatest enemies are combining super evil serums that mutate people into crazy monsters! They have to fight mutant versions of Batman’s entire rogues gallery! Oh shit Batman got mutated! Nvm it’s fine he’s cured now! Like I know they probably didn’t have enough time to set up something more elaborate / deep, and they want it accessible to newcomers and kids, but sometimes it just really niggled at me. 

A few of the emotional beats were also really, really forced. The prime example of this is when Bruce tries to kick the turtles off the mission. Like, that drama was so unnecessary. They saved his life, they’ve fought the Shredder more than just about anyone, they don’t cause wanton property damage like his JLA pals, so there’s no logical reason besides drama to give them the boot. Then Raph has that rousing speech about family equals team equals family, but uh…. They’re not family. The turtles are, but they’ve been working with the Gotham vigilantes for all of two days, tops. (Tbh I cringed through that speech every time I watched it). 

I did love all the nods (and jabs) to the tropes within both franchises. Seriously, I could make a whole other post about all the references in this movie. It may be a little silly at times, but it paid serious homage to the roots of both Batman and TMNT. The end credits especially. 

Some of the jokes were hit or miss, but when it hit it HIT. This movie was so fucking funny. Commissioner Gordon wanting to retire somewhere “where the turtles don’t talk and clowns are funny.” Mikey pointing out Gotham’s numerous, inexplicable blimps — and it coming back as Checkov’s gun joke at the end — was hilarious, as was Harley complaining about how nobody respected her doctorate. “Eight years of college, three years residency, and he says nurse!” Mikey vs Alfred was something I never knew I needed. 

Ra’s wanting to turn the human race into animals makes sense, from what little I know of Ra’s al Ghul. Nobody could agree on how to pronounce his name though. Raesh, Race, Raws, pick your poison. 

Bruce pulled his “I work alone” bullshit… after the turtles save his ass. But what gets me is when the turtles say, “we’d be better off on our own.” Because it’s true in this case. The turtles get downplayed next to the Bats, especially when they go up against Batman. That scene where they first fought Batman bothered me so much. Like, these guys have been training since they could walk in most iterations. I know he’s “The Batman™” or whatever, but you’re telling me four highly trained ninjas can’t land a single hit? Puh-lease. I’m not saying they’d beat him that’s up for debate, but come on, they could put up a better fight than that. 

Damian’s voice is the WORST. It’s like nails on a chalkboard, I winced every time he opened his mouth. 

Speaking of Damian… Look, I gotta say it. Haters don’t @ me, it’s nothing personal. But it was so obvious to me that they wanted Tim Drake for this movie. TMNT is a goofy premise. Even in the more serious versions, they get up to silly antics and do dumb stuff.

Damian doesn’t do goofy.

I haven’t read Super Sons — I hear it’s far more lighthearted than some of his comics — but Damian’s non-fanservice plot lines tend to edge toward the gritty, edgy, and angsty. Though characterization varies, Damian is often a proud, snide, forty year old curmudgeon in a preteen’s body (when he’s not being a spoiled brat). Lighthearted, weird adventures are not his thing, and his character/personality doesn’t mesh well with those kinds of storylines… as evidenced by this movie. It just felt so forced every time he did something silly with the turtles. 

Tim is the Robin who went on goofy adventures. He’s the one who giggled after close calls, and pulled ridiculous antics to save himself and others. It just doesn’t work with Damian, knowing him from the comics as I do.

But what really got my goat is when HE PULLED OUT A FUCKING BO STAFF 

(That is Tim’s signature weapon, for any non comic book fans reading this) 

Like Jesus, just use Tim. You clearly want to.

Side note, but semi related: I think Cassandra Cain’s Batgirl would have been much more interesting to play off the turtles than Barbara’s. Especially since these guys seem so similar to the 2003 iteration. I think I’m going to have to write a fic where 90s/early 2000s Batfam meets TMNT. 

I loved the turtles in this movie. Their introduction with the fight against Penguin was all kinds of awesome, and they all get a chance to shine throughout the movie. Mikey technically saves the day twice. With some help from his bros of course, but Mikey strikes two key blows, and his skills are never downplayed even when he’s being goofy. I said it earlier, but his interactions with Alfred are hilarious. Raph and Leo chafe against each other at times, but not to the point of overwhelming Mikey and Donnie (looking at you, 2007). They are both fiercely protective of their family and that love gets spotlighted. Donnie is so smart and geeky, I fucking love it. He figures out where the Batcave is using maps and common sense — eat shit Bruce! That scene where Leo and Donnie face off against Ra’s is so fucking good. (Also, when Leo kicked Ra’s in the nuts I nearly took back every bad thing I said about this movie).

Look at these turts. They’re so fucking cute. And badass. Adorabloodthirsty, to traumatize you ex-Homestuck folks out there

In summary, I have some personal hang ups with this movie, but from a trying-to-be-objective stance it’s a solid 7/10, do recommend. Thinking about reading the comic Batman vs TMNT to see how similar / different they are
