Lastly, DC Comics has announced a brand new crossover event titled “Batman Spawn,” and yeah, it’s all in the title there. The Caped Crusader will indeed be facing off against Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, making for a major crossover between DC and Image Comics. As for the story? DC’s brief logline reveals, “After staying out of each other’s way for almost 20 years, the Court of Owls steps in to try to use Spawn to beat Batman.” McFarlane is partnering with Greg Capullo on the crossover, which is set to arrive in December. 

McFarlane had this to say about it:

“Look, this is really simple. I get to play with one of the greatest comic characters ever (Batman), get to reunite with amazing artist Greg Capullo, AND am able to mix in my own creation (Spawn) into the storyline. These are the types of projects many of us creators in the comic industry only get to be a part of a few times in our careers.”

The other great news is that the previous two crossovers between the characters, “Spawn/Batman” from Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane and “Batman/Spawn: War Devil” are going to be collected and released as “Batman/Spawn: The Classic Collection” on November 15 as well. Be on the lookout for the first issue of “Batman Spawn” on shelves on December 13, 2022.
