Batman VS Predator #1-3 (Dark Horse, 1991 First Prints)
The title speaks for itself: Batman vs. Predator
When a series of bloody, brutal murders suddenly strike an abnormally hot and humid Gotham city, the Dark Knight himself begins an investigation that leads to a near-fatal confrontation with the deadliest hunter in the universe, the Predator! Totally unprepared for such a brutal onslaught, a severely beaten Batman must rely on more extreme methods to win...
Whether you like one and hate the other, or if you like both titular characters, you'll love this collection! The classic atmosphere, drama and story element of the Batman comics is persistent throughout. This particular story is also one of the bloodier Batman comics in its time, so this is clearly not one for the kids...
Probably one of the best aspects of this story is the mind games between the Predator and Batman. The impact of the Predator on Gotham city is great, and after the first encounter leaves Batman almost crippled, the Predator has free run of Gotham. Throughout this time, the Predator cleverly tries to lure the wounded bat from his cave, knowing that his prey has escaped him, and the Batman is, in fact, the greatest prey in this concrete jungle. Some of the tactics involve manipulation of the bat-signal, to even a timely 'interruption' of an urgent phone call from the Commisioner to Batman himself!
As a fan of the Predator, and a former comic book reader, I can honestly say that Batman vs. Predator is one of the best comic compilations I have been able to pick up in quite some time. A great read if you are a comic book fan, and a MUST read for fans of either title character! - Michael Pappalarado (Dec. 16 2001 - Amazon)
