Okay, now having both read and watched Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I have thoughts. (spoilers)

While the movie makes a new universe where Batman and the Turtles co-exist, the comic makes the choice to be a dimension hoping adventure between the actual main comic continuities between both franchises.

This facilitates a specific plot point the movie doesn't have, as the mutagen from the tmntverse exists in the dcverse it goes inert, meaning anything affected by it will unmutate. This means two things. 1) Functionally it kills the boys if they don't make it back it the universe in time. 2)it also means anyone affected by in the dcverse will only be affected temporarily. This means the stakes are raised for the tmnt while guaranteeing no lasting damage to the dcverse.

Other things the movie cuts from the comic:

Raph having beef with Batman (Cowabummer dude)

Casey Jones existence

Splinter successfully stalking and figuring out Batman's secret identity

the TMNT scuffling with Killer Croc

The Batman Intimidator suit

Things the movie adds:

since there's do dimension hopping the movie replaces The Foot stealing portal stuff to get home with them stealing stuff to disperse mutagen

since there's no dimension hopping Gotham people getting mutated is a much bigger deal

the Arkham inmates getting mutated is featured more

Baxter Stockman

Babsgirl

more Damian

So while it does add stuff the movie is overall a more streamlined plot compared to the comic.

Also interestingly, while the two have many similar sometimes even identical scenes, the tone is very different. in the comic everything is very serious and dramatic. But without the existential threat of the brothers being unmade, the movie is allowed to be more comedic.

I think all of these changes add up to the movie being the more fun and enjoyable version of the story. As it has less plot to get through its less rushed, and you really get to enjoy the expanded version of certain ideas (like the mutated Arkham villains) even if you do loose some good moments in the process, (Raph and Bruce in Crime Alley).

And the comedic tone is a boon too, as outside of certain scenes I had troubles getting invested in the emotions and how serious the comic was trying to be. Maybe if had gone harder into the horror of being unmade, but it didn't. Instead it felt like a shallow way to raise the stakes.

Meanwhile the movie was more earnest while still encouraging you to laugh at how objectively silly some this was.

So yeah, those are my thoughts Batman/TMNT the movie is better than the comic.

#dc #batman/tmnt #batman vs tmnt #idw tmnt #tmnt #cause the comic does try to tie into the idw continuity #harold reference? amazing #that said #if i didn't like the comic #why do i still kinda wanna read its sequel?

rules for thee and not for me

#sorry the t/rf thing was like an actual roach infestation so I made a new post and deleted the old one and turned off reblogs #but I didn't want you to be without the og comic so here you go guys #nice fresh and clean #old tags ->#funnies #btw you're allowed to watch the silly sisters and the giggle brothers just keep your morals consistent istg #its very embarrassing when you criticize someone for enjoying something from a problematic creator #whilst openly being a fan of another thing with an awful creator and defending them because you like that thing #really weird hill to die on

here you go! thank you for the ask, this was a lot of fun to do! they're working on a case together ^^

#ask #super sons #jondami #damian wayne #jon kent #batbabyart #after getting this ask i couldn't stop thinking about older Damian outfits 😭#just based on comic artists throughout the years Damian's got a fairly decent range of style it was hard to choose but v fun!!#Jon's wearing a bunch of layers to cover up bulk while Damian's layering to give off more bulk LOL #i decided to lean a bit into Cizmesija's recent look for him and contrast Jon's more colorful casual wear #didn't want tooo much Batman 666 vibes so i tried giving Damian another color option thru A but i still liked B more lol #also every time i draw older Damian his hair keeps changing sdfgh that one poll apparently did not help me decide haha

#i haven't drawn in like. half a month. which listen i know i don't post much here but i do draw a lot #i have another blog. but also sometimes i just don't post things. i draw for myself #just got burnt out from working on an animation final 😔#so anyway. eased myself back in with a silly comic about portal #my irl saw my shitty sketch and thought glados was painting chell which is very funny to me.#chelldos #but like. unrequited. glados is obsessed with chell. chell is not having a good time #portal #chell #GlaDOS #GlaD0S #my art #og post #1k #5k #10k #20k #yuri #shipping #edit: i made this post almost a year ago and it haunts me. theres a typo. chell is out of character.#because i couldn't come up with a good reason for her to be there in the first place #and this was a shitty ms paint replicating drawing that i did just to get back into drawing #i didn't think it would gain much attention #i was Wrong #anyway someone in the comments said this is what happens when you speedrun thats an infintely better setup for the punchline #EDIT 2: ok i fixed it fuck you

People keep on asking for more Baby Robin and Papadile so here is more Baby Robin and Papadile. Now never ask anything from me ever again

#My art #One Piece #Long post #Sir Crocodile #Nico Robin #Alternatively panel 5 would've been a close up of Crocodile's face from Robin's POV where he looks like he's giving her a death glare #Not intentionally he's just a big scary bastard with a Resting Murder Face and Robin is a small traumatized child #But I wanted to focus on the silliness of the moment so you get the goofy version instead #IDK man there's just something very funny to me about the idea of Robin just randomly info-dumping about a subject she's read about #And Crocodile being like ''?????????????????????? The fuck you talking about??''#Robin leaves the ship's kitchen and Crocodile just stares at the tomato like ''...It's a fruit? Forreal?''#(Meanwhile Robin is sweating bullets like ''I called his favorite vegetable a FRUIT right in his FACE he's going to KILL ME'')#Robin grew extra feet from the bottom of her feet to reach the counter and that actually isn't me trying to explain bad art away #In the original Papadile comic there was a panel of Robin doing the dishes with extra feet to reach the sink but I cut it out #(It was a stress relief comic I did not feel like drawing a complicated background in detail) (BUT YES I THOUGHT OF IT)#Nico Robin Age 11 is *more* than capable of cooking Crocodile just does not trust her with his food. At least not yet #She did start doing the dishes unprompted and continues to do so (mostly out of fear). Croc told her she didn't have to but allows it #IDK a lot of people seem to headcanon Crocodile as incapable of cooking and like. Surely Mr ''I don't trust people'' knows how to cook #Like he doesn't have to be a master chef or anything but and maybe he enjoys not HAVING to cook (pain in the ass with one hand + knife/hook #But surely he can cook decent enough. SURELY #Botanists don't @ me I know the ''tomato is a fruit'' thing isn't fully accurate this is just a silly little haha comic

it's zoro's birthday!! happy birthday big guy, may you say many more insane things to your enemies in the coming years

#one piece #zolu #comic #a while ago I reread some of the earlier arcs in one piece and was caught off guard by zoro's dialogue in the daz bonez fight #finally got around to making a comic abt it #boys fluctuating wildly between chatting shit n making jabs at eachother n having a sweet heartfelt moment #they have the range #the weird shape next to zoro's face in the second panel used to be a question mark #umm but it didn't get erased fully apparently #and im too lazy to do anything about that now that i've noticed it so enjoy!#oh also when luffy says baaastard hes imitating zoro saying temeeeee #does quite have the same feel...“baaaa” like a sheeps bleat vs the kinda drawl-y rumble of “meeee”...oh well

Cass, pointing at Jason: we're twins

Tim:

Jason: *6'3" 200 lbs of Latino rage and muscle*

Cass: *5'1" 120 lbs of Chinese murder and love*

Tim:

Tim: you're just not

Cass, patting his shoulder: it's okay. easy mistake. we're fraternal twins

Jason, holding up a gun: yep. twins.

Tim: ... good for you

Cass: :D

#dc #dc comics #batfam #cassandra cain #jason todd #tim drake #i think the murder twins having a very close age is untapped comedy guys #like c'mon #i like the idea cass didn't fully understand birthdays #and by the time it got explained to her she was already adamant that she and jason were twins #and now if you try to tell her otherwise #jason is hovering with a gun to protect his twin's happiness #guys chill jason as latino is a headcanon im well aware

i was REALLY surprised i hadnt seen anyone animate over anything from the prevenge script reading yet, so i took matters into my own hands. i thought this bit was hilarious

audio from here

#transformers #maccadam #tailgate #ultra magnus #mtmte #lip syncing is actually a lot more fun than i expected #but tailgate's mask probably saved me like eight hours lmao #speaking of him i'm REALLY happy with how expressive he ended up being #i really didn't expect that kind of deformation to mesh well with the... uh... mesh.#so i was pleasantly surprised when it turned out as great as it did #mags' model was hard to figure out because he is SO FREAKING INCONSISTENT IN THE COMICS #but that also meant i got to cherry pick the features i liked best/that were simplest to model so... still a win #tailgate's blissfully consistent tho. his hood thing gave me a lot of trouble but i managed #this is my first time working with a lot of geometric shapes so i ran into a lot of road blocks but i did it!! yay!!
