Shredder did something in this movie that comic villains rarely do. He prepared for round two with Batman. He upgraded his claws, forced the fight onto awkward terrain, and immediately targeted his utility belt.

[@izukumidoriya8600]

OH SHIT I just realised, yeah the claws are upgraded good spot

[@Anthyrion]

And he is one of the few, who really hold his ground against Batman. That proves, how good the Shredder is trained in Martial Arts

[@reginaldfrempong6644]

He clearly beat Batman. Raphael had to step in to save Batman

[@kolat10]

Batman knows more styles and may have mastered them but theres levels to it. Where as Shredder is fully focused in his, thus has access fo hidden arts where batman hasnt had the time to go that far or the trust to get those secrets. So yeah Shredder could hold his own.

One of the greatest crossovers ever. I love Batman's interactions with the turtles, how they have opposing personalities, but are so similar in a lot of ways. Batman vs. Shedder is the fight I never knew I needed, and the mutant forms Batman's rogue's galery takes are really cool.

To answer their question, yes, New York does still exist in DC. DC has every real location exist, countries, cities, monuments, while also having all of their fictional ones as well. It’s actually to the point that when DC and Marvel had crossovers in the past, it was confirmed that DCs Earth is slightly bigger than Marvels to accommodate all the extra locations.

[@proclarushtaonasat]

wait doesnt victor van doom have an entire country or something? also wakanda. or does the dc universe have lots of extra countries too? when i think of dc locations i just remember lots of cities (gotham, metropolis, gorilla city...), except maybe wonderwomans island.

[@CommanderSteelTrap]

@@proclarushtaonasat Yeah, Marvel has some places like that for themselves, but DC just has way more. They’ve got places like Themyscira, Markovia, Kahndaq, Bialya, Rheelasia, Kasnia, Kor, Qurac, Zandia, Vlatava, Zambesi, plus several dozen extra cities like Gotham, Metropolis, Central City, Star City, Coast City, Hub City, Gateway City, Amnasty Bay, Blüdhaven, Dakota, Fawcett, Keystone, Midway, Opal City, National City, Smallville, Gorilla City, and just a ton more of both I didn’t mention, that’s just what I can remember off the top of my head. Marvel keeps most of their characters localised to New York most of the time and the characters introduced outside of that exist mostly in real world places, whereas DC has created tons of extra Cities and Countries for many of their heroes and villains, while also having many live in real world places.

So to answer your guys' question on Robin its simple. In this movie it's Damian Wayne. Who is the biological son of Batman and the newest robin. You can usually tell by his personality and more ninja looking suit. Dick(Nightwing) was first who usually as robin has no pants.He is the robin in Batman the animated series, teen titans and young justice. Jason(Red Hood) usually has a more red and yellow suit as compared to Dick's Green and red. And Tim is usually a mix between Jason and Dick's suit ergo with pants.Appears in batman the animated series and young justice He is also the smartest but isn't used as often as the others. But yes this is Damian and he is basically a trained assassin hence the personality.

33:52 the scene of Bane trying to break Donnie's shell actually had me hold my breath for a second when I first watched it, because all I could think of was that 1. Bane has broken Batman's back before and 2. Donnie's shell HAS been broken by Rocksteady before in one of the comics (though, to be fair, Rocksteady had used a sledgehammer, not his knee XD)

[@legoben98productions]

I was concerned too considering the times of Donnie’s shell and bane’s iconic action, especially since compared to irl turtles the shells are attached to their spines (I always expect it to be the worst case, but they never acknowledge that about turtles in fiction)

@@jackcrofts-mullin461 Originally Metropolis was based on Cleveland, but that was back when Smallville was in Ohio. As the comic universe expanded, the city took inspiration from Toronto, New York, and Chicago.

DC changed this in the Silver Age moving Batman to Gotham and removing real-world cities as places of operation for superheroes moving Batman to the harsh and Lovecraft influenced Gotham, Metropolis got moved to New York, and Green Lantern Hal Jordan was placed in Coast City which was sort of an amalgam of San Diego and San Francisco.

[@gwenfairholm8080]

Quick explanation for the underwear over the suit: batman is designed like that because he is partially inspired by the first superhero, superman. Superman is designed like that because he is visually inspired by circus strongmen, which kids from 1938 would be familiar with. Strong men back then would show off their mucsles, but had to wear full body skin-tight tights to do so, because being shirtless was considered basically naked back then. The tights didnt leave much to the imagination, so they would wear trunks over the top of the tights. So, to show that superman was super strong, they put him in a strong man outfit, but more colorful to catch people's attention and with a cape to show motion. This set the standard for superhero outfits, so batman did the same thing, but bat themed. Also, that sort of means it's more accurate to say batman is wearing booty shorts over his costume. Do with that information what you will

Lol in the comics crossover that this movie was based off of, they establish that the DC Universe is completely separate from whatever universe the Turtles are from. This movie basically did away with any multiverse shenanigans and just treated this universe as being inhabited by both Batman and the Turtles. They even have a meta joke where Mikey is super stoked about visiting Gotham City, only for Donnie to say: "They're pretty much the same city." In DC Comics, for the most part, their fictional cities/locations do exist alongside real-world cities/locations. Though, Gotham City has traditionally been treated as kind of the "New York" or "New Jersey" of the DC Universe. Straight up, this movie is AWESOME. Such a great love letter to both the TMNT and Batman franchises, with great action and character moments, as well as plenty of easter eggs and in-jokes for the fans.

So answering some questions: Gotham City is based on two cities: location wise, it’s New Jersey. Style wise is New York. The Robin in the film is Damian Wayne, who is the actual biological son of Bruce. His mother is the daughter of Ra’s. There is Batgirl who is Barbara Gordon and there is Batwoman who Kate Kane (Bruce’s cousin). The giant penny has two origins, the one of the animated shows, it was Two-Face. In the comics however it is a character known as the Penny Plunderer. He was from very early in Batman, who famously died from that Giant Penny when fighting Batman.

It's separate from the animated series but the art style is fairly like The Batman tv series, but not its character designs. No no, Batgirl and Batwoman have always been two different entities: Batgirl is typically Barbara Gordon - daughter of Commissioner Gordon, the outfit she wears in this movie is her 'burnside' outfit, more practically made, was very popular - she also went by Oracle as a 'person in the chair' kinda character, but probably should know about Killing Joke to learn why. Batwoman is typically Kate Kane nowadays, debuting in 2006 after comics reused the mantle from Kathy Kane's iteration between the 60s-80s (funnily enough, Kathy's Batwoman was a love interest to Bruce to stop the gay allegations against Batman because, again, it was the 60s), Bruce's cousin on his mother's side, her suit looks more like Bruce's though her origins are less connected to the Bat Family than Barbara's, also one of DC's most prominent LGBT superheroes. Okay: Giant Penny! Alfred's fault. He suggested that Bruce kept mementos of past successes; originally it was something a low-tier villain called the Penny Plunderer tried to steal, in Zero Year it was retconned to be used to defeat the Riddler, BTAS attests it to Two-Face, but the giant penny tends to be an art piece Bruce just goes 'ima take this' and nobody thought twice about Batman carrying a giant penny out. Young Robin - meet Damian Wayne, fifth and most current iteration. Bruce's bio baby with Talia al Ghul, so Ra's al Ghul's grandson, trained mostly as a feral assassin boy but now under the Bat Family's watch to be a less stabby vigilante, but still feral. Probably the second edgiest Robin just behind Jason Todd, but he still has time...and he respawned quicker. In most timeskip comics since he does take up the mantle of Batman. Many Bat-villains are doctors; Strange and Harley are psychiatrist doctors, while Ivy and Freeze are science doctors We've still yet to get the sequel, which leaves the potential of jokerized Shredder still up in the air.

After an awful work day, having to go get a cavity filled, and being stuck in standstill traffic, this was a major bright spot in my day. Thank you guys for reacting to an awesome movie and thank you for brightening up my day. Much appreciated! ❤😊

Gotham is usually in New Jersey! New York does exist. Locations of fictional cities change sometimes though Batgirl and Batwomen are separate. The first Batgirl out of 3, Barbra Gordon is the daughter of commissioner Gordon and is the the same age as the first robin (Nightwing). After becoming paralyzed from the waist down she becomes Oracle, the bats' tech guy. Batwoman is Kate Kane, Bruce Wayne's cousin. She actually got into the whole vigilante thing before knowing her cousin was The Bat. The robin of this movie is Damian al Ghul-Wayne, and is Bruce's bio son as well as Ra's grandson, he is the 5th (?) To hold the robin title and is generally 10-14 yrs old and hasn't grown into his own hero identity. Damian is the most serious/formal of the robins, as he was raised in the league of assassins until he was ten. Movies, animated or otherwise, never manage to show how many kids batman has. The consensus on who is most often counted as a robin, in order: Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Jason Todd (red hood), Tim drake (red robin), Stephanie Brown (Spoiler/Batgirl), Damian Wayne (robin). There are more kids that aren't apart of the robin lineup such as Cassandra Cain (Batgirl/Black Bat/Orphan) and Duke Thomas (Signal) the only metahuman of Bruce's kids. there are always more the further out from the 'main continuity' you go. many more Harley Quinn is a doctor of psychology. She has a PhD, I appreciated this movie acknowledging that. Those covers are real! DC owns more than you think, including TMNT

38:29 The robin in this movie is Damian Wayne, Bruce's biological son, with Tallia, daughter of Ra's Al Ghul. She raised him until he was 10 years old, and then introduced him to his father, who had no idea he even existed. That's why he is both extremely skilled and also arrogant

[@junemoeggenborg1873]

Cant believe y'all cut "HEY CREATURE! LEAVE THAT KID ALONE" it's the funniest line in an amazing movie lol

Gotham City is located in Gotham County, New Jersey, not in New York. It's closeby to NYC but the two are different cities.

[@anthonyramos9232]

This is not from any established series but previous Batman voice actors from various Batman shows/movies/video games return for this film. Stockman being a mutant human fly became popularized by the 80's series in the 2003 Stockman is progressively mutilated by Shredder until he's just a brain in a jar or cyborg body. The Robin in this movie is Bruce's biological son Damien Wayne.

[@alexpainter4169]

"8 years of college, a 3 year residency, & he says *nurse* " that line is just hilarious to me!

[@nvp8191]

The fun thing about the turtles is their origin tie in with daredevils origins in the chemicals that got in there with eyes are the same that effected the turtles.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Honestly one of the best crossovers. Any 80's kid who played with their Batman and Ninja Turtles action figures together yearned to see this happen. It took about 30-plus years, but it didn't disappoint. Batman vs. Shredder is such a highlight, and I love how evenly matched their fighting skills are. It's not really canon to anything, but there are lots of little nods and references to both IP's lore in the comics, movies, toys, and video games.

[@goldenboy82]

The giant penny was used by a Batman Villain from decades ago known as The Penny Plunderer. He strapped the Dynamic Duo to it and threatened to flip it. If it landed on tails they'd live, on heads however they'd obviously be smashed by the weight. And yes this version of Robin is indeed Bruce's son Damian Wayne.

[@armaghedron]

This movie is an adaptation of the DC/IDW crossover of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles miniseries. Batgirl and Batwoman are different characters. Batwoman is Kate Kane. Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon. There have been several Robins, as you probably already know, 1st Dick Grayson who became Nightwing, 2nd Jason Todd who became the Red Hood, 3rd Tim Drake who became Red Robin and 4th Damian Wayne the biological son (i.e. not adopted or cloned) of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul (daughter of Ra's al Ghul). There is a 5th Robin in canon, Stephanie Brown who was formerly a hero known as Spoiler. Brown died while trying to redeem herself after Batman fired her as Robin. Carrie Kelley is an Elseworlds (i.e. non in the primary canon) Robin that worked with an elderly Batman.

[@Samgreen90]

(At 14:10) This is the first time Batman's actually had to go up against… children.

[@Ringking-ws7bz]

This is Damen the last Robin animated wise , His mother is Talia Al Ghul ironically

[@aquelgamermexicano]

"The thing with comics is that idk where to start" That's the double-edge sword with comics, there are times where alot of comics are by all accounts, isolated stories, so whatever you start, you run the benefit of getting one short yet interesting story, but also one that just matters to itself. Which doesn't sound like a bad thing until you want to read more stories and then the next story acts like the one you read and enjoyed, was pointless and irrelevant, so you're just always meeting a new version of whatever character you're interested in. For instance, you can technically start with The Killing Joke, but the Killing Joke is also kind of its own thing. Same with something like "Dark Knight Returns", you can watch it and just take it as the story of a retired hero going back in the game, but that comic only matters to itself. I shall repeat, that's not a bad thing, it's just the way comics work, and it has its pros and cons. Using the obvious drastic example, One Piece is worth reading its 1000+ chapters, but that's the thing, you're investing that much time on its story, where a comic book might not ask you for that long period of time, yet every thing One Piece related within those 1000+ chapters is relevant to its story. And Manga isn't necessarily absent from that practice, but it's more common to have everything be part of ONE series.

[@Devin1789]

One of the greatest crossovers ever. That Batman vs Shedder fight was amazing.

[@darriongeorge5137]

17:35 i like how the goons body is perextly alligned with the reactor box

[@Plasmagon99]

This Robin is Daynen Wayne son to Bruce Wayne and grandson to Ras. He is typically the 3rd robin after Dick (Nightwing) and Jason (Redhood).

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

2:36 - Here's the pitch meeting: Pitcher: "I have a crossover title featuring two martial-arts themed properties that people will love." Executives: "I'm not so sure..." Pitcher: "They're both established franchises, one of which we own, both of which are popular with children and older fans so well make a lot of money and ther-" Executives: "Say less, you're greenlit." It's just that, unlike most projects that start like that, the people working on this actually gave a shit about the source material and characterization. 48:13 - Depends on the situation. In this case, if it was realistic, there would be a serious concern about the whole thing going down and the Ooze and Joker toxin ending up in the water and contaminating people. In the case of timers connected to warhead launches, you could prevent the launch but not the timer countdown and have it blow up in your face. Literally every single person on the planet when they saw this: 53:15

[@AGMGrayLineProductions]

For the sake of the answer: The common reason for the T-Rex is that Batman saved a theme park called Dinosaur Island and the owner gave it to him. That's like the common reason no matter the iteration, as its purpose and usage changes between universes.

[@Devilsblight86]

Their reaction to the blood was my reaction because I was so used to TMNT cartoons being kid-friendly for over 40 - 50 years that it completely took me by surprise.

[@jerrydboss7251]

Batman v Shredder was a dream come through

[@TuckBolt]

Barbra Gordon, daughter of commissioner gordon, is batgirl. She's rotated between identities Oracle and and Batgirl due to injuries. She recently got better though and resumes the mantle of Batgirl.

[@primepm8861]

This was adapted from a storyline from the comics and it was a LOT more convoluted. The Turtles were battling Shredder et al in New York City when a device warped their reality and had them transported to the DC universe, in this case Gotham. The Turtles also had to work against the clock as their mutations were having an adverse effect on their bodies so long as they remained in Gotham. Also Splinter was actually there and he was OP; he was the one that found the batcave, and he fought and owned Batman.

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

One of my favorite DC animated films of all time. It's pure unadulterated fanservice and I love it.
