Tintin and Batman and the Outsiders

 

Batman has been called the World's Greatest Detective and Tintin can never pass up a good story, so it wouldn't surprise me to see the young reporter get involved with The Outsiders, especially when there's a mystery to solve.  Tintin previously met Batman in STF #752, and first encountered him way back on a B&B cover from 2010...

  1. Initially, this seems like a sequel to STF #3164. Which, at the time, I thought was the middle of a trilogy that began with STF #2562 and concluded with STF #3424. But, now, I have to wonder: "Is today's cover the conclusion to what was actually a tetralogy?"

  2. Irrelevant to this cover (which is nicely done, by the way): I came across something this morning where someone pointed out that Superman is a refugee from a destroyed planet, and it occurred to me that Silver Surfer is in pretty much the same situation. I think there's a story there -- a sequel to #129 (their only one-on-one pairing to date), anyway, where they work together, perhaps seeking out other space refugees and giving them a place to go.

  3. A great idea, Bob! And the two of them could start with the citizens of Haven. That ecumenopolitan space ark DC canonically introduced back in 2002...and haven't done anything with, since.

  4. is that magic produced ice? With Rex there, i would think he could counter anything else on his own or with Batman's input.
    Tintin and Jimmy Olsen must have some very interesting stories never published.

  6. @Bill: you mean, the Teen Titans?

  7. @Carycomic: he must. Titian was an Italian renaissance artist. Making him more appropriate for a Tin Tin/TMNT team-up!

  8. Well since you've never done it before, you might as well have Tintin team up with the Metal Men.

    If you include Nameless in the issue, then you can say "it's three Tins for the price of one".

    Maybe they can battle the Iron Maiden villainess from the old Thunder Agents series.
