Spawn/Batman

Product Information

In addition to revealing the covers, it was also announced that Batman/Spawn #1 would also be available at Barnes & Noble stores – the first mainline DC comic book they’ve carried since Detective Comics #1000 in 2019 – with an exclusive variant from Todd & Greg. Here you have two creators who have spent the bulk of their careers on these characters at the same time. So it's not like you're going, Hey, we'll go get whoever's the hot artist and we're gonna put 'em in. I mean, I'd still buy that book if you’re going to have the JLA meet the X-Men or whatever,” he says. “I don't care who [drew] it, it would be sort of fun. But if it was somebody that had done 8, 10 years of those characters at the same time and a writer who wrote one of those characters for a long time, then you're adding those other components that make it a little bit easier to inflate those [sales] numbers.” You’d think with everything McFarlane does aside from comics that the intervening years since that abandoned 2006 crossover would have modified his approach somewhat. Oddly enough, though, it seems like Capullo, the guy who’s been almost completely in comics since then (he’s done art for several metal bands in addition to his comics work), is the one who’s undergone the most change in the intervening decade and a half.

Todd McFarlane's hobby of drawing began at an early age, and he created the character Spawn when he was 16, spending "countless hours" perfecting the appearance of each component of the character's visual design.

The version of Joker we see in Batman Spawn is how he appears in Greg and Scott Snyder's "Death of the Family" Batman arc. Why did you decide to include this version of the villain over others?

There’s something charmingly accessible about Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. Talking to them, you never get the feeling that you’re talking to a multimedia titan of geek culture or one of the most beloved Batman artists of all time, respectively. It feels more like running into two guys tailgating outside an Ozzy Osborne show, inviting you to geek out with them about their comic art collection, shooting the breeze about the car they’re working on together, and periodically dropping preternatural draftsmanship wisdom sprinkled with comic art history. And then McFarlane will say something like, “I’m in the business of cool. Period,” and you suddenlyremember that you’re talking to two of the biggest names to ever create comics and that they’re teaming up for a fresh Batman Spawn crossover that is likely to be one of the biggest books of the decade. After his battle, Spawn learns Malebolgia had caused Urizen's release in an attempt to start Armageddon and conquer the forces of Heaven. Spawn and Angela journey to Hell to stop him. During the battle, Angela mortally wounds Malebolgia, who kills her in retaliation. Consumed with anger, Spawn takes Malebolgia's head.
