Planetary comes to Gotham City searching for a man who has gained superpowers from government experimentation. His powers cause himself and the Planetary team to shift to various versions of Gotham where they meet various versions of the Batman, like the 60s TV version and the Dark Knight from Frank Millers stories. It's a quick read, only 48 pages, but entertaining. The artwork by John Cassaday is the best part.

A goofy but perfectly serviceable Batman story. Loved how Batman still managed to be on top of the situation while coming across as reasonable. Also, the fan-service with the jumping realities was well done, and a good use of the Planetary continuity.

Just fun all around

And that was a pretty good crossover. A good Planetary story. A good Batman story. But part of that has to be, I know who Batman is (doesn't everyone?). This isn't a great story, it doesn't break new ground. But it makes good use of what is available. And it takes advantage of the thinness between worlds.

Could have & should have been longer / better. Lots of potential to this idea but a totally lazy execution in terms of storytelling.
