Product Description
Batman. Tarzan. Two orphaned noblemen who have honed their minds and bodies to the peak of human performance. Two fearless warriors who have sworn to protect their respective homelands. Now, a new evil has surfaced, one that will bring these two legendary heroes together for the first time; one that threatens both of their "jungles". A mysterious Catwoman is not about to let the ancient, priceless treasures of a hidden empire be plundered by the malevolent archaeologist known as Dent. Who better to enlist in her cause than Batman and Tarzan? In a rousing adventure that reaches from the shadowy spires of Gotham City to the dark forests of deepest Africa, all the skills and instincts of the Dark Knight and the Lord of the Jungle will be needed to save an opulent lost civilization from destruction. Co-published with DC Comics.

 One crossover that should not have happened October 16, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
When Bruce Wayne attends the opening of the new Wayne Wing of the Gotham City Museum of Natural History, he meets Lord Greystoke, Tarzan. And when he meets an African Princess, who goes about disguised as a cat, he begins to learn that the man acquiring artifacts for he Wayne Wing is an unscrupulous adventurer. So, Batman, Tarzan and Catwoman set off for Africa to stop the evil treasure hunter before he can do any more damage. But, will they be in time.
Overall, I thought that this book did a good job of capturing the true characters of both Batman and Tarzan. Both characters operated as you would expect, fighting the evils that infect their respective jungles and doing what it takes to set things right. The illustration work is well done, but always darkly colored, no matter what setting.
My real problem with this book is the simple problem of settings. Tarzan's presence on the rooftops of Gotham is never explained (don't even get me started on the rooftop Masai warriors!), and Batman seemed so terribly out of place in the jungles of Africa.
No. Sometimes crossovers are great, providing some interesting moments, and chances for expanding existing character. But, this is one crossover that should not have happened. Overall, I do not recommend this book.
 Classic Serial Material March 16, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to buy this. As a fan of Edgar Rice's Tarzan novels, and NOT the silly movies that have come out over the years, I was all too ready to have Tarzan be a stupid ape and not the intelligent, if slightly-uncivilized, British Tarzan of the novels. However, kudos to Ron Marz for getting it right. There are some classic lines in this series, and both Batman and Tarzan get their share of the spotlight. Using a 50's Batman model and Burroughs' Tarzan proved a great decision and makes for a campy read reminiscent of old serial shows. In my opinion, this is a must-get for Tarzan or Batman fans.
More For the Tarzan fans than Batman October 29, 2000
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've been a Batman fan for a while, espceially interms of Catwoman. When I heard about this title, I thought I would pick it up, but ended up being somewhat disappointed. The tone of the story seemed to fit more with Tarzan, which I have never read, and the "Catwoman" in the story was not Selina Kyle, but the princess of an African tribe. Still, the artwork style is interesting and the story fairly fast paced. Not a horrible read, but not what I was expecting.
