10 Most Bizarre DC Crossover Events Since 2000
9. Batman And Superman Vs. Aliens And Predator
Batman and Superman Vs. Aliens and Predator is a lesson in one-upmanship if ever there was one. By the time this two-part mini-series was released in 2007, we had already seen Batman Versus Predator, Superman/Aliens, Batman/Aliens, and Superman vs. Predator (in that order).
With those four series (as well as several sequels) under their belt, the folks over at DC and Dark Horse decided that the next logical step was to throw all four properties into the same comic and see what happened.
This crossover is bizarre enough on a conceptual level, but what adds to the weirdness is the liberties it takes with the Alien and Predator franchises' respective mythos. To be more specific, this comic reworks the backstories of the Aliens and Predators, stating that they've actually been on Earth the whole time, unable to leave for centuries.
Naturally, it falls on the shoulders of Batman and Superman to get both extraterrestrial races off of Earth once and for all, but not before it's revealed that the Predators actually view the Man of Steel as a deity-like figure (which makes sense, given their obsession with raw strength, but still sounds very strange to say out loud).
