Batman and Captain America vs The Joker and Red Skull! 

"I won't kill you... but I don't have to save you... from these bullets that I'm firing."

no a sequel where it's batman and nightwing and cap and falcon vs a team up between winter soldier and red hood

"It was a crowbar..... eh ... ehhhh " Ben looking for anything from Sal.

I loved when, on Civil War, Captain America attacked Punisher after he had killed some villans, and rather than fighting back, Cap was yelling "fight back!!" and Frank said "not against you"

I'd kill for a dc/marvel comic with ACTUAL Comic POP dialogue. Who wouldn't want Joker actually saying "I'm sorry, are you a fucking skull-man??" lol

"It's a crowbar" - LOL! Too soon!

Man, can you imagine a Marvel/DC crossover now? Mephisto meets Nekron, Luthor meets Dr. Doom, and the Red Skull meets Ra's al Ghul while Captain Marvel and Hal Jordan bond over being in the air force, Doctors Fate and Strange argue who's better at magic, and Batman's just in the corner of his cave plotting to defeat all the Marvel heroes. Too bad it'll never happen.

A modern Batman ww2 elseworld story sounds like an amazing concept tbh, Jonathan Crane being a nazi or some shit developing his fear toxin for the nazis or something along those lines.

2:30 "And if everyone's edgy; no one is" lol

"we have a project named project gotham we can't tell you what it is but you should totally fund it" jajajajajajajajajajaja LMAO

In John Byrne's Generations, which is implied to be in the same continuity, they survive, it's implied that Skull takes Joker as a prisoner (although Skull isn't mentioned by name), and after the war Joker is taken by the Russians and spends four years on a Soviet labor camp until Luthor saves him to help him steal some gold kryptonite. Also, you should do Generations one day, it's great.

sergeant rock sounds like DC's version of Nick Fury

It's funny how Sal inadvertently predicted Captain America in Vietnam which happened in Spider-man Life Story, but there they made it happen in a way that WASN'T a betrayal of his character.

This is a fun story. You don't really get to tell adventure oriented capers with Captain America these days, he's almost more of an espionage/Black ops kind of character now.

Ben’s reaction to what he thought Joker would say being true was hilarious!

So I don't know these characters very well but I always thought of Sgt. Rock as being the DC counterpart to Marvel's Nick Fury, not as we know him today as an gent of S.H.I.E.L.D, but in his original incarnation as _Sgt Fury & his Howling Commandos_ Is that an accurate comparison?

Sargent Rock was one of the soldiers being helped by John Stewart (Green Lantern) in the Justice League cartoon.

I love this crossover it's really interesting to see batman and captain America team up

Captain America overhearing Bruce tell Dick about his appointment with the Joker and misconstrue it as them being in cahoots is like an episode of Three's Company! lmao

love the Indiana Jones references I'm sorry son they got us 😂

I bought this day one back in the 90s, and have yet to read a better Marvel/DC crossover. Loved Byrne's art in it especially.

I know it's selfish to demand and to place expectations, but this is just the dream list. You guys rock and are one of my favorite channels on RU-vid. You'll be at a million in no time with the high quality stuff that you already put out.

This was the first comic I ever owned as a kid and I read this ... I don't know how many times ... and I freaking LOVED it. I think about 3 months ago I found it again in my basement. Still love it. So nostalgic!

A fifty minute episode of Back Issues with Batman and Captain America? Time to fix some microwave pizza and sit back. :)

I'd love to have a batman cross over omnibus.

Sal looks over Bens head and then the card for Spiderman Reign pops out. Simply amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

49:08 Sal looking up to the corner for the link is the most meta yet subtle joke I've seen on this channel lol

One of my favorite scenes in this book was the simple size up they do for each other.

of all the potential crossovers, this one would be last in my mind to even consider being real.

Also, if playing the ComicPop drinking game, 30:40 take a shot when "circuitous" is mentioned.

I love how Ben's attempts at sarcasm keep backfiring

One of my favourite Marvel/DC crossover ever. I want a animated movie from this.

There is a further elaboration in this same continuity called batman/superamn generations, where it follows bruce and clark as though they continued through the years assuming they both started in 1939.

John Byrne? I'm sold already. I love John Byrne.

don't forget Big Gizz from that Star Wars story!

This is one of the most enjoyable Back Issues episodes I've ever seen lmbo

I've waited a loooooong time for this one.

You guys have absolutely GOT to do Invincible! It's legitimately the best superhero book I have ever read. If I'm being honest, I feel like Invincible is one of the better superheroes we've gotten in recent years. Anyone agree? Please? Someone?

It would have been a great time to do Wonder Woman by George Perez

Sal looking at the link instead of pointing it out is subtle and funny. 👌

I like these videos so much I find myself watching them for events I don't even like

Hasn't even started and I already hit the like button. Just needed the title.

Happy birthday, Sal!

I recently read the John Bryne Superman/Batman Generations book and was happy to see that this story takes place in that universe. You cam read it between issues 2 and 3 of volume 1 if i remember correctly and we also get to see what happened to Joker.

41:50 that sequel would be amazing. Maybe someday, if the big two ever work together again.

A Captain America/ SGT Rock cross over, by itself, would be much more epic.

I would LOVE for you guys to do Xmen/Teen Titans corssover, since you've done a few DC/Marvel stuff like this... :)

Wait, Comic Fortress?? I GET MY PULLS THERE!! :D

Know what I needed after a long day at work? Food & a new ep. Thank you

8:45 "YES. THAT'S WHAT I MEANT." The proper response to anything ever.

It's funny that Sal said that they would never cover the first Batman/Punisher crossover, only to end up doing it in 2023. At this point, we could make a supercut of all the times that he said "I'll never do X book" that he just ended up doing

You guys should do Multiversity. That book confused the shit out of me lol

My fuckin hero! The guy that got me to enlist! Sergeant fuckin Rock!

Love this episode! We ever gonna get a Valiant episode?

18:01 love the Robin jokes !😂😂😂

Happy birthday Sal.

Sal I'm going to submit the idea of "Superman: at earths end" for back issues. I think you'll hate it enough to enjoy it.

I know of atleast one comic, drawn by Neal Adams, where Batman threw a Hand grenade into a Nazi plane.... Ughh. I can't remember the comics name and I don't find it on google at the moment. But I know that Batman was there undercover as Bruce Wayne and not as Batman(although he did eventually dressed up as Batman)

Oooh, can this be a sign of a coming Superman/Batman Generations Back Issues? Since this story is in that continuity

The actual origin of yelling Geronimo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo_(exclamation)?wprov=sfsi1

What made you wanna do this book? I've never heard if it before I'm intrigued

Could you please revue the Batman crossover with the Spirit? :)

Do Superman: Up, Up and Away! One of the best Superman stories ever!

I'm sure someones mentioned it here but there was a series of Frank Castle as Cap. It was amazing.

Hey Sal, sorry if my memory fails me, but wasn't there a plan for that Zoidberg in the background to back a cameo in all the comicbook channels?

The Joker=Dio Brando confirmed.

That Captain American of Vietnam War story happened, its the origin of Nuke

Thank you for properly calling it the oh shit hande

Captain America not killing people in WW2 was so weird he fought in one of the worst points in world history

I mean hydra would have enough scientists and bomb makers, they would just need Oppenheimer for the know how.

These are my favorite episodes! Crossovers!

This was a great episode.

Radioactive Joker semen made Harley Quinn crazy.

If john carpenter wrote this crossover instead: We're here to chew bubblegum and kill nazis, and we're all out of bubblegum!

More crossovers are always good

G-d, I love this comic. I just read it earlier today and I love the comradery between Cap and Batman. Sure, the artwork's okay (I feel John Byrne was best in the '80s) and it's weird how they try to tie it in with Superman/Batman: Generations at the end, but it's so cheerful and fun and respects both characters. Plus, I will always love Joker's revolt against the Red Skull. Even American clown criminals hate Nazis.

THE JISSLER RETURNS!!!

Is it possible that you could do an episode on the secret wars (2015) event because I personally really liked it. It would also be fun to see you rip Civil War 2 to shreds....... god that event was terrible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Nuke the Captain America of Vietnam War?

Wasn't this crossover set in the Superman/Batman Generations universe?

34:25 They stole that from The Rocketeer lol

what does "Geronimo" means?

Marvel had Sgt Fury and His Howlin' Commandos. 😎

Funny moments 13:30 16:00 18:30 22:20 30:30 34:00

Does Ben think Joker was bitten by a radioactive clown?

Do a Back Issues on Daredevil Born Again??

The Punisher in Vietnam as Captain America fighting the joker.2 COMEDIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They should make a modern version of this written by ed brubaker

Rope is stronger than chain for tying not lifting

I gotta support Ben, If Spidey's spunk gave MJ cancer then the Joker's could be toxic...

12:08 I still see that

This was great!

Batman and Captain America should be in the same universe

You guys ever gonna do teen titians earth 1?

Holy shit I've never wanted a fake book as much as I want that time displaced Legacy Batman/Captain America sequel. It checks off all of my favorite things about comics: Legacy, Crossovers, and Continuity.

me second Sal a big fan

I thought everyone says Geronimo lol guess I'm just unaware

I think Batman superman Generations is a sort of sequel to this story

comicpop is my tv

It's a strange idea, but I feel a Jay Garrick Flash and Captain America story in this style would be pretty cool
