Synopsis:
A dormant volcano in the Andes Mountains harbors a deadly secret powerful enough to destroy the world. The world’s finest—Superman and Batman—find themselves in a terrible dilemma. It’s now up to them to save the world from the long-lost colony of Predators and Aliens without killing.
And if they don’t find a way fast the Terrestrial Defense Initiative (TDI) will intervene, unwittingly causing destruction on a much larger scale. It’s an unexpected crossover at the Andes!
AWEsomeness:
This is once again a clash of the monsters—alien monsters to be precise. This fight is also something to be witnessed, but what can I say again the humans are caught in it. Humans, make it more captivating, always, lol.
My Review:
Aliens vs. Predator is action-packed itself, and now their brutal might and crooked technology are tested against Superman & Batman; this is an action one would love. This two-part tale also shows their contrasting struggles to save lives and why both heroes are the best at superheroing; this non-canon crossover is a glimpse into their moral philosophies.
Rating: 3/5

This is such an intriguing crossover idea—Superman and Batman facing off against Predators and Aliens in the Andes? Count me in! The stakes are sky-high, and I love how the story forces the heroes to find a non-lethal solution. It adds a layer of complexity to their usual methods. The mention of the TDI potentially causing more harm than good is a nice touch, raising the tension even further. The setting of a dormant volcano feels like the perfect stage for this epic showdown. But I’m curious—how do the Predators and Aliens end up in the Andes in the first place? Is there a backstory to their presence there?
Of course, there’s a backstory, and it justifies their reason for staying hidden for this long, too.
