[edit] Plot
[edit] Batman/Aliens
Batman and a handful of soldiers have to travel to Mayan ruins between Guatemala and Mexico to prevent an Alien outbreak.
[edit] Batman/Aliens 2
In 1927 an explorer discovered something frozen in the Alaskan ice and he brought it home with him to Gotham City where he sealed himself in a lab. It remained undiscovered until a present day construction crew broke it open to find the explorer torn apart.
Dr. Fortune, an army scientist, soon gets wind of this and hatches a plan to combine the aliens with DNA from Arkham Asylum inmates to create a xenomorph/supervillain hybrid capable of keeping the superheroes in check.
