All this year I'll be posting Punisher comics. Most of them will be from the pre-Ennis era, but some will be from the Ennis era. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
This week I've posted a couple of Punisher team-up miniseries, first with Captain America (you can read that one here: ) and then with Wolverine (that one is still up and can be read right over here: ).
Today we're going to read another couple of team-up comics, but this time it's an intercompany crossover with BATMAN.
Yes, The Punisher DID in fact crossover with Batman. Twice, in fact. Both times in the 1994. First with the replacement Batman from Knightfall (aka Azrael) and then with the "real" Batman himself (Bruce Wayne).
The first one was written by legendary Batman scribe Dennis O'Neil. And the second is by the classic Punisher War Zone team of Chuck Dixon and John Romita Jr. I'll be posting them in the order that they were originally published.
BATMAN - PUNISHER - LAKE OF FIRE / PUNISHER - BATMAN - DEADLY KNIGHTS
This is one pompous looking Dracula wannabe. looks sick as fuck.

Can someone else handle this? I really don't have the time to type all this shit out.
This gist though is that Bane broke Batman's back and temporarily paralyzed him and while he was paralyzed a dude named Jean-Paul Whateverthefuck took over as an "edgy 90s" version of Batman.
