Batman/Aliens

Batman and a handful of soldiers have to travel to Mayan ruins between Guatemala and Mexico to prevent an Alien outbreak.

Batman/Aliens 2

In 1927 an explorer discovered something frozen in the Alaskan ice and he brought it home with him to Gotham 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.
