While he may not be as well know to American readers , Dylan Dog is one of the most popular heroes to come out of the Italianfumetticomics scene . Created in 1986 by Tiziano Sclavi , Dylan Dog investigates supernatural suit out of his flat on 7 Craven Road in London . Often go up against zombi , vampires , wolfman and even a serial killer or two in his adventures , Dylan Dog regularly teams with his chum and roommate Groucho , a Groucho Marx impersonator who go away into his personality , as well as his mentor Inspector Bloch , his former supervisory program when Dylan worked at Scotland Yard . Summoned by a bell that holler whenever it is resound , Dylan Dog also enjoys play the clarinet and is a vegetarian .
Batman and Superman are both iconic heroes in their own right , but it turn out that Superman is responsible for one of Batman ’s major symbols .
As one of the most popular comedian theatrical role in Italy , it makes sense that Dylan Dog would be teamed with Batman for his first outside crossover . The two have similar characteristics , and their supporting casts complement each other nicely , as Groucho / Alfred and Inspector Bloch / Commissioner Gordon pairings feel like a natural fit for a crossover voter story . Perhaps most exciting is the teaming of Joker with Professor Xabaras , the longtime enemy of Dylan Dog who vivify the dead with a special blood serum and was finally revealed to be the Nightmare Investigator ’s father . The union of Xabaras with the Clown Prince of Crime should prove to be a monolithic threat , and Batman and Dylan Dog will have their hands full in dealing with the villainous teammates .
