I can't see you response, buddy.
Nice username by the way, a Lovecraft fan.
Sorry about that, I've just fixed it.
Yep, I'm a bit of a Lovecraft fan. Part of my love of Alien stems from this.
Another thing about this crossover is that there's no superheroes in it. Unlike some of the later Batman and Predator crossovers where even Superman shows up.
But in this one, it could very well read like some random rich vigilante in a Bat costume encountering a Predator. It's as if it's not even in the DC universe.. if that makes sense.
I love the Lovecraftian influences in Alien. Something about the Engineers is also very Lovecraftian. When people think "Lovecraft", many think of Cthulhu or some weird monstrosity.
But sometimes, it's also the utter meaninglessness and helplessness of our existence. How these really powerful beings could easily overpower or destroy us.
That's the bit that the Engineers embody. Some of the recent comics further explore this, even when we're space faring, they still have the capacity to eliminate us! With their cool monstrosities of course. XD
