Batman versus Predator is a comic book crossover featuring a duel between Batman and the creature from the Predator film. It was written by Dave Gibbons, with art by Andy Kubert and published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991.
The first book opens with a boxing match in Gotham. Each of the fighters are backed by two of Gotham's biggest gangsters. When the winner of the fight is killed in his apartment shortly after the bout, Batman is called to help investigate the crime. At first, many believe the rival boss was angered by his fighter losing but the dead fighter had his spine and skull ripped out, which would be very unusual for a regular mob killer to do. Batman's main goal early on is to avoid a battle on the streets of Gotham between the two mob bosses. Batman soon pinpoints the Predator's hideout. In a deadly duel, he comes close to losing his life to the Predator.
