For the last thirty years, Spawn has been a staple for comic readers. The character shares an anniversary with his publisher, Image Comics. Created by legendary writer, artist, and action figure maestro Todd McFarlane, the character has grown exponentially over the last three decades. With live-action films, an animated series, countless crossovers, and tons of McFarlane action figures -- Spawn has become one of the most recognizable characters in pop culture. Now, Spawn is about to face another icon in Batman Spawn #1 by McFarlane and artist Greg Capullo.

Batman Spawn #1 follows these two brooding heroes as they come together to defeat a common enemy. McFarlane sat with CBR at New York City Comic Con to talk about Spawn's epic thirty-year journey and the new Batman crossover. He also gave fans some exciting insight into the long-awaited Spawn film starring Jamie Foxx.

McFarlane also gave CBR a chance to unbox some new figures for the upcoming Black Adam movie!

Batman Spawn #1 hits the shelves Wednesday, Dec. 8th.
