Great that they got Josh Keaton for the voice, but fuck Marvel for not letting them actually use Spider-Man's likeness like they did in the source material. Not going to watch the entire clip but I hope Mark still takes shots at all the "-Man" names in comics when interacting with them.He only says it to Batman.

It'd be a bit much for a minute long cameo that'd ultimately distract from the actual plot of the episode.

Someone on the comics board reminded me that the crossover doesn't actually happen in the Invincible comic, but a comic published by Marvel. All you see in the actual comic Invincible is Spidey's hand and Ock's back.I actually didn't know that. I wish DC had done something too for Invincible's meeting with Batman
So I guess I prefer the scene posted in the OP to what they were allowed to do in the comic. At least we see some of the Marvel published side of things rather than just omitting it completely.
The first page mazingetter posted is from the crossover Marvel published, the second page is from the main Invincible book following that crossover as you can see by them doing the same thing with Batman, just showing enough to have you recognize who Mark is talking to without actually using the likeness.
I actually didn't know that. I wish DC had done something too for Invincible's meeting with BatmanIt helped that the original comic book of Invincible is completely owned by Skybound Entertainment, which series co-creator Robert Kirkman (probably best known these days for creating the also-Skybound-owned The Walking Dead ) founded, with Kirkman and Skybound publishing the comic via Image while retaining the IP themselves. For a while in the '00s, Kirkman was also writing Marvel Team-Up over at Marvel. So, because he could personally authorize the use of his own character (or if not that directly, then easily convince the rest of Skybound to let Marvel briefly use the IP), and the issue would be published by Marvel, they gave him the go-ahead to write the crossover issue, which basically expanded on that lawyer-friendly cameo from Invincible 's own book.

Unfortunately, the stars just didn't align in the same way for DC.
Based on how it was done doesn't seem they had permission to use batman either. Never fully shows batman and invincible never outright says batman.
OK so the thing i don't get is they just got time travel out of nowhere? Why is no one talking about this

They said they got it 20 in the future.Seems like a cop out

DC did a similar thing with Deadpool. Brought in a deathstroke from a alt universe who was clearly crazy but anytime he tried to introduce himself he'd get out "dead" and promptly get interrupted by like being punched or something.
He only says it once.
One of the artists of that story is Ryan Ottley, who was the main artist of Invincible (8-144).
