Here once again are the strangest ever comic-book heroes; they have featured in movies and TV shows for decades but are still so evergreen in their oddity that their wacky high-concept premise – mutant masked underground crime-fighting turtles with a love of pizza and the names of Renaissance artists – pretty much has to be explained all over again every time they are revived.
Well, this new animated origin story for the chelonian adventurers is unexpectedly funny, with a rather stylish crepuscular design. You’ve heard of the Spider-Verse; this is the Turtle-Verse, and it is directed by Jeff Rowe, who co-created The Mitchells vs the Machines, and co-written by Rowe, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, with Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit.
