Description Having studied the public and private records of the ill fated Lake party, which lost many men in the mountains of madness, Batman tread quietly. The Starkweather-Moore team, secretly sent by Miskatonic University, had already arrived and had descended into the bizarre catacombs of the millions of years old alien city. Awed by the colossal megalithic architecture, he made his way downward into the bowels of the city.  

Comparing the Yithian data he had gathered with five pointed and dotted patterns adorning the base reliefs on the walls, the Dark Knight had enough of a grasp their rudimentary writing to try and give a shot at communicating. Quickly making his way toward the entrance to the lower abyss, he suddenly heard the screams of men, sounds of running feet and lastly a deafening, inhuman whistling...

Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!  

"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."
  –H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness

Okay, Batman verses a Shoggoth? Totally going with the Dark Knight on this one. His problem solving ability and athleticism will enable him to ultimately defeat it, and his superior intellect should protect him from any residual impact to his sanity that might harm the typical human psyche. 

Great artwork. Liking this Batman vs. Old Ones theme quite a bit!

Smiles!

Glad you like the crossover series!

You are quite correct in the assertion that the Dark Knight will somehow get himself out of another deadly impossible situation. 

Tune in next Bat channel, next Bat week to see!

Especially since Shoggoths only remove them, and play soccer with them only when particularly bored.
