Batman/Superman (comic)

5 on Batman/Superman #9 reviewThe current Batman/Superman series hasn’t been the kind of book that I would also be reading if I wasn’t reviewing it. In my previous reviews I have expressed my opinions on dialogue, pacing, exposition, and the fact that the story itself is sometimes overshadowed by the many references to other books. However, I enjoyed Batman/Superman…
It’s not a secret that I’m not the greatest fan of this series. The Batman Who Laughs stuff didn’t resonate with me, and I also did not give issue #7—which started off the current arc—a favorable review. This issue, however, is definitely an improvement! Let’s have a look. Nick Derington is one powerhouse of an…
Except for #1, I haven’t liked a single issue of Batman/Superman so far. In large part, that’s because of the quality of the writing. I find myself having a lot of the same complaints, and rather than seeing improvement, in my opinion things have just been going downhill. This issue, #7, which thankfully moves away…
I mainly disliked the "Secret Six" arc (#1-5) because of the dialogue. It was like the infection just made people talk and behave like edgy teens rather than serious threats. My main concern going into this issue, therefore, was the dialogue. Interestingly enough, it’s not the dialogue that gets me this time. So, buckle up,…
If you’ve been following my reviews on this series, you will probably have noticed that the overall score has gone down from issue to issue. You may also have noticed that I’ve had similar complaints throughout the series so far. It’s no different for this issue. I don't think this is a particularly good comic,…
Issues #1-3 of this series weren’t exactly my cup of tea, but nevertheless I got some entertainment out of them. Issue #4, on the other hand, is hard to read for me. Not only do I tend to get bored when I see superheroes fighting each other (an outdated trope that Supergirl in this very…
Let me just get this out of the way: Dwayne Johnson has HUGE boots to fill. I’m not some cinema snob who can’t enjoy stuff such as Jumanji – it’s a fun, lighthearted movie, and The Rock brings a level of charm to his performances that’s hard to shake. I like him well-enough as an…
Since issue #1 I have been having mixed feelings about this series. There are things that I enjoy, and then there are things that I really dislike. This third issue doesn’t do anything to change my overall opinion on the series so far, as it manages to entertain me about as much as it manages…
The first issue of Batman/Superman ended with our heroes stepping in the Batman Who Laughs’ cave and encountering an infected Shazam. This second issue, after a brief intro page, drops us into the middle of the battle between our heroes and Shazam. It’s a fast and entertaining read, but can it also be considered a…
Although Batman/Superman is a brand new ongoing series (previous World's Finest series notwithstanding), it should be clear that its first arc, “Who are the Secret Six?”, is a direct continuation of the 7-part The Batman Who Laughs miniseries by Scott Snyder and Jock. It isn’t necessary to have read Snyder and Jock’s comic because there’s plenty…
DC Comics announced today that The Batman Who Laughs will continue to terrorize the DC Universe this August in an all new World's Finest team-up series. Batman/Superman by Joshua Williamson and David Marquez will feature our heroes chasing down six heroes who have been transformed into the darkest, most evil versions of themselves by The…
The gift of Dark Nights: Metal keeps on giving this fall, as a brand new Batman/Superman series launches. Spearheaded by Joshua Williamson, David Marquez, and Dave Stewart, the new ongoing series finds the titular heroes teaming up to track down a group of villains who have been infected by the Batman Who Laughs. What’s more,…
Who is Superman's Joker? Who would target those closest to him just to cause him pain? Batman/Superman Vol. 4 explores one possible answer to these questions, as the World's Finest face a deadly threat with designs against the Man of Steel. Batman works against the clock to track down the villain and counter his methods, but can…
Like its immediate predecessor, Batman/Superman Volume 3 is a collection of several self-contained stories. One serves as a New 52 origin story for The Atom (or at least for when Ray Palmer started calling himself that), one ties into Doomed, and the last two tie in (somewhat) to Greg Pak's original arc for the series. What's included Inside, you'll find…
Less ongoing saga, more "Legends of the World's Finest", Batman/Superman Volume 2 collects three (largely) self-contained stories. Grek Pak, Paul Levitz, and a host of artists team up across nine issues from Batman/Superman and World's Finest to produce a loosely-connected, diverse collection of tales of video games, war, and lost worlds. What's included Game Over includes Batman/Superman #5-9, Batman/Superman Annual…
What happens when the Trinity heads to China to track down a solar flare with an identity crisis? What does a Chinese Justice League look like? These questions (and more!) are answered in this week's Batman/Superman #32, as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman continue to investigate a dangerous new threat, with Superman's impending death looming subtly…
Prepare to have your heart warmed, broken, and thrown in the blender once again. As Pete Tomasi's two-month takeover of the Superman books continues, Batman gets involved, a mysterious new super-being flexes his muscles, and the World's Finest must fight through a mysterious new threat. When you happen to be looking for the world's greatest detective...…
In this issue, we get the conclusion of Taylor and Rocha's "Universe's Finest" arc. Superman contends with his mysterious captor, Batman cruises the cosmos in Lobo's ride, and--not satisfied with merely capturing our imaginations--the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel capture our hearts. How long have they kept you here? I haven't been reading comics…
It should come as no surprise that Tom Taylor--who knows Batman and Superman well enough to write a satisfying conflict between them in the Injustice series--would write the most satisfying picture of the friendship between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel since the start of the Batman/Superman title. A murder. A message. Last month's Batman/Superman #28 left off…
Batman/ Superman #28 "Universe's Finest" Written by Tom Taylor Pencils by Robson Rocha Colors by Blond Considering the past year has practically been void of stories featuring the real Batman, I find myself getting REALLY excited when we are treated to a story that actually does. Layer on the fact that Tom Taylor (Who had…
