Not bad but really not my thing....
Honestly, this is my second favorite Batman/Superman story. It does such a great job showing why Bruce and Clark share a bond to begin with. Loeb did a great job with Bruce and Clark's narratives being parallels of each other. You see them reading each other's minds throughout the entire case, being on the same page, thinking almost exclusively about each other throughout the entire arc. Bruce is constantly worried about Clark's safety and going so far as to say he'd be okay with whatever punish...
I really wanted to like this one, but it was bad, painfully bad. It had a moment or two of hope and it held my interest, but ultimately I was left hugely disappointed. First off, this is by far the most homoerotic comic I have ever read. The relationship between Batman and Superman surpassed the “Odd Couple” and dabbled into the very strange territory of secret love affair. I’m sure this was not the intention of the author but the constant secret admiration and worship of one another is uncomfor...
An okay read! So this my first time reading the comic for this story, their was an animated film of this story, that I have watched over ten times! Unfortunately overall, I think I like the animated film better... My major issue with this story is just how confusing a lot of it is, I don't wanna spoil, but so much stuff happens in this one book that its crazy; I can see why the animated film they had to simplify the story a lot, but this one time, it was for the right reasons! So basically the s...
Reprints Superman/Batman #1-6. Batman and Superman team-up when Luthor frames Superman for the impending doom of the world. First off, I kind of like the art, but the story and writing is really bad. The juxtapositioning of Superman to Batman is interesting, but it is so forced that drawing out an entire series based on it seems fake. The supporting characters are so out of synch and the idea that Lex Luthor could turn the world against Superman with a lame press conference is laughable. At leas...
You can find my review on our blog by clicking here.The world’s oldest question: Superman or Batman? Now, what if it isn’t always a “or”? The two titans haven’t always been either side of the fence. Although their sense of justice and their means vary grandly thanks to differences in their childhoods, there are various similarities that bring these two together more often than not. Legendary Jeph Loeb brings forth one of the many popular series that stars the “World’s Finest” duo as they tackle
An asteroid from the planet Krypton is in a collision course with Earth..The president of the United States, Lex Luthor, blames Superman for this. Batman tags along to help Sups clear his name. Thus, the two become public enemies!For starters, the first half was pretty solid, however, the second half, I just did not care for.The story is fine, it's just that it would have been better if Jeph Loeb had not wrote it.More often than not, his dialogue comes off as stiffy to me, the kind of dialogue t...
A Quickie ReviewWhen it comes to superheroes, the old saying is true: You can't beat the classics. Superman and Batman are two of the standby comic book stars, and this volume of comics is entertaining despite both its age and its old-school cast of characters. It's not exactly perfect--there's some profanity, a little blood, and one heroine wears a buxom outfit--but, for what it is, it's quite fun.Score: 4/5
This is literally like a McDonald's value meal for the eyes. I consumed something, yes, but it's not lasting and I don't feel sated. Sigh.
Superb. Surely the very best iteration of the World's Finest Team we will see in our lifetimes.
Jeph Loeb...just this name is enough to motivate me into reading this series, and Mr. Loeb really doesn't disappoint. Plus the artwork is also good.PS: and President Lex Luther isn't such a bad idea after we saw what is going on in the real-life USA!
Lex's proof to the American people that Superman is to blame is baseless. Subplots were shaky. Overall, I feel the Public Enemies movie got it better. Still, a good book.
I love Loeb's Superman/Batman! If you haven't checked these out, you are seriously missing out on the fun.
This was alright, the art was a bit too cartoony for my liking at first but I got used to it eventually. Story-wise things were a bit cluttered, but I do love Batman and Superman's friendship/partnership and their banter so I might continue reading, but we'll see.
Lex puts out a warrant for Supes, a bunch of villains/heroes turn up to help/capture him, it's not heavy on plot as it focuses on Batman and Superman waxing poetic about each other. I'm not sure about the artwork some of it works and then at times it looks like a shitty knock off Bruce Timm. After reading some reviews i was expecting some over the top bromance, proclamations of love, life saving endearing moments, y'know a lil something something. But nah son, you all lied. It's probably a bit
I am so loving that I committed to reading more graphic novels in 2014 because books like this are so much fun! I'm actually a Marvel guy and have never read much in the DC universe but this book was a blast. Asteroid heading toward earth. President Lex Luthor offers a bounty on Superman (blames the asteroid on him) and an all out battle royal ensues. It's pretty much everyone against Superman & Batman - Soloman Grundy, Hawkman, Green Lantern, Power Girl (yea), Mister Freeze, Captain Cold, Mongu...
I was not aware of and had not followed any of the run up to this so it took a while to get into it. It was a nicely told tale and the art was very good overall. There are always moments where it dips but there was real spectacle here lovingly drawn. I liked some of the twists, I enjoyed the narrative style and the way the 2 perspectives formed a type voice over to the action and the storySo overall it was a good read, fun while it lasted. You cannot really ask more than that from a book. Its ni...
Where is the rivalry? Sure these guys may have already settled their debts and have learnt to work together, but where is the competition? Where is Batman’s naturally morose attitude? Where is his desire to show that you don’t need super powers to kick ass? This just didn’t get the relationship of the two right, and moreover it pointed out the most painstakingly obvious details such as “I hate it when he does that.” I mean we don’t really near to be explicitly told this. The art can carry it th...
This is one of the greatest team up stories ever!It starts off with Superman fighting Metallo and then Batman gets involved and there is some mystery involved with the death of his parents and how the former could be involved in it and a meteorite ..from Krypton is falling to Earth and with Luthor being the POTUS he says its Superman's plan to destroy Earth and so every Meta human is after him and its upto the worlds finest to stop these villains and stop Luthor and this insane schemes and they
Review originally published Imprint (Volume 29, Issue 33) [http://imprint.uwaterloo.ca/index.php...]Superman and Batman have always stood on separate ends of the "superhero" spectrum.The Kryptonian poster-boy of truth and justice has never seen eye to eye with Gotham City’s night prowler, having sparred on more than occasion for the very same reason.This comic collection from writer Jeph Loeb sees them fighting side by side, bending the spectrum to show that at the core, the two crime fighters a...
