The official SUPERMAN/BATMAN discussion thread

[kiuju2k]

I don't try to break my neck for this one. I'm on and off. All I could tell is that its pre-crisis.... I don't read much supergirl unless i'm at the shop and browsing. It still sucks btw.

 

[supes_el]

i'm glad next issue starts with a new arc...this was hard to read

 

[Anubis]

I enjoyed it. Love Silver age stories with a modern spin. Didn't even mind the dream thing. They could have just had PG telling Supergirl about one of her crazy adventures back when Earth 2 exsisted, which would have seemed less silly, but over all, I liked it. Versions of characters we are likely to never see again. It's good that they are remembered now.

 

[Darthphere]

Meh, im used to Superman/Batman's crazy ass stories, but this one was pretty good in comparison.

 

[Conundrum]

In which month does Pat Lee's arc begin?

 

[Mogwai]

How do you guys like verheiden & van sciver's first arc so far?

 

[kpjoon]

Batzarro should get his own comic book hahahah.
For some reason I really like him.

 

[regwec]

I liked the most recent issue- decent, solid storytelling without any Loeb-insanity.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, I thought it was okay too. Wonder who they're fighting. Shapeshifter that can duplicate powers too. Composite Man?

 

[Hush]

It was rather interesting, but I do not like the artist cpae for Batman. Nitpick yes but its just that annoying.

 

[The Leaguer]

I was overjoyed when they accounted for the change made to J'onn's weakness in Trial by Fire.

 

[Savage]

Okay can someone explain the climax to me? This is the first time that I've ever been so confused by a comic. What I got was this was Pre-Crisis Joker screwing around with his Myx powers he had for a while and this story was supposed to provide some kind of explaination as to why Bat-Mite and the Composite Batman Superman came into existance and I'm not even sure of that. So it would be nice if someone could just explain the entire thing to me.

Great story but I got a headache. It started out so simple.

 

[Purple Man]

This was Jeph Loebs love letter to the zany stories of the past. Kind of like what Grant Morrison is doing with All Star Superman.

Loeb knew about Infinite Crisis and new Earth and all that so they let him do some messed up stuff.

Try not to let the story hurt your brain too much.

I'm sorry for not having any real explanations to give.

The story is completely out of continuity and was just meant for fun. Which it really was.

 

[The Question]

Basically, a ways back, The Joker stole Mxy's powers. Mxy got them back, but a little bit remained inside The Joker. Mxy couldn't just take the power from him. Rules are, The Joker has to give it up willingly. So, they entered a sort of bet. The Joker created a false world (the world of the Maximums), and pitted them against Batman, Superman, and other characters. Mxy came out the victor, and freed the power from The Joker. That power came to life and became Bat-Mite.

 

[Darthphere]

I really liked #28. And yes im bumping old threads.

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, I thought it was okay too. Wonder who they're fighting. Shapeshifter that can duplicate powers too. Composite Man?

The real Parasite? He fits that description.

I dunno. I skimmed through the book in the store, but I haven't fully read it yet.

 

[Knives122]

I really liked #28. And yes im bumping old threads.

Which one was 28, the Superboy/Robin one with Toyman?

 

[Green Lantern]

That was 26, 28 was the first issue of the new arc

 

[Lex Luthor]

Issue 27 had one of the best covers so far.

 

[Darthphere]

Superman/Batman #28 LOL! A fairly normal issue by S/B standards as Verheiden and Van Sciver do a pretty good job playing it straight. It seems something is wrong in the DCu as villains once forgotten start showing up and Superman and Batman find the cause. A personal fan of Loeb's run (one of few) I liked the return to some normalcy and im looking forward to see what transpires in this run. 8/10,

 

[Bullseye]

I'm tempted on dropping Superman/Batman. I enjoyed S/B #27, so I decided to see what S/B #28 would do. Perhaps I give it a little more time.

I really wish Loeb didn't comit to Marvel. I enjoy Loeb's writing, but he should only write Kryptonians and The Batman.

 

[regwec]

I think that Loeb is past his use-by date.

 

[Darthphere]

Thats pretty harsh, considering hes not even on the book anymore.

 

[regwec]

But he's still alive.

 

[Darthphere]

Jeph Loeb wrote The Long Halloween, Daredevil Yellow, Spider-Man Blue, Hulk Grey, Batman Hush, SUperman for All Seasons, I can take a bad title here and there from him.
