The official SUPERMAN/BATMAN discussion thread

Maybe that's why the series hasn't worked. Too many homoerotic undertones.

More like not enough!

I really enjoyed his run and I'm wondering if the latest stories have been as good as the stuff he cranked out.

Well the first arc was not bad but I keep thinking that it would have been necessary to make more than only 6 poor issues about the fall of Lex Luthor. I think The big big fall of Lex Luthor need more than that, especially since he was defeated by Superman and Batman.
The rest of the comicbook was just meh for me. And it became unbearable with Verheiden's story (ught it at first because I liked Verheiden on Superman) and the last ones. Now I've taken a new interest in this book because of Alan Burnett. I really hope it will be good. The first issue was not bad.

verheiden is gone. the past two issues have had a new creative team, and they've been pretty good!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Alan Burnett and Dustin Nguyen.

Honestly, I've been disappointed so far. I've seen better from Dustin and the story really isn't catching me.

Jeph Loeb is a sh**ty writer, it's a damn shame he teams up with such good artists, otherwise I would never read his sh**

John Corben possibly being Bruce Wayne's parents' killer?
F**king please....

Seriously guys, let it go, this title is only as good as it's artists, and barely that...

It's already established who killed Bruce's parents unfortunately.

And again, Jeph Loeb hasn't been on for like the last 12 issues.

i dunno, for whatever reason im digging it. not in a huge way, its just enjoyable. or maybe thats only because verheiden was so bad, this seems much easier to swallow.

Joe Chilton?

 

[Mee]

The KKK.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Batman's parents were black?

 

[Mee]

They had soul.

Loeb's run went from great (Public Enemies) to entertaining-as-long-as-you-don't-stop-to-think-about-it (Supergirl) to terrible (Absolute Power) to pretty good (Vengeance). Since then, it went from boring (Verheiden's first story) to weak (current story).

This sums up the book perfectly if you ask me.

 

[CLARKY]

I'm currently reading the Alan Burnett's story and I find it more enjoyable than the last issues, for now. I'm not sure about the story yet but I like how he depicted Batman and Superman. Nevertheless, I do have difficulties with the art!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm just glad that Superman Returns rehash with the self-replicating Kryptonite was just a dream.

Did anyone get Superman/Batman #50?

Hot damn, that issue had some good art. I always love when this title explores the relationship between Clark and Bruce, and I enjoyed the latest issue. The story itself was, I suppose, handled as well as one could have hoped for, but that doesn't mean it should have been done. I mean, come on, Jor-El and Thomas Wayne meeting before their sons were born feels about as forced as something can. I enjoy when little connections are made between character's origins or what have you, but this is pushing it. I had the same reaction I did when I saw that Harley Quinn and the Joker met before either of them took up their villain identities in the Joker Origin arc from Batman Confidential. "Oh, come on! Really?"

But the best thing about the issue, by far, was the art. Fantastic job all around, especially that stunning last page of the issue.

This book has been overwhelmingly good since these guys first took over. It's been one of the only DC books I've been able to pick up without any doubt in my mind about how good it's going to be.

 

[steelio2006]

i'm bout to start pickin up Superman/Batman again. i got a couple of issues from the Darkseid arc before but that was it. i usually just wait till paperbacks.

 

[Hush]

Yeah this past issue was friggin awesome! I loved it, I would encourage this book to ANYONE!

Yeah I had the same problem. As much as I enjoyed the story, I couldn't help but feel the story should of never been done to begin with. It really takes away any free will these characters have and makes it so that everything is pretty much destined to happen.

I understand the purpose of the story. To illustrate just how close Clark and Bruce are and at the same time, how far apart they are. But it doesn't mean they needed to actually do the story.

 

[Pluto]

yah!

 

[Hush]

Issue 51 was not nearly as ridiculous as I thought it was going to be, friggin good issue.

 

[BrianWilly]

It was ****ing awesome.

 

[The Eagle Host]

God almighty, every month I swear this book can't get any better and every month I'm proven wrong.

 

[Hush]

I mean who thought that a story about a whole bunch of Mini-heroes would be so awesome! and was anybody else laughing there ass off?
