drive-by readings: Superman/Batman #63

Superman/Batman #63 (DC) "Night and Day" Michael Green Mike Johnson Rafael Albuquerque David Baron Rob Leigh

we've had Villains taking over the world before and we've had villains taking over the world before. Mike & Mike (Green & Johnson) kept me engaged throughout this scary new 'one world under Grodd', and THEN threw me a curveball. nice one. actually, this scenario is intriguing enough probably for a JLA storyline or the next summer crossover. or maybe its too simple. sigh. anyway, for Bruce Wayne fans, this is the only comic now where you'll still see your favorite playboy detective. and he's still the man with the plan. and the man who rarely eats dinner. i don't how Alfred puts up with that crap.

i don't think this is a good idea.

mashups, just for the sake of being mashups, sound lazy. maybe it was fun in the '90s, but no one's laughing now. well, maybe some. at the ridiculousness of it all.

Dick hitting on a bigger dick

ok, ok, the title was way out of line ...

a souped-up, or should we say Suped-up Batman lets the power get to his head, a cliche as he likens it, and goes wild in the dispensing of justice in the world. everything's black and white, when he used to operate in shades of gray.

and he gets a boot in his smug face courtesy of his former ward.

of course, Dick only gets so far before The SuperBat administers a beatdown worthy of Chris Brown (k-ching!).


by the way, isn't it when you say "pick someone your own size", it means you're on equal terms with the person you're saying it to, because that person was bullying somebody smaller?

if so, Dick is wrong because Bruce is a bigger dick than him. am i right or am i right?


quitting the lame comedy routine now ...

power trip

cliffhangers of the week!

i think before i even turned the page, i knew who the hell was messing with their minds.



and for our second cliffhanger, its nice to see the Bat powered for a change (which means the outcome is still the same: a Superman beatdown).
