The plot of this story isn't all that great, it doesn't break any new ground or is even that original, but the characterization of both Superman and Batman, especially in their thought boxes, are spectacularly unique. The way they play off each other and practically finish each others thoughts is something that has been imitated since with nowhere near the insight as the original. McGuiness' art is, as always, cartoonishly appropriate.

Illustrated by Ed McGuinness and written by Jeph Loeb, this volume collects the first six issues of the Superman/Batman comic book. This book is like a throwback to the team-ups of yesteryear such as World's Finest. Highly enjoyable!

Superman and Batman is there a better pairing in comics? I don't think so and this is exactly why I think it. Superman and Batman are just perfect foils for each other. Batman the paranoid pessimist, Superman the over trusting optimist. I could go on but, I'm not going to the two just fit together. The story is solid with several different characters from across the board heroes and villains both making appearances throughout. Art isn't the best you will ever see but, it's not too bad. I recommand to anyone who likes either of the characters.

PLEASE!!! So mediocre, just a lot of whining and pining. Loeb was great with Long Halloween, etc. But this is drivel. Gets a second star for the art.

I don't even know where to begin to talk about this collection. First, I love Batman, he's one of my favorite character, and if handled properly, Superman can be complex and interesting too. Luckily, Jeph Loeb (who redefined Batman's early years) wrote it. He's got to be one of the great writers in the comic book world. For someone like myself who has been out of the DC universe for a while, there are some questions, like how did Luthor become president, and so on. But, even without the background information, this is a great tale.
