Since the 1930s popular heroes like Superman and Batman have appeared monthly but somehow time never really passes. There are changes over time but the basic concepts remain the same and the characters never age.
In the late 90s John Byrne asked what if time did pass? What if Superman and Batman aged normally? What if they were near retirement age in the 60s and their heirs had to take over.

This is one of the most innovative & noteworthy projects by Byrne since his various '80s works.
I *really* like this, even though the art style is a bit more sketchy than I'd like. He tracks the families of both Superman & Batman in real time, from their earliest years to old age.

This comic has got to be one of the best I've ever read! John Byrne is a genius! The storytelling is excellent and the very concept of the different eras and drawing the characters accordingly was a Brilliant idea. Anyone who likes the new Superman Batman crossover series should definitely add this piece to their collection!

A fun romp through the generations : a look at some what ifs, if the Kent and Wayne families were more closely linked.
The Bat-Mite Mxyzptlk team up is a classic. A lot of fun. Very nice work by Byrne here. This is very much in the vein of the Impossible Man stories, at Marvel, or Fantastic Four type work that Byrne put together on that run.

I love John Byrne's take on the possible progression of the Batman/Superman legacy. It was interesting to see the different time periods and the children of the 2 icons. I found it amusing that we never see the face of Batman's spouse, which leaves us to speculate which woman finally got Bruce to settle down.
A good, fun read.
