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.

First things first.
I am not a gigantic comics fan. I've never been to a comic book shop. I know the big names. Basically, if they had a live action TV show, I know them.
So, my opinion is not as well-informed as that of some.
Superman has always been of limited interest to me. He can't be hurt (technically, I know he can but who has Kryptonite sitting around?), he has the tools to deal with any situation. He has a healthy psyche. Good guy to have on your side but not particularly interesting. Batman, on the other hand, he oozes character exploration opportunities.
Surprisingly, Loeb and company have made Superman very interesting, by looking at him through the prism of Batman, and also by seeing Batman through Superman's eyes. Their chosen format of having dueling interior thought lines from Batman and Superman offer the reader an interesting opportunity to see these tried and true characters anew.
This was a fun plotline - an interesting and entertaining read. The choice to use the TV show Batmobile was great, since it was by far the coolest of the bunch. There are lots of inside jokes, such as having lines lifted from the various TV shows and movies that have featured Batman and Superman.
Highly recommended.

Superman and Batman finally think they have enough to remove President Lex Luthor from power. He does have enough clout though to order some of their allies into the field against them.
This requires some clever tactics and use of cunning and some recruited aid of their own to get through it, and bring old baldy down.

This is a great series. The art is clean. Jeph Loeb keeps true to the essense of the characters and takes them seriously. Definitely worth reading multipe times.
