Batman/Superman #1 Captures the Best of Both Worlds
When DC launched Superman/Batman back in 2003, the series' appeal couldn't be simpler. DC's biggest creators working with the company's two most iconic heroes, all on a series built around the widescreen action approach that was so popular at the time. For various reasons, that appeal never fully translated over to 2013's Batman/Superman. But with the launch of a new volume of Batman/Superman, DC does a far better job of recapturing that old magic. Superstar creators plus iconic heroes plus a dastardly villain equals a strong debut issue.
Batman/Superman builds directly on the foundation of Dark Nights: Metal and The Batman Who Laughs, with the series pitting the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel against a nemesis who has all the most formidable traits of Batman and the Joker. And lest readers accuse the Batman Who Laughs of being well below Superman's pay grade, this series also introduces "The Infected," a group of DC heroes who have been secretly corrupted by this demented villain.
