scans_dailyIt’s the early days when Batman and Superman were at the start of their careers and had never met (it’s still not clear how this story will jive with what we saw in Justice League #1). Clark is in Gotham to cover a story and he must confront Bruce Wayne to get the answers he needs. The inquiry alerts Bruce to a possible conspiracy which will lead him back to Metropolis.
A security system that starts up a bunch of robots that burst from the floor, someone has been killing Wayne employees in Metropolis and it might have been Catwoman, who is possessed by a ghost/demon/thing.
I did lol that Batman throwing down a refrigerator and stove down on Superman down below.
Superman and Batman gets transported to earth 2 afterwards.
A confuse Superman meet earth 2 Batman in smallville and thinks it's the same one he was fighting moments ago. This Batman have a kryptonite shield that weakens Superman. Earth 2 Batman mentions that Superman give the kryptonite to him as a safeguard protection in case Superman ever goes bad. Earth 2 Batman then ask why Superman dressing and acting so differently.
Superman mention since he got no power at the moment that he is free to go all out to beat the crap out of earth 2 Batman. He proceed to do so and about to finish the final blow to knock him out when somebody unexpected shows up.
32 pages.

Superman's douchebro-looking jeans and t-shirt outfit though. Why DC, whyyyy

Ugh, I swear t-shirt + cape combo makes Superman look like a kid playing dress-up or something.

Date: 2013-06-28 05:09 am (UTC)Superman comes in, and he sees a big guy dressed in a scary costume, a bunch of killer robots, and a father and child scared out of their wits. I think it's fair to say that Supes made an assumption.
I don't know if bloodthirsty's quite the right word, but it fits with how Morrison wrote him during this period in Action. This was from a time when he thought he could change the world just by throwing his weight around and hurting the people who bully and abuse others.

Date: 2013-06-27 04:49 pm (UTC)Clark seems awfully punch happy here though, he doesn't even seem to question why Batman looks different or realize that he's not on his own Earth. I know it's par for the course, but I really feel like Superman of all people should be willing to talk before going straight to the punching, even if he is inexperienced.
And now that I think about the Earth 2 connection, I kinda wish this were a Trinity book. It'd be funny to see Earth 2 Supes and Wondy dismiss a romantic relationship as silly.
