Batman/The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition by Joshua Williamson, Tom King
4.0

This was a fun little crossover event. First off we get Batman and The Flash teaming up. Second off I didn't like Watchmen the graphic novel when I read it back in high School. I might try again but I dunno, too dark for me. Yet I'm actually excited to see them crossover into DC Universe. It's exciting and fun IMO.

What I liked: The art. Well, some of it felt odd yet some of it looked great. The coloring especially was really nice. I also loved seeing banter between flash and bruce since they're so smart. I liked the opening gets you right in to it. A beat-down from reverse flash to get things started and then the events right after sure starts with a bang. Also loved seeing some of the flashpoint characters return even for a moment. The ending leaves us open for a big cliffhanger and I'm pretty pumped.

What I didn't like: The art sometimes felt static. Like placed in it wrong. Also the last issue felt kind of "okayish" except for the last panel. It didn't have the excitement of the other issues.

I overall had a good time reading this short little crossover. It hit the marks of fun and I hope for more small events like this. A solid 4/5.
