Batman/Superman, Volume 2: Game Over
by Greg Pak
I'll be honest this was looking to go down as really bad. The first arc was by far the worse. It starts off with people playing video games, but instead of games, they put these nano robot thingys inside superman, batman, and so on to control them as video game characters. Once past that we have a kind of cool story where Moguel (think that's how spell it) son comes to earth but instead of destroying it wants to battle for the right. So Superman/Supergirl/Steel and Batman/Batgirl/Redhood team up but instead have to fight each other. It's a fun little team up and something different.
We then have a arc about Superman and Batman dealing with Earth 2 Kara (Powergirl) and Batman's daughter who is Huntress in that Earth. They must face off against the undercover bad guy who is preparing to open a portal of sorts to the world where the old superman/batman were in Volume 1.
What I liked: Really enjoyed the arc with the battle royal. Some really fun fights, solid arts, and quick paced storyline (think just two issues). I also dug the whole earth 2 connection again. It was so cool to watch Batman and his daughter from another reality team up. Def a highlight. Also this Superman/Batman still not trusting each other 100% is compelling and interesting compared to the old ways.
What I didn't like: The first arc was really awful. Sadly it takes up like 1/3rd of the book too. This almost made me not want to continue. Also the ending of the book was kind of mehish and very superheroish.
Overall another fun volume. I just really dig Superman/Batman together. They're funny and their distrust makes for some really interesting moments. I would recommend this to fans of both to try it out.
