Bruce and Clark have been working together for years now but the menace of the Batman who Laughs will force them to change their dynamic and be prepared for the worst.
A new series featuring this classic team-up begins. I have mentioned this in the past but I wasn't particularly a fan of the last Batman/Superman series written by Greg Pak, not really because it was badly written but because it could be pretty inconsistent with ups and downs in quality. Now however, this is handled by Joshua Williamson who does have a much more consistent track record and I'm happy to say that he doesn't disappoint.
The story is centered around the danger of the Dark Multiverse and the Batman who Laughs and if I had a complaint that would be it since both of them are derivative and overused concepts by Scott Snyder and I wish they would have stayed away once that the Metal event concluded. That being said, Williamson implements them in a way that makes them more tolerable since he presents them as an excuse to showcase the interaction between Superman and Batman and thankfully he nails it.
Williamson portrays both protagonists in a logical way based on the years they have known each other, they know how each other think, they know what their personalities are, but even better are the conversations between the two since all of their lines represent their own characters perfectly without being too blunt. Is good character work.
The issue also ends in a solid cliffhanger and is pretty fitting for the theme of the book.
David Marquez handles the art and is good looking with an immensely expressive style and precise storytelling.
Promising beginning, can't wait for the next one.
