It was a decent read but the art work was a little weird and the story telling gets a little confusing at times.
I got through it and it wasnt all that bad but I wish I spent my time and money on reading something else. The story certainly gets interesting towards the middle and I enjoyed the Darkseid story in the end but it wasn't all that great.Not a big fan of the artwork at times (a superman wearing a t shirt?) and the story telling gets confusing. If you are looking for something different, a little more obscure than most but familiar then you should pick this up. It's not a bad read by any means. I was just hoping for something different.

A good, solid reimagining of the first meeting of Batman and Superman. While I didn't like every change DC made to their characters' early days, Greg Pak made this one fun and entertaining. Foreshadowing Earth 2 and Darkseid was a nice bonus.

This was a great intro to one of the batman/superman story arches. The art is fantastic and the plot isn't too shabby either. Honestly, I'd buy it for the art alone! But the story line is captivating enough I want to get the second one as well! This is another great one to add to the collection.

I like this. Clearly this is the beginning of an ongoing: there is a lot of exposition here and the stage is being set, but while the story takes a while to unfold and make sense, and is clearly foreshadowing events to come, with a little patience and persistence, it becomes increasingly clear where we are heading. There is a good deal of emotional heft to the younger/older SM and BM meetings,most specifically in the art.
And the artwork here is terrific. Lee's work on these stories is quite subtle and remarkably expressive. Kinda worth the price of admission on its own.
Only caveat and complaint here is the final story, from the JLA. While I understand the need, or at least desire, to include it to A) pad out the page count, B) present the exposition for the next issues, and C) it does fit here from a narrative standpoint, the juxtaposition of the bombastic, almost lurid artwork with the rest of the book is quite jarring and kind of like getting slapped in the face while meditating (or some such contemplative activity as you might engage in). It feels tacked on, despite it's stage-setting.
Overall, though, a fine experience and I look forward to Vol. 2

Great story and wonderful art from lee...the premise of the story is basically the younger versions of batman and superman are transported into a different reality in which they confront older versions of them....the cherry in top was the darkseid story from his origin to him finding new 52 justice league

This was a gift for my son at Christmas and he really liked it. He's 34 years old and when he was little till now he collects everything of batman.

Really good story line. Pretty sure Batman V Superman drew some of its inspirations from this story line.
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2015
I've never worried too much about the art work in comics, but it was so bad here, that I could barely understand who is who and what is happening. Each panel was so dark and the characters were all drawn at weird angles in a way that made it difficult to distinguish Batman from Superman. Then you realize a little further down the road that there are two Batmans and two Supermans and have to learn how to distinguish them as well. The main thing that I like in a comic is the plot and how it's told. Normally I would have overlooked all the unpleasant art work in a heartbeat if it were a good story. Unfortunately it was just bland. Nothing remotely interesting or clever happened. I really wanted to like this comic, but I have to give it one star.

Fantastic Book
Reviewed in India on June 5, 2018
This one is a fantastic book. So well written and edited and illustrated that almost at every turn of a page you find something surprising. Never are you bored. Also the name of the book too is so apt and you realize it along the way, layer by layer the meaning broadens. It has a very powerful nemesis who's motives are revealed very carefully to keep the impact. I will not spoil the story line. Just grab and read it. I loved it.

Il s'agit la d'une très bonne lecture ! L'histoire est sympathique. Mais ce qui fait réellement la force de cet ouvrage, c'est son style. On trouve un jeu de couleurs intéressant et de très bonnes idées.

Here We Go Again!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2014
As a huge Superman and Batman fan, I read all the original volumes and loved every page. So when DC announced the New 52 reboot of the series, I jumped for joy!
When this arrived in the post I went straight into my garden and read the entire thing (bearing in mind it's not that long). But what it lacks in length it more than makes up for in style.
The story is (some say) another universe hopping plot. But I say, that's just classic Batman/Superman entertainment. The amazing internal monologue of Bruce and Clark has also made a miraculous return in the way their thoughts of each other show just how they really are the world's finest. The art work is different but it works so well.
All in all it feels familiar yet has a fresh take on the classic and awesome relationship of the red and black caped heroes.
