    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Jun 20, 2023

    Batman Superman is DC's best comic going today. There's some tough competition now, but no comic has the mix of action, classic portrayals of heroes and gorgeous artwork. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jun 21, 2023

    Waid, Mora, and Bonvillain tell a solidly entertaining narrative in another fun issue of a popular series. Its too bad that there isnt a more balanced story being placed on the page. Heroes in peril help out other heroes in peril as AI looks to take over. Theres a lot of action moving around the page. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jun 20, 2023

    Batman / Superman: World's Finest #16 puts Batman in the driver's seat to free Superman and their fellow captives to begin pushing back on Newmazo's genocidal plan. The story is an exciting adventure from start to finish, and Dan Mora's art is Amazo-ing. (Yes, that's terrible, and I don't even care). Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jun 20, 2023

    It's just a good, old-school superhero adventure that wouldn't be out of place in any era of DC Comics, and it shows Waid and Mora's love for some of the more obscure characters. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Jun 20, 2023

    Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest is sixteen issues in and shows no sign of diminishing returns. This is the penultimate issue of this arc, so readers are in for a treat for the next issue. This issue contained a lot of fun moments and still set things up for what should be an incredible climax to the arc. Plus, the number of iconic characters in this issue looking this spectacular is quite a feat and a testament to the creative teams talents and passion for the material. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Casper Rudolph Jun 20, 2023

    The art is kinetic and executed at a very high level, but some of the panels and pages can be a bit crowded at times. The writing is solid, but the sense of danger diminishes when we have multiple overpowered heroes showing up to save the day. But, while this isn't the strongest chapter of this arc, it's still a ton of fun and I recommend it! Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Jun 23, 2023

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #16 has a masterful start that misses the landing by the issue's end, creating an enjoyable, pulpy scifi extravaganza that suffers from a little bit of uneven plotting. Read Full Review
