Will Superman be defeated by XBox Live? I felt like I should pop some popcorn for this story. It is a wild fight-filled issue, layered with video game overtones, and shown in wide-screen format. It is a Michael Bay sort of story. And every so often, that is just fine. It isn't the first arc of this title. It isn't what is happening in Action Comics. But it is entertaining. And that is all I really ask for. Read Full Review

We all know " sort of " that Bruce isn't dead. Or, at least, won't stay that way? But android-alien-whatever-he-is Bruce is pretty awesome. I honestly have no idea how this arc is going to end, and I kind of love that fact! Read Full Review

Let the popcorn begin.  Taking our heroes in this fun direction is something that has been needed for a long time.  Usually all we seem to get anymore is darkness, and misery.  Luckily Greg Pak has brought us out of our depression with this alien invasion, technology's evil plot.  Booth's artwork is impressive as usual, and the combination of this team just translates to a good time.  Can't wait to see how our heroes will get out of this one.  So check it out, and I'll see you next month.

Great story. Entertaining battles. Believable reasons to bring Superman and Batman together. The only thing this arc lacks is FEET! Dammit! Read Full Review

The second issue of BATMAN/SUPERMAN's latest story arc is a great dose of popcorn entertainment. "Boss Fight" is definitely an appropriate name for this issue because it's basically one big ol' brawl between powerhouses. Seriously, if you want to just sit back and appreciate some solid looking chaos, then this is well worth your attention. Read Full Review

In the end the story in Batman/Superman #6 won't have much impact outside its entertainment value. Fans won't be any more shocked, outraged, or disappointed than they were before this comic came out. And the breadth of this story is limited, as is the case with all satire. But it does make for a novel plot from a novel perspective. In an era where everything is a reboot, remake, or sequel, that goes a long ways towards making this story uniquely enjoyable. Read Full Review

The enjoyment you'll find in this issue depends on how open you are to bat-shit-insanity, because it's a pretty ridiculous and out there concept. While part of me can't take this arc too seriously, or believe it'll have any sort of lasting effect on either Batman or Superman, I do enjoy it for how crazy it gets. If you're like me, but even more hardcore and everything needs to be serious business all the time, then you'll probably not enjoy this that much, but hey, this is a story that definitely aims for a specific tone and not everyone's going to like that. On the other hand, if you love video games, and you love the idea of MechaBatman and Superman fighting, then this is probably right up your alley, so grab some Mountain Dew and Doritos and unlock some achievements.

All in all if you already started reading the story arc you might as well finish it. It will get better soon with the crossover that is coming soon. Read Full Review

In all honesty, this entire story should probably be far dumber than it is actually turning out to be. All the credit in the world to Greg Pak for managing to write a superhero story wrapped in a video game wrapped in a superhero comic that makes any kind of sense at all and is even entertaining and interesting. I for one am certainly curious to see how things play out. Read Full Review

After a one issue dip, "Batman/Superman" is again on the rise in quality. Pak has de-cluttered the story to the point where it's mostly understandable, and given the ToyMaster a clearer goal. It's mostly a fight issue, but Pak's excellent use of character narration keeps it interesting. Booth's art is greatly improved after the last issue, with much more consistent character designs and normal looking faces. He makes great use of the wide cinematic scope, and it feels like Booth is ready to step up to the big leagues and pencil an A-list title. It doesn't quite reach the peaks of the first arc with Jae Lee, but "Batman/Superman" #6 proves it's not time to write off the series just yet. Read Full Review

The new creative team is finally showing the fruits of its labor in this issue. I can't wait to see where the story and images take us next! Read Full Review

Pak clearly has a point he wants to make with this gamer spin, and he's willing to trample over the integrity of the plot to do it. Booth's art does not make up for the shortcomings in the script, either; it's far too full of flash for that. Read Full Review

It's not as though this Batman/Superman arc is the worst story to feature either character on the stands right now. It's more that it revolves around a one-note premise that's been spread too thin. Read Full Review

I found it to be thoroughly mediocre. If you enjoyed issue #5 and are looking for over-the-top action then you'll probably like it, but otherwise I'd say skip it and wait for a better storyline. Read Full Review

With Pak's bullet train scripts coupled with Brett Booth's expressive pencils, DC should have a sure-fire hit on its hands, but it doesn't - not yet at least. Aiming to be more than an obvious team-up book, DC has taken a chance on a different kind of point of view with this arc of Batman/Superman and, with two issues in, its proven to be more of a hindrance than selling point. Its a shame because this issue was fun, but it was just too hard to look past the too tight and simplistic panel layout and cramped nature of the pencils. With only one more issue to get through until we get the normal format back, let's hope that the spark that was lit with #1-4 gets reignited. Read Full Review

Because of the previous story I'm still not quite sure if this is our normal New 52 world or another alternate universe. Regardless though, it's a bit of a boring story where a bunch of kids think they're playing the newest video game. Read Full Review

Until something drastic changes this book is not worth buying. Greg Pak is doing great work in some of the other places in the DC Universe, but lacks direction here. Brett Booth’s art does not make sense to me in the context of this title. Avoid this issue. Read Full Review
