I am ready for issue #3, and issue #4. The wait will kill you…or it may give you a visor headache! At any rate, you have time to add this pivotal issue to your collection. Seeing Shazam in this light is going to turn heads! And seeing the last frame of the comic…this version of the World's Finest! DC is not going to be the same! Read Full Review

It's a great read that only feels too short. But that is okay. I just want the next issue as soon as humanly possible. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman has lived up to the hype so far and has been an exceptional story as DC continues building up The Infected event. Read Full Review

David Marquez has some impressive and well done art in this issue. The fight with Shazam looks amazing and the all of the action has some beautiful, dramatic character renderings throughout. Read Full Review

Because of solicits, the mystery of this book and the questioning of who the Secret Six are is diminished, but thankfully, theres enough here to keep you engaged. Watching fan favorites slowly become unhinged is something I love reading, especially with how great the Batman Who Laughs has been. As long as David Marquez and Williamson keep up the quality work, this story will be one for the ages! Read Full Review

Visually stunning art with a gripping high-stakes story involving two of the greatest heroes of all time...what more could you want?  Read Full Review

The Shazam Who Laughs takes on the World's Finest as the BWL's plan begins to take shape. Read Full Review

The second issue of this mini-series is turning out well if you ask me. Between the art and the plot, they certainly lend themselves to each other to make a very interesting book. Read Full Review

Excellent writing, good characters and great artwork make the Batman/Superman series one of the best titles available at the moment. Read Full Review

It's very clear that this is a dangerous game. With five other heroes out there as ticking time bombs, Batman and Superman have to keep this quiet. You know how secrets like this tend to go, right? It's what has to be done since they can't trust anyone. They could be playing right into the Batman Who Laughs' hands. This leads to some desperate measures from the heroes. You have to wonder how far the World's Finest are willing to take this. It could push them past the point of no return. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman (2019-) #2is a thrilling read that successfully raises the stakes and builds on what was established in the debut. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman #2 is a fantastic second issue. The cynicism for the concept has gone away. It's a ride I'm completely strapped in for. It hits the key beats perfectly delivering on expectations but doing so effortlessly and with a hell of a lot of fun. Read Full Review

The second issue of Batman/Superman is a quick read, zooming from one set piece to another like Batman stealing his nemesis plane. Fans of widescreen, brainless superhero action could do worse than to pick up this book. Read Full Review

The visual at the end seems familiar " probably because Scott Snyder did it it in his most iconic storyarc " but the suspense and visuals are top-notch as this book continues to serve as a spine for the upcoming Hell Arisen event. Read Full Review

This issue continues the work that the creative has put in the first issue and advances the story enough that I'm intrigued to see who this new Secret Six is going to be (while trying to avoid the spoilers on the news sites). Read Full Review

Some lines and plot developments miss the mark a bit, but overall this is a rollicking good time with two iconic heroes, and we're looking forward to what the future holds. Read Full Review

Though Batman/Superman #2 didn't fully hold my attention storywise until the end, I did enjoy the overall read. The visuals once again are outstanding. Marquez and Snchez make a great team and I cannot wait to see Marquez work on other DC characters. Williamson sets up a nice twist for the next issue and ongoing that has me anticipating the next issue. Read Full Review

The funniest part of the issue was when Bruce reads Kryptonian and Clark is surprised. He is Batman, of course, he knows Kryptonian. Read Full Review

Stronger than it's first issue, by lacing character interaction front and centre, "Batman/Superman" #2 is well worth your attention. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman #2 successfully builds on the foundation created by the first issue. The focus on Shazam Who Laughs puts over the full heel turn the character takes. The turn for Shazam further spotlights how deep into the rabbit hole Batman and Superman have found themselves in when it comes to dealing with Batman Who Laughs. The actions Batman and Superman are forced to take create a lot of intriguing possible directions for this series to take in future issues. Read Full Review

The fight promised at the end of #1 is here in full force, and thanks to artist Dave Marquez it looks incredible. Read Full Review

A by-the-numbers fight that went on too long for what little we got out of it.  I am still somewhat intrigued to see what's up with this Infected story but after these first two issues and DC's ridiculous decision to announce the Infected Six before issue one even came out, my excitement level is dangerously low.  I hope things pick up soon because right now, I can't recommend this book. Read Full Review

This issue truly is entertaining and it has beautiful art, but the writing isn't entirely up to par. At times, the dialogue is clunky, the characterization iffy and some of the plot beats underdeveloped. There is also still no mention of the Secret Six and so far this arc doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Secret Six. All in all, this series has a rocky start, but I'm optimistic: the cliffhanger has a lot of potential and with this only being the second issue, the creative team still has time to course correct. I recommend that you wait and see how the reviews are for the next issue, though. Read Full Review

Shazam is strong but infected he seems much more lethal. Batman and Superman work very well together and the ending with Superman working undercover was fantastic! Two of the infected have been spoiled by DC after Shazam was already spoiled so that makes two left who we have no idea about.

Love this. Strangely I think this might be the best use of the Dark Multiverse since Metal, and I love Batman and Superman teaming up. Best pair in comics.

Prelude: The first issue did a great job setting up this new series. Now, I can only hope Williamson continues this going forward. The Good: Loved King Shazam throughout the issue. The threat of the Batman who Laughs is present and really strong. Even when you know who the Infected are, this threat still feels challenging and overwhelming for our heroes. That cliffhanger as well... damn that was great. Also liked the character work in this issue. It's the World's Finest and they work exactly as they should with each other. The Bad: Yeah, there really isn't any is there? Conclusion: A great issue with really no negatives. Has to get a 9/10 though due to what I've decided gets a 9.5 or 10.

Issue #2 may feel a bit more disjointed than the debut but it's still a very solid and tense read, one that I definitely recommend giving a chance. It doesn't waste any time to progress the story, but also has time to offer us some action scenes in between important exposition. What is Batman Who Laughs planning, exactly? What does he want to do? I mean, other than what DC revealed to us so far, incluing the roster of his heroes-turned-villains, which I think should have been kep a secret. I dig the series so far, and if it keeps its current quality, it's going to be one more TP I gotta purchase and display on my shelf.

Pretty cool they have the money to blow on building billion-dollar prisons and then just tearing them up whenever they want.

I don't like some of the dialogue here, and the story kind of gets lost eventually. But overall, I still liked it.

"The jet was just the delivery method punk... I'M ALWAYS THE WEAPON!" - Batman Fun issue, but my one problem is that this series doesn't really stand on it's own without the context of its predecessors (Metal, Justice League, TBWL). It just feels like a glorified prelude to "YOTV: Hell Arisen", which is gonna be the real deal. I would love to see that Batman Who Laughs vs Superboy Prime fight though.

THE GOOD: -This was okay. Not sure if I'm still gonna read this one. -The art's… good enough. I'm not in love with it like others. It can be a bit stiff, but the colors are great. -Okay, I'm starting to get interested in Gordon's story. -I do like the idea with the six batarangs. I like the potential of where it could lead for the rest of this story arc. THE BAD: -I dunno. The fight scene that took up the bulk of the book just bored me. It was nothing new and went on too long. -With a couple exceptions. I didn't find either of the title characters very interesting. -Shazam Who Laughs had a great design, but they didn't really take him anywhere interesting.

I hate everything about the Batman Who Laughs and now the other heroes who laugh, but I will say that this issue had some nice art and the story wasn't awful.
