Batman / Superman: World's Finest #44

I seriously laughed out loud at this final scene, the perfect ending to a near perfect issue! Waid writes a great Robin and Supergirl, especially these younger versions. And Meyer just shines! DC ... put him on more books! Read Full Review

The writing is solid enough that one could certainly be forgiven for wanting a regular series featuring the two characters. The writing team has defined a really clever dynamic between the two of them. That seems to work quite well as a buddy action thing that could also lead to romance. Neither one of them is more capable or confident than the other. They're both characterized as being somewhat and experienced, but also very capable and very powerful in their own right. It's a fun dynamic that would work really well for a variety of different dynamics. All too often young superheroes aren't given enough room to grow. They're essentially just superheroes who happen to be a little younger. It's nice to see a situation where they still have a lot to learn and a lot to learn from and about each other. It's fun.

This is the kind of story that really shouldn't work, especially given that Dick and Kara never really had much of a relationship in any continuity for good or bad before, but the way it plays out is so funny that it's quickly become one of the biggest highlights of this series. More of these two in this book, please. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #44 is another in a long line of homeruns for this series. The "substitute" World's Finest team (and new co-writer) inject a healthy dose of humor into this done-in-one tale that would otherwise just be a cool action story, with Batman and Superman playing a support role. The outstanding art just adds to the overall enjoyment. Read Full Review

Meyer delivers fun, visually thrilling and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the visuals and character designs. Read Full Review

Despite all the chaos, the issue captures the charmingly antagonistic chemistry between the two sidekicks, who, even while denying they are dating, make a surprisingly effective (and very funny) team. For any fan who loves the lighter side of the DC Universe, the hilarious clashes and clever capers make Batman/Superman: World's Finest #44 the perfect palate cleanser. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #44 delivers another strong entry in a consistently stellar series. The writing is sharp and heartfelt, and the art and colors bring things up a level in excitement. Altogether, its another reminder of why Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest continues to stand out as one of DCs best books out today. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #44 is good, humorous energy set to a normal day in the life of superheroes. Call it a canon or head canon, whatever Robin and Supergirl have going on here is very appealing. Read Full Review

I just love this dynamic. Sure. It's full of cliches. But it just works.

It's official. Dick Grayson has the best game in all of fiction. Which makes sense since he learned from Bruce Wayne. Overall, I like the stand-alone issue. It's cliche but it's executed well thanks to Mark Waid and Mark Russell. Also Lucas Meyer art is a stand-out as usual

This issue was tons of fun and was not only the first issue with Mark Russell involved that I've ever enjoyed let alone been able to tolerate. He still couldn't help himself repeating some bag gags that fell flat but all in all this was the fun one off this series needed after running stale of late.

Good, not great, standalone Supergirl/Robin team-up sequel that, while fun and beautifully drawn, doesn’t hit the dazzling heights of their first team-up from a few years back.
