Robin has
an ego, Jon Lane-Kent has powers. They’re the sons of Batman and Superman and
they get on like a house on fire. And by that, I mean the fight that would
inevitably ensue between them would leave the house on fire. And boy was it fun
to watch them play off each other. Superman did a 2-part story featuring the
both of them learning to get along, not extremely successfully, but it’s been
hinted since the beginning of Rebirth that they’d be getting a title between
them and here it is.
In the
writer’s seat is Peter Tomasi who already has experience writing both Robin
back from when he was writing Batman and Robin and Jon-Lane Kent from his
Superman title. He was the one who wrote the initial crossover, and instigated
the dynamic between them. In the art department we have Jorge Jiminez who has a
wide range of credits from DC, having done Arrow and Smallville Comics to Earth
2: Society and issues of Superboy and Superman.
Does the
gimmick wear or is this a new classic team-up? Let’s take a look at #1-4
