Jae Lee = Yes

BUT. Couldn't we just end the HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL Power Girl/Huntress Worlds' Finest and make World's Finest into Superman/Batman again?

Or they could have put this creative team onto that series.
BB

That's basically what I meant.

Just because you two dont like the series doesnt mean that others dont. Powergirl and huntress aint going anywhere.

So Mr.Pak takes on two icons this is good love Greg Pak's writing he'll do just fine. The World's Finest back together for the New 52 I can dig it.

Great. Just what we need. Another Batman comic book.

Same old recycled rubbish...would be nice if DC didn't always cancel 6 'independent' books and replace them with 4 new and 2 Batman books.

Yeah, at this rate there will be over 20 Bat books by the end of next year just in the new 52 (that's not even counting the 5 or so non-New 52 Bat titles). It's become pretty tedious.

Hey its Superman's 75th B-Day this year. Lets:
 
Instead of a Superman game, have a new Batman Arkaham game.
Let's make a game where Superman is evil and Batman the cool rebel hero. Lets add more wood to the Batman is cool/Superman sucks BS.
Let's have a new Batman title that just happens to have Superman in it.   >_> F*ck you DC.

This but if this replaces Batman Inc I will forgive them.

Wait, wait, wait, they changed the name from Superman/Batman to Batman/Superman. Well okay then.

As awesome as this sounds have they forgot that the first time the meet was in JL number 2 ?

Its only a matter of time before they change DC Comics to BS Comics, you know, for Batman & Superman.

It would be B&S.

OH you were TRYING to make a JOKE!

Try making it funny next time.

yawn

My sentiments exactly.

I just added JLA to my pull... And now this comes out. Wallet might be taking a hit this summer.

Four more new books left to be announced.

@Zeeguy91: I know, but it's not like DC is trying to promote those books that get the chop. Like, what has been advertised by DC lately? (thinking site banners)... DotF and JLA.

At times I feel like DC is just putting out some books so they can eventually cancel them and say they tried while replacing it with something they know will sell...like this book for instance.

As for Jae Lee on art...sry but I think it's a waste, he has already proved he does wonders on a Dark book like Phantom Stranger.

Well, I mean, its not as if they haven't been putting any energy at all into the C and D-listers either. I mean, when they could have launched a Martian Manhunter title in tandem with JLA, they instead chose to go with Katana and Vibe, both of which they've been promoting pretty heavily. Animal Man and Swamp Thing are still going strong. I, Vampire was around from the beginning of the New 52, and honestly, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Same thing with Captain Atom, which was around for a full year. They also still have Phantom Stranger, Dial H, Justice League Dark, Stormwatch, and All Star Western, none of which really star A-list DC players.

So, there is still a spotlight for minor characters, but of course they rely mostly on their big hitters for sales: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, GL, Flash....you get where I'm going. Its the same thing over at Marvel. How many Avengers books are there? Spider-Man related books? X-Men books? And of course that includes everyone's favorite feral beast, Wolverine.

I've been waiting for this. Looking forward to seeing clarifications on the past of the New52.

"Additionally, this series will reveal the first encounter between the two in New 52 history."

Didn't we already see that in the Johns/Lee Justice League opening arc?

That was my first thought too.... I thought Justice League was pretty clear that that was their first meeting.

Oh well, promising creative team, anyway.

Its saying that the series will take place within that 5-year time period between their first meeting in Justice League: Origin and the present of Justice League.

um, no, that's not what it's saying. the in the past part yeah, I get that. But It said it will 'reveal the first encounter' between them, to 'reveal' something means to show something that we haven't seen before, and it's referring specifically to them meeting. Which we've already seen.

You do realize that Gregg could be wrong about it "revealing the first encounter, right?" On the other hand, this could reveal their first encounter. That is, their first encounter outside of the Justice League, where it was just the two of them. Maybe this book takes place after the JL Origin arc and it goes into the first time that Superman and Batman worked together without the other League members and how they first established their famous bromance.

Seriously???

Excited to see this title come back!

Greg Pak and Jae Lee?

My wallet:

DC comics just loves finding new ways to take money from my wallet.

Why not another Trinity comic?

Jeph Loeb's Superman/Batman was fantastic and Greg Pak's Planet Hulk was even better so yes, this has me sold straight away.

Nit-pick: I thought they first met at the end of JL#1. They made it pretty clear at the time.

I actually liked what I read of the old Superman/Batman comic so this could be a good read if they keep that fun atmosphere.

About time we have a world's finest series !

I've never heard of them...but sounds good, I can't wait!!

:D

Oh we see !!!!!@@

AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!! Love the art alreadyyy

this is great news. I'm more psyched that Jae Lee is on the title. He doesn't do enough major characters. so happy happy happy

Yeah...Pak/Lee on Bats/Supes...I'm in.

Yes please. Looking forward to it.

This doesn't interest me, like at all.

And what Mercy said. Beat me to it.

Yes! Greg Pak is awesome and I've been wanting to read a Batman title for a while, making Batman and Superman perfect.

I would prefer it if it was called World's Finest though, Power Girl and Huntress' comic has been mediocre at best.

Yay another Batman Superman book. Im so glad because the original character and team books were pointless when DC only needs the Triad. /sarcasm

From the bit I have read of Pak he is a really good writer so I am excited, all though didn't justice league all ready tell the first time batman and superman met?

I wonder if I would feel okay about dropping Detective Comics and Action Comics and just picking this up. One of my favorite artists on it, really good writer, two iconic and important characters on one title. Yes...this shall do nicely.

SHOCKING!!!

I just hope we see Dick Grayson Robin in there somewhere.

Neat, I'll be reading this

Can't wait to see this revived!

Will hold off on my full reaction until the whole rest of the new books in June are announced. But suffice to say for now: did not see that coming.

I just had a nerd boner.

Yes yes yes god has heard my prayers ( but we know that he is not real Spoiler!)

SO AWESOME!!!!

Sweet. I like Greg Pak's work on Hulk and pre-new 52, Superman/Batman was one of my favorite comics. I like hearing or reading in this case, the news that Batman/Superman is coming exciting. Its time for the true World's Finest to have their own book!

Very cool
