Great Character Portrayals, Minimal Background Illustration
Positive: Pak handles the characters very well, particularly the exchanges between Earth 2 and Earth Prime heroes. Earth Prime Clark's interaction with Earth 2 Clark's parents is emotional and entertaining. Shadows and close-ups of gloomy expressions create a dark atmosphere in which Superman and Batman can convincingly coexist.
Negative: Panel-to-panel close-ups of facial expressions against black backgrounds becomes tiresome. Lee's art highlights the importance of a strong background, something that is taken for granted.
Batman/Superman #2 is far less confusing than the first issue, a common complaint made by readers. Batman/Superman is set to become one of the more interesting of DC's ongoing titles.
