Greg Pak to Write BATMAN/SUPERMAN

Kinda excited, as well as getting a book set in the past of the New 52.

my pants are wet....i think my wallets crying! anyway srsly cldnt wait fr this title!!!

Best team up ever! I'm getting this!

This doesn't interest me, like at all.

I like Pak's work on War Machine but I wanted to write the book in New 52.

"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?

This seems cool, but as somebody that made a goal to collect everything Batman starting with New 52, I must say there are way too many Batman books already.

No, another series I will have to get

Jeph Loeb's Superman/Batman run is actually one of the first comic series I read, Greg Pak is a fantastic writer so I may give this series a whirl. Hopefully it will have more of a fun tone that the other superman and batman books.

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.

I can't find it in myself to get excited about another book staring Superman and/or Batman.

ASDLKFJSDLFKJ JAE LEE SO IN!!!

NICE

YES! (takes a victory lap around the house) YES! YES! YES!

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?

they should have done superman/ wonder woman book

L

Dude, WHAT?! DC is taking all my money :'(

Yay!

This is going to be one comic that I'll buy in single issues! Can't wait for it!

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

THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS!...IN as much as this sounds like one of the best books the New 52 has put forward and I don't know where I will possibly find the money to pay for another new series. This is a creative team match up I never would have thought of, but its a brilliant pairing.

I may have to drop Snyder's Batman and abstain entirely from Man of Steel to make room for this in my budget.

*Thanks, Billy Batson, for sending this link our way.

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

That's basically what I meant.

Damn it I want to get this series but I don't think I have the money to spare. And I'm getting Snyder's Superman series as well as Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman and I'm into the rest of my pull list already. Plus I have sour memories of the Pre New 52 Superman/Batman run. Nonetheless, Greg Pak and Jae Lee on a Superman/Batman book? Best idea for a team up book!

When I saw Greg Pak's name, I got excited, but when I saw Jae Lee's name, my mouth just dropped. Oh my god, I NEED to get this when it comes out. I literally started hyperventilating!!!!!

@Outside_85: I totally get where you guys are coming from when you complain about another Bat/Super title, but unfortunately that's just what sells. Hopefully, they'll give Pak another title to write that stars a non-Bat or Super character, preferably a Wildstorm or Milestone character. And I'll gladly support that title, just like I was supporting Deathstroke and Team 7.

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.

Pretty much mimics my exact response.

I can't stop grinning. Best news all week.

@The Mighty Monarch:

But I meant that they should keep the Power Girl/Huntress duo and just switch the current creative team into this one.

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.

@Lvenger: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO!

Get rid of Indestructible Hulk? :P

Geoff Johns will be pissed , we might actually see a well written Batman in a book that is not entirely dedicated to the batfamily .

Very cool

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!

SO AWESOME!!!!

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

I just had a nerd boner.

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.

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.

Can't wait to see this revived!

Neat, I'll be reading this

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

SHOCKING!!!

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.

@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.

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?

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

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.
