Superman’s a dick.
And so is Cyborg’s dad.
Other than those two developments, I’m not entirely sure what new developments Justice League has to offer. Jim Lee and his funny new superhero outfits?
Towards the end, when Darkseid’s minions break through to attack, it almost works. Johns and Lee almost get the issue to the point where it achieves some kind of visceral moment. But it’s only a two page spread… the rest of the comic is totally ineffective visually.
Marvel Studios guy Kevin Feige describes the Marvel team-up style as heroes who “fight each other, then they fight together.” So, yet again, the new DC Universe is just the old Warner Bros. underwear washed with Disney-brand detergent….
It’s better than the first issue if only because Barry and Hal are slightly amusing together. They remind of better comics, whereas Batman and Superman remind of crappy Frank Miller.
The first issue of this blanded me out so completely I still haven’t read this. I mean, it looks like Jim Lee’s art portfolio, except for the really dull Cyborg scenes. I don’t imagine my mind will change much after actually reading this, but I’ll try really hard. At the glacial (and i mean GLACIAL) pace the plot is moving, it looks like this story is going to take at least a year of issues to tell.
