Superman/Batman #43

Rarely does DC put out a one-shot Superman/Batman. In the days of 4-6 issue story arcs that package nicely as a TPB, it is nice to see a one-shot. The best part of this issue is Mike McKone's art. His pencilling is really top notch. I liked his page layouts and he captured the action nicely. The story by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning wasn't the best though. There are some confusing story elements at the beginning as I'm not sure if Superman was posing as Bruce or if the dialogue is off. Anyway, the action kicks into full gear right away and is non-stop right through to the finish. I believe the ending is a nod to the Injustice League arc over in "Justice League of America" which would have made this story a little better continuity-wise if this book had come first.
