Superman / Batman #43 - DC



This appears to be one of those in-between stories. Waynetech and STAR labs are working together on a satellite station where there are trying to capture the dark matter of the universe, and use it as a renewable power source. At least that's their plans. However, Dr Light seems to have other ideas in mind. At first I thought he was after the dark matter, but actually he was using it as a diversion to sneak in to Superman's Fortress of Solitude, to try to abscond with some new weaponry. New to him, anyways. But Batman, sensing that something is wrong when they're attacked in the station by some dark matter Titans, follows him to the Fortress, while Superman deals with the attack on the station. Of course both are victorious. Batman seals Dr. Light in a cocoon of dark matter. But somebody has pulled Dr. Light out of that trap. We don't see their face, but, to me, it looks to be Monarch. So apparently he's going to have something to do with the Final Crisis. But we don't know what yet. So basically, the purpose of this issue was, one to fill in between story-lines, and two, to get Dr. Light in to position with Monarch. But as always, it was another great chapter in the legends of the World's Finest. Come on! After all, that should be the title of this book. But I won't quibble. A very nice story, by Abnett, Lanning and McKone. I included the front page because I like the picture of the young Titans.
