Superman / Batman #65 - DC

I've always considered this book to be like the new World's Finest book. However, next week . . we're getting a new World's Finest book. So . . I'm not sure where that leaves this one. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Anyways, this was one more Halloween story. Scarecrow has somehow abducted Superman, Batman, the Joker and Lex Luthor. This issue shows us what each of them has nightmares about. It was an interesting book, but . . there wasn't really much to it. The Scarecrow catches them. We see what each of them is thinking about during their nightmare. Batman, of course, is the first with the mental acuity to pull himself out of the dream. He subdues Scarecrow, and wakes up the rest of them. The funniest part of the whole book was after they capture Scarecrow, we get to see what his nightmare is. It's a Wizard of Oz theme. Dorothy and Toto have come upon him, but . . they aren't scared of him. Neither are the birds. And before they leave . . Toto decides to take a leak on him. Hilarious! It was an ok book, for what it was. Peter Johnson and Matt Cherniss wrote the story. The art was handled by a couple of different people . . Brian Stelfreeze, Brian Haberlin, Kelley Jones, Joe Quinones and Gederico Dallocchio. I liked it. But it seemed way to short. Well . . hopefully we'll get back into the regular stories next month.
