I really like this series. This issue we focus on Supergirl and Batgirl. Oracle calls on Supergirl for some help. Last issue, Batgirl was following up on Mr Freeze, and a sighting of the Kryptonite Man in Gotham. What she wasn't expecting was to run into Catwoman and the Toyman. And when Stephanie and Selina take him on, they're overwhelmed by an army of toy robots. They end up in storage container dropped into Gotham River. Which is where Kara comes in. Steph takes Kara back to the place where they ran into the Toyman. They find that he and Mr Freeze are working together to build something. It's actually a giant robot . . an amalgamation of Superman and Batman, and powered by the Kryptonite man. Which explains why they had him locked in a cryo-chamber. The little toy robots they can handle. They're a pain in the butt, but . . eventually they know that they'll beat them. This . . this giant robot that shoots Kryptonite beams out of it's eyes . . this is something for the big leagues. Which leads Batgirl to tell Oracle that it's a code black. I assume that's the highest level of threat. Batman, who's been monitoring Batgirl's transmissions, immediately activates the satellite which sends out the signal. Basically, it's a signal meant for Kal-El's ears only.
I know he's on New Krypton, but . . apparently this was something that was set up ahead of time should he be needed for the direst of emergencies. I'm not sure that this qualifies as that, but . . the girls seem to think so. And Dick's pretty quick to activate the signal. So next issue will be Superman and Batman. The way the
World's Finest was meant to be. I know we get the Superman / Batman team, almost every month, over in
Superman / Batman. But . . I think it's great that they brought the
World's Finest title back. Even if it is only for 4 issues. Sterling Gates provides the story for this book, with Jamal Igle on the pencils. Both of them, I think are doing a great job here. I'm not thrilled with these covers, but . . what are ya gonna do? Anyways, I'm intrigued by Stephanie's character, so I'm glad to see a little more of her. I think she's got a ton of potential. Now that she's not the Spoiler anymore. Now she can play with the big boys and girls.
