Come on now. Did anyone really think that Superman and Batman wouldn't be able to beat a giant robot put together by Toyman, Mr Freeze and the Kryptonite Man. Well . . the Kryptonite Man's involvement was a little more personal. He was the power source. Whether he wanted to be or not. Anyways, it got set loose on Gotham last issue, and quickly captured Supergirl and Batgirl when they tried to stop it. Which is what forced Dick to put in a call for some serious help. And of course Superman dropped everything and came over straight from New Krypton. He didn't even hesitate. Anyways, they take out Shott's control of the thing, but that only serves to activate the self-destruct sequencing. That's when they find out that Shott had actually built the thing to be a giant bomb to use against New Krypton. So now . . not only do they have to stop the thing . . far enough out in the void so that it doesn't dissipate into the Earth's atmosphere, but they also have to make sure that it doesn't make it's way to New Krypton. Before it took off, it ate Supergirl. But when Batman goes in to rescue her, she's not much help because of the Kryptonite Man's presence. Superman comes busting in, but he has to move quickly also before the radiation starts affecting him.
Plus . . they have to save the Kryptonite Man. Even though he's the source behind all this trouble, he'll still die when the robot self-destructs if they don't do anything. Anyways, Batman and Superman defeat all of this . . as you knew they would. But when they return, they find out that although Robin gave Shott a pretty good beating . . it didn't really matter because he's also a robot. And then we find out that this whole thing was just a test . . an audition if you will, for General Lane. He wanted to see if Shott could build a good enough robot to fool the heroes. And now . . now he's got another project for him. 'With all of my resources at your disposal . . do you think you could build a machine that could fool an entire world of Kryptonians?' I thought Sterling Gates and Phil Noto did a pretty good job with this mini-series. It was nice to see the
World's Finest title out there again. And I thought this story held true to that book. I know. We have a Superman/ Batman team-up book every month. This title has just always held a special place in my heart.
