Batman & Captain America

Rating:
Summary: Move on.
Review: I admit that John Byrne is a hard-working fellow. He writes, draws, inks and letters most of his own work, as is the case here. The case with this book, though, is that he makes up a boring plot. Plain and simple, it's boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. And the dialogue is so corny.

Captain America and Batman meet up during the 1940s to face off against their arch rivals, Red Skull and Joker. The book has Red Skull and Joker woking together as a team, only to have Joker betray Skull because he's a Nazi. As if the giant Swasticka didn't all ready point that out. And since when does the Joker have morals? Isn't he supposed to be an insane murderer?

The most insane, cracked-out part about this book, though, has to be when Captain America faces the ultimate Nazi weapon. It's sort of a tank that's the size of huge city building. It is very well drawn, that I admit, but so totally unrealistic...and I'm talking about a comic book, where we're supposed to stretch our imaginations to believe that such things can be possible!! Captain America takes it out EASILY, no sweat!

The only reason why this book gets two stars is because this is probably the best showing of Byrne's art. That's as good as it gets, folks. One hundred pages of pretty good artwork, and one hundred pages of total [garbage] for a story. Don't even think about buying this.

Summary: oh wow
Review: it's awesome. John Byrne's more than beautifully detailed artwork never looks better.

The story is poignantly written. It's great to see Batman and Captain America and their sidekicks Robin and Bucky join forces to defeat their respective enemies. I liked the concept of Joker and Red Skull as the villain duo of the book.

What better team-up than this pairing? Pairing of DC's Batman and Marvel's Captain America. The duo are arguably the best fighter in his own universe.

the ending was well done with a feeling of inspiration.

Summary: Remember when comics were fun?
Review: This book is fun, exciting and exhilirating. Good for the Byrne fan, the comic fan, or anyone who likes a good story, powerfully and neatly told.
