Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator
Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator
Written by Mark Schultz. Art by Ariel Olivetti.
Fuck me, this was terrible. Just incredibly, incredibly bad in almost every way a comic can be.
Well, I suppose that is not true, here are ten ways in which it could have be worse:
1. It could have been drawn by many different artists with completely conflicting styles. Olivetti is far too reliant on digital painting or whatever, but his scenes in the Daily Planet office are pretty good.
2. It could have not featured any aliens of any sort at all (instead of barely featuring them) and just been about Batman and Superman exploring some empty caves.
3. Lois could have been killed along with every other non-superhero in Peru, causing Superman to have to travel back in time to save her.
4. Batman's costume could, somehow, have been stupider.
5. The badguy humans could somehow have been more vaguely defined (this one would be tough, as they didn't even have names, just an organization, I guess you'd have to not even name the organization.)
6. The Aliens could have been even less dangerous, and not even been able to damage Superman's costume.
7. Lois could have been completely useless, instead of saving Batman by having a "basic working knowledge of Kyptonian mechanics."
8. There could have been more tiny, annoying robots.
9. It could have had Aquaman in it.
10. I don't know. It could have been twice as long, that would have been pretty awful.
