Superman: Dark Knight over Metropolis (Superman (Graphic Novels))
"This one was pretty awesome. The story was well done ... both characters' strengths are played well. Batman is always the detective. The artwork was also well done. While we see that [Superman and Batman] are different in a lot of ways, there is a sense of respect between the two. The scene at the end [shows] the two getting closer as friends ... definitely recommended." --Random Thoughts"Writers Jerry Ordway, Dan Jurgens and Roger Stern (with artists Ordway, Dennis Janke, Jurgens, Art Thibert and Bob McLeod) deliver this powerful [story] with Batman bringing a little bit of darkness to theSupermantitles. In the end, Superman and Batman's uneasy alliance takes  a big step forward [in a] a major plot point." --Brian Cronin"Don't read the [original] description DC released, which spoils  the last page of the book.  Just buy it. This trade collects an early Dan Jurgens/Jerry Ordway/Roger Stern Superman story...in which a murder in Gotham  brings Batman to Metropolis, just as Superman is dealing with Intergang. There's great interplay between Superman & Batman, and the  end of the story is an important event in post-Crisis continuity--I've long thought that every fan knows what happens at the end ofDark Knight Over Metropolis, they just don't realize this iswhereit happened." --Collected Editions"It's very easy for people to be fascinated by the rivalry between Batman and Superman, but there's also something equally astonishing about their friendship. In this story, Superman enlists Batman's aid in his latest battle in Metropolis with Intergang, an organized crime group... After the adventure concluded, Superman began to truly understand that Batman, though shadowy and employing some questionable methods from his perspective, was an ally to be trusted." --Chris Clow"Superman: Dark Knight Over Metropoliscollects one of those storylines that everyone who read it seemed to really love, but that hit the stands back before the trade market demanded every issue of every half-decent-selling book be immediately shunted off to the bookstore market with a nice cover. I'm hoping it sells well enough to get some of the better '80s and early '90s Batman and Superman material a second look from DC." --Russ Burlingame
