Editorial Reviews

Review

"Superman: Dark Knight Over Metropolis collects 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

"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

"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 the Superman titles. In the end, Superman and Batman's uneasy alliance takes a big step forward [in a] major plot point." -- Brian Cronin

From the Back Cover

A mystery in Gotham leads Batman to Metropolis ... and a team-up with Superman!

When a dead body in Gotham City turns up with a Kryptonite ring and a bus ticket from Metropolis, Batman had no choice bu to follow the clues where they lead - the home city of the Man of Steel!

But Superman is busy with a case that may be more than he can handle. His friend Cat Grant is the material witness in a trial that could help bring down Intergang. But that makes her and everyone she cares for a target - including Clark Kent and Lois Lane!

To get to the bottom of the Kryptonite ring killings, the world's finest super-heroes will have to team up to take on Intergang enforcers, super-villains, and the notorious Lex Luthor, all while learning to trust each other.

Classic Superman creators Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, John Byrne, Roger Stern, Art Adams, Bob McLeod and more present Superman: Dark Knight over Metropolis, an action packed Superman and Batman team-up! Collects Action Comics #653-654, Adventures of Superman #466-467, Superman #44, and Action Comics Annual #1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Batman/Superman Team-Up of the 90s.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
There's a lot of Batman/Superman team-ups over the years including the 2016 blockbuster superhero movie "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice". But this team-up took place in the 90s. It opens with "Action Comics Annual #1" where Superman & Batman takes on a vampire. Then to the main story "Dark Knight Over Metropolis" where this woman uses a kryptonite ring on Clark Kent claiming she knows he's Superman. Then Batman found the ring in Gotham which led him to go to Metropolis where he teams up with Superman to take on the Intergang & the Man of Steel's archnemesis ---- Lex Luthor.

This is a great graphic novel. If you love the movie "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice", then you got to buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected, still okay

I had hopes that this might be the 90s story where Superman and Batman first met, as I was curious to read about the 90s spin on that story. But it wasn't, and in fact, for most of the story, Superman and Batman weren't really together. The first story was a little weird/awkward for me, didn't quite like the visuals, but at least Superman and Batman eventually did meet in that story. And then there was an extended Superman storyline, in which he is in the middle of some personal problems and has to deal with the fallout of a crashed experimental spaceship.

Batman doesn't show up until the next story arc, Dark Knight Over Metropolis, in which Superman/Clark Kent's problems are further explored, with a super gang targeting Clark Kent and his friends and a woman meets Clark Kent with kryptonite. It has the 90s spin on crime and drug problems with Superman/Clark Kent given a heavy emphasis in particular as Batman/Bruce Wayne is mostly a sidekick. Still okay, though.

This is one of the best stories I've read and says more about the Batman/Superman relationship than years of other stories. The space shuttle story does not need to be in here. It serves no purpose.

great storys and what not but the cover is terrible. If anyone sees it, it looks like a coloring book. as an adult avid collector, Id rather my books not look like it was made for a 4 yr old. But the comics are just right and worth this is a worthy purchase despite its silly appearance

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic DC at its best.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014

For the fans of the old school DC comics this story is pure gold. This story is from the period where Batman is just beginning to make the transition from the somewhat comedic character he had become in the 60s (thanks in part to the old TV show) and is becoming the darker entity we know him as now. While Superman is the perennial big blue Boy Scout, the icon of heroism justice and fair play. These diametrically opposed heros are drawn together by a mystery that crosses both their cities and could stand to reveal Superman 's secret identity if left unresolved. The hero's must work together against the forces of Intergang to solve this deadly mystery. If you enjoy old school DC, then this story is for you.

Very much regret this purchase. The artwork is terrible and the stories are juvenile. One is about a shape-shifting vampire who Superman is powerless against because, as the story explains is, supernatural = magic (??) and whom Batman actually kills in the story. Isn't that against his code? The worst graphic novel I have ever purchased. And if you are angry with me for giving away plot points, well, believe me, I've done you a favor.
