You know, this is funny but it's still kinda chilling to think that their universe(s) get destroyed and recreated for the amusement of a couple of 5D imps. Weekly.

At least it explains retcons better than most of the reboots.

The "Caesar's ghost" gag is my favourite.

[arilou_skiff]

Yeah, me too.

Especially the callback to it later (unposted)

[flint_marko]

What callback?

[thezmage]

Nearly at the end of the book there’s a panel of their fight going through Heaven and Perry says “Great Caesar’s Ghost!” again, and Caesar gets mad at him

[kamino_neko]

It is great, yes.

So Frank Miller's portion portrays Superman as a muscular moron who gets one-shotted, while Batman is so badass he can get a 5-dimensional being to bleed.

What a shock.

[cyberghostface]

Except Miller is just doing the art.

[beyondthefringe]

Which seems pretty in line with the whole Dark Knight Returns mood anyway...

[flint_marko]

How is he portrayed as a moron, despite what Mxy says?

And the blood bit is just them parodying Miller's monologuing. Not to mention Batman gets one punch in while Mxy is distracted, and then Mxy thoroughly humiliates him.

The sorta-visceral deaths in Silver Age style are deeply disturbing; Bat-Mite's desperate fanboying over crispy-fried Batman, chunks of hole-punched Robin littering the place... I mean... "Eurghhhh!"

Pretty in keeping with the setting's aesthetic, really.

Best DC Universe story ever.
