The Rebirth Superman Family crossover continues as the Battle Royale begins in earnest. With the heaviest of hitters representing the Revenge Squad, the Super family flies to Superman's side. And while the story is ok, I have several problems. First, there is the cliché "All of my worst enemies together..." issue. While this setup keeps fanboys up at night with the endless possibilities, it seems to me to be overkill. No matter the clever ending, the unbeatable situation always seems to use up possibilities too quickly. Next, making Superman blind (and now possibly deaf) again seems like some fan boy trying to see just how bad can I make it for Superman. Like adding that third layer of icing on the cake to see just how sweet you can make it. Finally, the battle royale is short lived, unorganized and just shows how easily our heroes can be defeated. A rather depressing look at the Superman Family in all it's complexity.
