I think that was the intention though. The whole Story focused around the idea of infinity. So Morrison pretty much hommaging a story with the same characters watchmen was hommaging in the first place fits quite well with that.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the fact that Batman/Superman has one of the best depictions of the New 52 Superman to date?

Seriously—he's not a douche, juggles for hospitalized kids, frees orcas into the wild, and—I swear to God, I'm not joking—smiles and laughs.

Seriously, look (from Batman/Superman #16):

You know someone is a superhero when they know there are more ways to instill hope then to just fighting bad guys. This sorta reminds me of that Timeranger episode where Naoto/Timefire comes to visit a hospitalized kid in full ranger suit.

Now to wait for Batman to not be mcbroody scowlypants 24/7.

Exactly. Getting a Watchmen-esque comic with the originally intended characters was what drew me to picking it up in the first place.

It reminds me of why I love Superman.

And why Scott Lobdell should never be allowed to write any of the Superman titles until he learns how to write good stories.

I miss Batman: The Brave and the Bold. :(

This portrayal is essentially what Superman is about to me. A titan of strength, and yet one of the most emphatic people around.

A beacon of hope that shall light the way into a brighter future for humanity.

I hate that some writers and alot of comic fans think Superman should be more brooding and cynical just because its more "realistic" somehow.

Batman handles that path. The brooding, cynical, yet emphatic person. Superman is the opposite side. Both show empathy in different ways, and it would not be wise to change that.

Its the old thing alot of people have that Nice Guys are for whatever reason not interesting enough to watch. To which I disagree.
