I agree...It was a good issue to end the first arc.<br /><br />I agree, Alfred has the best lines.<br /><br />"So no 'Batman hates Superman' or 'Batman plots against Superman'. They're friends."<br /><br />Amen, brother.<br /><br />Although I'm a puzzled about one panel: Alfred says Superman and Batman fought at the beginning, and we see a panel that appears to reference that story arc where Poison Ivy hypnotized Superman and Batman had to stop him... but later Superman wonders who would win if they fought. So... they didn't fight before? That scene did or didn't happen?<br /><br />"Here is my second favorite moment. The eventual 'who would beat who' conversation arises. Superman states the obvious. Hysterical."<br /><br />True. Superman asks how Batman would defeat someone who is several thousands of times stronger, faster and tougher and can fly, and Batman's only answer is... "I'm Batman". It looks like a parody of fanboyish arguments.<br /><br />Oddly and sadly it reminds me of "Many Happy Returns". Why couldn't Linda take Kara's place and fight the Anti-Monitor? Because Earth-One Supergirl is practically a goddess able to headbutt a planet out of its orbit, whereas Linda is "only" a super-powerful human. She hasn't got a prayer of defeating the Anti-Monitor, and no amount of brains, willpower, human spirit or fancy gadgets will change that fact.<br /><br />It also reminds me of Mark Waid's "Irredeemable". I haven't read it -I'm sick of "Evil Superman" stories, thank you very much-, but from what I've heard, when the Superman analogue snaps, the Batman analogues get killed very, very quickly.<br /><br />(Talking about Evil Superman stories, Supergirl just made her debut in the Injustice digital comics. I won't spoil it, but... Jor-El and Zor-El were loving brothers! Imagine that! And they took Kara to dragon-riding!)<br /><br />(Off-topic, but I've just read an old CBR "The Greatst Supergirl stories" pool: http://www.cbr.com/the-greatest-supergirl-stories-ever-told/ . Okay, on the one hand I'm happy that several Pre-Crisis stories are chosen, and COIE #7 does NOT take the top spot. On the one hand, "Girl Power"? And no Sterling Gates storylines?
