However the two dimensions don't really have much in common, "really", do they? <br />But maybe the 'Negative Zone' might be a part of -- or, anyway, somehow connected to -- the 'Anti-Matter Universe' that is home to the Weaponeers of Qward and to the post-Crisis version of the Crime Syndicate?Simreevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-74975296763478840142015-11-10T05:55:08.832-05:002015-11-10T05:55:08.832-05:00Mike W.

My first comics growing up in the 1980s were Barr's B&TB issues, and later Batman & the Outsiders. HIS Batman for me was the definitive one- Detective foremost, dry humor, arrogant, loner, leader, and unfazed whether going up against ghouls & vampires or superpowered aliens or brilliant yet insane thinkers.

They aged. The other thing was teaming up Superboy with Bruce as variations on Robin. I wish Byrne had been given the opportunity to continue the series and "bounce" around the Batman/Superman Family with different stories. His take on the Teen Titans was quite interesting!AirDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888950508297936735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-44262887044554661132015-11-09T08:42:56.685-05:002015-11-09T08:42:56.685-05:00That looks like John Byrne art to me.
