NEWSARAMA reviews WORLD'S FINEST #1
October 30, 2009
With Superman off-planet and Batman presumed killed-in-action, a new team must assume the mantle of the World's Finest. With Red Robin teaming up Kryptonian superhero Nightwing (both being adopted sons of their respective mentors), Sterling Gates crafts a story that, despite its flaws, has some great fist-pumping moments that will make this story worthwhile.
Gates' writing style frequently has him opening up his stories with a bang. The first six pages of his script are just poetry in motion, as he quickly establishes Tim Drake's angrier, more Bat-like nature. "Pull over or I will pull you over!" Red Robin shouts, as he grabs upon a speeding biker. And the moment where the new Nightwing and Red Robin meet, well, that's the sort of pathos that makes a shared universe worthwhile in the first place.
