Enemies and Allies – Retro Batman and Superman story not found on the comic book rack.
Enemies and Allies by Kevin J. Anderson
When last you read your loveable geek writer, he was raving about the latest, high-tech version of Batman in the blockbuster (over 2.5 million sold) “Batman: Arkham Asylum” video game. Could that be the end of our loveable author? How could he possibly write more about Batman? Could this be the Bat-end of this Bat-parody intro?
While Batman’s video game success is scoring headline after headline, there is another Batman story that deserves some recognition. As much as Arkham Asylum is at the cutting edge of entertainment technology, Kevin J. Anderson’s “Enemies and Allies” is just about as retro as it can get.
Well, first off, it’s a novel. No, not a graphic novel. A real, hardcover (no paperback release yet) that re-images the first meeting of DC Comic’s two iconic heroes, Superman and Batman.
