I was pretty excited when the mystery code that I redeemed came with this comic. The code came from the Man of Steel DVD which I won in an online auction, that itself could lend to another story of my online adventures for digital comic codes but I was actually pretty excited that the throwaway bonus codes for digital comics often included in DVDs are actually some of DC's digital first titles.
The actual digital comic is something to be excited about too. It finally brings Batman into the Smallville universe. The writers of Smallville managed to debut a lot of characters from DC's portfolio in television through the show but the Dark Knight and his family were never touched during the show's ten season run. It's the holy grail of team-ups, the World Finest team indeed.
Reading it however was another story. It definitely is Batman, but I couldn't figure out why his face is blue. He actually has a partner, not Robin though, but an androgynous Nightwing. I'm not sure it was the intent but I couldn't tell is Nightwing was a he or a she.
DC took a page from Dark Horse here, continuing it's defunct shows with comic book series of its own. It worked for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I'm sure it will work for Superman as well.
