We should all be hitting our knees every night and thanking whatever deity you prefer that Mark Waid is writing this. A lot of people like to pay lip service to honoring the past at DC but they've got precious few who can talk the talk and walk the walk and Waid is probably the best in the business at it.

And, right now, if you want your Silver Age itch scratched, this is it. These are the stories of my childhood and teen years continuing... and they're excellent, without some of the grin-grin-wink-wink silliness that a lesser writer might be tempted to throw in. And the Travis Moore art is great in this one.

This is good Dick Grayson detective story and I'm so ready for big new arc.

Ah é pra isso que eu pago a internet! Ops, é pra isso que eu pago meus gibizinhos! Nesta edição de Batman/Superman: Os Melhores do Mundo, Mark Waid estava mais inspirado que o normal e traz o Robin investigando, ao lado de Superman e Batman, um assassinato em um circo no começo do século XX. Lembra bastante as histórias dos anos 1950/1960 da World's Finest original, bastante divertida. Além disso, essa edição conta com a arte feita pelo "desenhista dos gostosos", Travis Moore, o que deixa tudo ainda melhor. Dessa vez a Panini acertou trazendo uma história complementar que não era da revista Batman: Urban Legends. Dessa vez, ela trouxe uma revista de um compêndio do Superman e que traz diversas versões multiversais do mal do Superman e do Batman enfrentando suas versões "originais". Completa a edição também uma história de quatro páginas estrelada pelo Charada. Dessa forma, essa foi a melhor edição de Batman/Superman: Os Melhores do Mundo até aqui, no contexto do conteúdo todo da edição.

Mark Waid tira fuori bomba dopo bomba, che sia un arco narrativo da 5 numeri, o un albo praticamente one shot come questo. Robin romanticamente perso dentro ad un circo, in cui si vede la sua felicità e l'amarezza dei ricordi passati, Batman e Superman che appaiono e cercano di mescolarsi con gli altri freak, un caso da risolvere, e tutto si conclude nel migliore dei modi. Un perfetto omaggio ai fumetti classici di supereroi, ma che sa di fresco, nulla è pesante e verboso, la narrazione e le tavole scorrono che è un piacere, senza sentire pesantezza o verbosità. Serie regolare perfetta, la migliore al momento nel panorama DC, leggera, piacevole, colorata e intrattenente

A edição mais fraca até o momento, acredito que seja pela história ser uma transição entre arcos.

É uma história de investigação do Robin, tentando provar a inocência dos animais do circo em que ele está hospedado até o Batman e o Superman resgata-lo. Como eles fizeram isso? Boa pergunta, porque não é explicado na HQ

[Kastie Pavlik · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun issue that sees Grayson in his element. The story doesn't tread any new territory - we've seen similar storylines in comics and on Young Justice - but you can't look away from Mora's gorgeous art and the sequences capture Grayson's personality perfectly.

[Clay Bartel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once again World's Finest is fantastically drawn and colored... unfortunately this period piece story which feels very Batman and Robin of a past era was note tonally my thing. Felt bit like a funny book story from 50s, 60s or 70s.

Not particularly decades in comics I like.

Basic plot is we follow Robin as he's disappeared into the timestream and landed in 1800s where he spends his time performing in a circus waiting for Batman and Superman to come save him.

A murder takes place, or a wild circus bear has killed someone we aren't quite sure. Robin decides to solve the case.

The whole thing is straight forward and entertaining enough. And by the general consensus this is a solid issue and great series.

Just wasn't an issue I cared to much for. 3 stars.

Over all I still recommend this series.

[RubiGiráldez RubiGiráldez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un número disfrutón con esa gran carga de aventura puramente clásica (apoyada y mucho en el artista invitado que da un respiro a Dan Mora. Y que aún no contando con su pura vibra en el trazo, no desentona tanto como cabría esperarse), que devuelve algo de ese espíritu circense que a veces se olvida de más en el Robin de Dick Grayson. El caso es que queda por debajo de más tratando de hacer funcionar una "investigación" entre carpas que no es tal. Tanto por las limitaciones de páginas como por el hecho de mantener en el número a Batman y Superman decidiendo posponer "un ratejo" el devolver a Dick al presente. Ya solo esto dejaría un curioso número de cara el seguimiento de los grandes planes de Mark Waid con esta cabecera. Pero tal como está el resultado queda a medio camino de todo.

I’ve looked for this particular issue every since I saw the cover somewhere. I finally found it at the Los Angeles Festival of Books.

I’m a big fan of Dick Grayson in any guise so I’m hoping this is good.

It’s a cute story of Robin being lost in time (1892) so he joins the nearest circus he can find.

Of course, while posing as an acrobat he stumbles across a murder that is pinned on the circus animals but Robin knows is really something else.

He of course investigates. Soon Batman and Superman find him and join him in the investigation.

A nice done in one story with good art. I’m giving it 4 stars and keeping it.

[saffles · Rating 3 out of 5]

the issue was short- only being around 28 pages. it's more of just filling the plot hole of what happened to robin after he got lost in the time stream during the first issue (the devil nezha). overall, i found it more like a oneshot rather than a full issue since it seemed pretty quick, wanting to get over and done with what happened to robin. but other than that, I do recommend for those wondering what happened to robin

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

What happens when you take the never ending danger from a fighter? He goes back to his roots and retakes in what he loves. I'm glad Robin to to experience the circus again. Batman even smiled. And of course there was beefcake.

[Jennifer Baratta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this issue.

Of course Robin ends up in a circus!
So Batman and Superman show up to help!
Nasty thieves use the circus to get away!
Robin and Batman stop them.
Awesome artwork.
Great writing.

[Mal · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the vibes of this one it's more chill, more detective stuff with just the main leads and less fighting. It's just the art style of the characters faces is too blurred and "3d" for my taste. I like this one it's nice.

[Renan Fontes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the best issue so far!

[Avinash · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked that it focused on Dick Grayson's character and story.

[Crunchylettuce · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everyone say thank you to Dan Mora for the shirtless himbo Supes

Cumming uncontrollably

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short fun story with Dick Grayson and him trying to solve a crime with the help of Batman and Superman back in the day. Nothing great, but nice throwback to superhero comics in 60's and 70s.

[Juju Andalon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Love a Dick Grayson detective story. There's not enough of them. Dan Mora's Superman is something else. It's no wonder so many people were focused on him.

[James B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bit of a slow burner, but picked up once Batman and Superman showed up.

[Beni · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great way to find Robin of course he went and found a circus but it was a good issue over all.

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.75

[Ernez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one was much different than the rest. I liked it tho. It felt like detective work that they all should be doing.

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

That undercover joke from Supes was pretty funny.

[❀ariel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dick is really the sweetest. I really enjoyed seeing him back in a circus, he looked so happy. It was interesting that they added a little mystery story, my favorite issue so far.

[Pams Portilla · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars for good Dick content and 5 stars for Supe's boobies
