This is getting better. I still have some qualms about the dialog for various characters being off but it seems like we're going to hit the meat of this story from this point onward.

An unknown alien spaceship caused world-wide darkness. Where is the Man of Steel?

This issue was a little slower but there were some good bits of dialogue with characters as Batman assembles his team. The art style is growing on me more.
