Follows the careers of Batman and Superman, starting in 1939 and finishing... oh wait, that'd be a spoiler!

It's a great take on the dynamic duo, focusing on what they tick and how their friendships blossomed over the years. The first two chapters are great to read, especially in the way Batman is humanized. The third chapter is brutal for what it is, but all that is redeemed by the end.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of either of these two titans.
I've always liked when comics play in real time, and this is a nice alternate history of a Batman and Superman who grew old together. Byrne's art is lovely as always and the story is not bad at all.
A really stunning story about the passage of time and the immortality of heroes. I didn't expect to be stunned by this, but I was. Beautiful.
I enjoyed this book for what it is. It speaks to the idea that both of these characters can evolve. Both go through changes that help them grow as people. That doesn't happen much in comics. This is one of the rare time where both characters changes don't insult the legacy of the characters.
