This issue wasn't as off track as the last one, but it still had a lot of problems and didn't seem fitting enough for the big event that happened at the end. Interestingly, the emergence of the sand-clone Superman continues with some connections back to Denny O'Neill's Superman stories in the early 1970s (see also the "Quarmers" reference with Hordr_root's energy collectors).

Review of Batman v Superman Trailer 2
Jason Book and I breakdown the second full trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Warner Brothers).
We loved the interactions between Clark and Bruce, Wonder Woman's entrance, and we talk about why the spoiler freaks need to calm down. I also share several reasons why I am really liking this take on Lex Luthor so far.

Superman American Alien Takes Flight
Jason Book and I discuss the first issue of Max Landis's Superman: American Alien mini-series, published by DC Comics.
We both felt positively about the issue, with Jason calling it the best Superman comic he's read in years.

Batman 46: Batman v. Mr Bloom
Jason Book and I discuss the latest issue of Batman (DC Comics).
This issue began with a showdown between Jim-Bats and Mr. Bloom and also had some nice development for Bruce Wayne's relationship with Julie and for Duke. Things might be building from here on in to issue 50.

The Flash S02:E03-07
Jason Book and I discuss the episodes leading up to the fall break on The Flash (CW).
We're still really enjoying the show. We talk about the character arcs for Zoom, Patty, Caitlin, Cisco, and more.

Superman 45: Underground mythbrawling what?
Jason Book and I try to make some sense of the Superman issue 45 from DC Comics, written by Gene Yang with pencils by Howard Porter.
The art was a step up but the story went in a crazy direction. I'm not sure how Yang is going to bring it back around to the hordr_root through-line and the themes of privacy and technology.

Justice League 45: Setting Up Darkseid War One-Shots
Jason Book and I discuss issue 45 of Justice League, written by Geoff Johns with art by Francis Manapul. This issue continues the Darkseid War arc with several of the main characters separating and being set up for their one-shots coming throughout November.
The Batman one-shot came out last week, and today sees Superman and The Flash. Finishing it out are Green Lantern, Shazam!, and Lex Luthor, before the main Darkseid War arc continues.
