4.0 out of 5 stars TWO LEGENDARY HEROES! ONE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!

I'll keep it short like Grandma's shortening bread!...This is a pretty cool adaptation of THE CARTOON NETWORK'S "BATMAN AND SUPERMAN'S: WORLD'S FINEST" animated two hour movie!

I just wished that the book was longer. The animated movie itself had a lot of adventure and action scenes that are barely touched on in this book or just simply not shown at all within these pages.

Still, considering that no movie adaptation comic is ever really perfect, it's not bad. Me, though?..I just got this book so's that I can learn to draw BATMAN & SUPERMAN. ..Lol..Lol..

A straightforward adaptation of episodes from the animated series. Well done, but doesn't add anything if you've already got the cartoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is good, but the movie is way better
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2013
Novelization of an animated movie by the same title (which originally aired as three episodes of Superman Adventures Animated Series). If you've seen the episodes or the movie, you don't really need to read this, as this is a shortened version of the movie, with only very slight deviations in dialogue, and only one tiny extra scene between Bruce and Alfred. Some characters' clothing colors differ from the ones seen on screen, especially the terrorists from the plane that have a very different look. Also, the awesome voice talents from the movie add a lot of additional meanings and humor to the dialogues, which you don't get if you just read them written as in this comic.

What I liked about this graphic novel is that even if the scenes are the same as in the movie, they are shown from an opposite angle, so you kind of get to see the other half of all the scenes.

In short, the movie is really awesome, a must-see, so if you have a chance between seeing it or reading the story in this graphic novel, definitely watch it first, then you'll be able to understand and appreciate this graphic novel better too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2001
Worthwhile use of the "World's Finest" title for this first animated meeting between the Bat and the Big Blue Cheese. (For many years, "World's FInest"'s lead story every month was a Batman/Superman team-up, in an era when hero's team-ups were not common)
Excellent adaptation of the original; however, not a slavish one -- plays the rivalry between Batman/Bruce and Superman/Clark for Lois Lane's affections a little more broadly (the visual differences between the animated and the comic versions of the scene in which Clark calls at Lois's apartment and Bruce is already there are Significant).
Harley Quinn's running feud with Luthor's bodyguard/chauffeur, Mercy, is one of the high points.
While it doesn't bring much new, it's a good counterpoint to the film it adapts in giving alternate, slightly more "adult" views on some things -- if you have one, you really need the other.
