I liked it. A lot of people are bothered by the ret-con-iness of it, but who cares, it's a good story. Some minor quibbles:
* Wonder Woman's hot pants are ridiculous. It's too bad her costume works so hard to undermine her coolness. Esp. since the other Amazonian is dressed like a kick-ass rock star.
* The rapidly switching omniscient POV was hard to track at times. It switches between Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a narrator, often on the same page, often when more than one of those characters is in that panel. Surely there was some better way to convey that information, or at least signify whose head we were in.
But, what else. I guess that's it. This is one of the first times I actually enjoyed the character of Superman. He's so eye-rolly towards Batman. Awesome. That I could use a lot more it.

My biggest issue with this was the tone. It felt off to me, like it was really trying to be something epic but was missing ingredients. Instead of being fun, it felt like it took itself a little too seriously. Maybe part of my bias is based on a general disinterest in Ra's al Ghu, but I enjoyed [b:Injustice 2, Vol. 2|36022863|Injustice 2, Vol. 2|Tom Taylor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1519399920l/36022863._SY75_.jpg|57595928] which I read right before picking this up, and I enjoyed that story.
I didn't think this installment had anything special to say about the characters and the plot was forgettable and felt very generic. A fine comic, but nothing noteworthy in my book.

Two stars for Clark. He is the only one whose personality was well shown. The others.... not so much. Besides, this is kind of boring.

The whole premise - the first meeting of DC's power trio is interesting, but it lacks certain credibility. And Wonder Woman's fangirling over Superman is a little overdone (as is her underestimation of batman, a human being fighting crime despite the inherent limitations of, well, a human being). Overall is entertaining and nicely told.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Save a few of the ridiculous dialogue the writer gave all three at times, it was a fairly good read.

An attempt at a more traditional story, a first meeting of the big 3 for DC. It just wasn't that special though, and Wonder Woman is portrayed too weakly.
