A review by smohundro
Superman/Batman: Saga of the Super Sons by Dick Dillin, Vin Colletta, Murphy Anderson, Bob Haney

3.0

The stories collected in this no-frills trade are from one of the trippiest ideas DC ever had. It's the 70s, so Superman and Batman have been around for ages. What would happen if they had sons, also named Clark and Bruce, who wanted to be super-heroes even though their parents for some reason forbid them -- as Superman, Jr., and Batman, Jr. Silver Age DC comics, especially the Superman ones, had a lot of crazy stories, with a hero "teaching someone a lesson" in some ridiculous way. (Faking their death, funeral and all, just to prove a point, for example.) At least a couple of these depicted this classic comic book father-son dynamic for dramatic effect.

The dialogue is also a bit painful. I have no idea if this is how hipster kids talked at the time or if it was a constant fever dream of writer Bob Haney (known for his far out Teen Titans stories around the same era).
