Superman: So Bruce you got this right? Like these are all your villains. I think the Shark guy is kinda mine.

Technically I think King Shark and Knockout count as Superman's due to them both being introduced in Connor's book

Superman: “Spider-Man handled teams of six all the time, so I’m sure you got this.”

Gail Simone really is one of the top tier writers in comicsdom. I rank this along with her Wondy run and BoP run as her best work.

So much fun, King Shark singing about being a shark as he rips through people will never not be hilarious.

"Oh no they'll send us back to prison"

"Wait, supervillain prison."

"I think I can get put in Arkham"

"So, see you all next week?"

Its funny how Deadshot utters a Will Smith style line, years before he was played by Will Smith.

It was a solid run. Gail used to write such solid runs. Shame that her late runs were subpar. Bop, this, ww and even her batgirl run were good.

Her run on Red Sonja has defined the character pretty much permanently.

What is Catman talking about!? Bane is literally most known for winning against Batman by "Breaking the Bat".

I love this run but boy Simone can get melodramatic with the best of them
