Shouldn't Batman be in the shadows and Superman in the light?

I think that might have been intentional for an ironic effect, you know? I kind of like it.

Kenneth Rocafort's art is like sex to my eyes. And that use of black and grey on Batman is AMAZING.

Yeah but, guys Rockafort is an amazing artist but, the artwork for the comic book is going to be done by Jae Lee...I personally think he sucks. Rockafort has only done the variant...I hate it when that happens.

Wow, that cover is so badass. I'm definitely paying for this.

I like the role reversal of having Superman in the shadows and Batman front and center.

I wish Rocafort was drawing this book or at least just a couple of issues. I really like his version of Bats.

Very dark, almost excessively 'no homo'
Hope this will be the best Worlds Finest in a long while

I haven't been moved by an artist's work like Kenneth Rocafort's since Michael Turner. KR is truly awesome

wow... @earzmundo. I'm sorry while he is up there, I don't think he is anywhere near as fantastic as JH Williams or Yanick Paquette. I find both Supes and Batman's right leg in this to be a bit question raising. Something about KC I really like, I guess he does really nice Turner-esque faces which is a plus but, I find his artwork to be lacking. I mean it's great for for what it is, but there is so much emptiness in the pages he turns in I find. So much blankness. I love Francis Manapul's layouts in Flash very creative. Mikel Janin I think is doing a much better job I would say than KC.

Also I hate the way that they switched the title to being Batman/Superman instead of Superman/Batman. Man of Steel better hurry up and put Superman on top again.
