So this is a prelude to an event, Doomsday Clock. This can’t stand on its own because it’s derivative of Flashpoint and Rebirth. And frankly there’s little suspense, because anyone who’s read Watchmen will know who’s behind everything. That being said, it’s action-packed, fast-paced, with tender moments, and two great detectives working together. It’s fantastically illustrated. I’m glad Joshua Williamson has helped Tom King finally write something decent for Batman. And I’m excited to see where

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. I also received a copy from Netgalley.Almost half the pages were blank with a dashed red line around the outer edge of the pages. The pages that were complete were okay, but I couldn't follow the plot at all. So, 3 incomplete stars.

This was definitely a prelude to the big event in November, Geoff Johns returning after the brilliant rebirth issue. The rebirth issues have been either a little mixed or right on the money and while I enjoyed the book, it didn't set the world on fire. Can't wait until November and the watchmen introduction is almost certain, with Superman holding some key. Not the strongest book but worth a look as a continuing of the rebirth issue.

Read this review and more on my blog, uncovered-books.I received a free copy of Batman / The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition from DC Comics in exchange for my honest opinion.In November, DC Comics are releasing a 12 issue maxi series which brings The Watchmen into this DC continuity. This 4 issue mini-crossover sets up what will happen.Batman has a smiling yellow button with some blood on it, but when he is unable to figure out who the owner of the blood belongs to, he enlists the help of The F...

I really wasn't sure what to make of this storyline when it was announced. The scope is grand which leaves lots of room for error. Pleased to report the opening salvo was rather entertaining with eye candy artwork. Bring on the Doomsday Clock!

The Button Deluxe Edition isn't very deluxe, in my opinion. I thought this was going to finally be the story that Flashpoint & Rebirth have been building towards...but no.It's a story about Batman & Flash investigating more of the Button stuff and chasing Reverse Flash through timelines. And in the end, they basically know exactly the same things they knew about the Button as they did when they started. Awesome. I'm not saying it's badly written, just that I was disappointed with the lack of an...

This was a fun little crossover event. First off we get Batman and The Flash teaming up. Second off I didn't like Watchmen the graphic novel when I read it back in high School. I might try again but I dunno, too dark for me. Yet I'm actually excited to see them crossover into DC Universe. It's exciting and fun IMO. What I liked: The art. Well, some of it felt odd yet some of it looked great. The coloring especially was really nice. I also loved seeing banter between flash and bruce since they're...

Very good crossover! So first things first if you haven't, you need to read Flashpoint then The DC Universe Rebirth One Shot, as this continues on from those with what I guess is a series now? Either way I like how DC is tying everything together and this is a fun crossover regardless of what it affects! So the story is Batman finds a mysterious button in the batcave, not knowing where it came from, (Although we as readers know exactly where it came from) and now Him and Flash go on a trip to fi...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.The crossover events are back with Batman and The Flash teaming up to pursue one of the greatest mystery to hit the DC Universe in the Rebirth era. With Batman/The Flash: The Button, fans are presented with a highly anticipated story that continues things right where DC Universe: Rebirth #1 by Geoff Johns left off. This four-part crossover, collecting Batman #21-22 and Flash #21-22, presents us with a couple of fantastic cameos of classic DC cha...

A surprisingly fun little crossover between The Flash and Batman that is dragged down by the fact that its main plot about the Comedian's button is totally inconsequential. This volume seems more important for the main Flash and Batman titles, though, so for those who follow those two books this one will be a necessary read.

Justice League’s greatest detectives together! This TPB is the Deluxe edition (Hardcover, Lenticular cover & large format), of “Batman/The Flash” event known as “The Button”.Creative Team:Writers: Joshua Williamson & Tom KingIllustrators: Jason Fabok & Howard Porter WHO WATCHES THE DETECTIVES? This could seem as an unlikely team-up, but actually is quite the contrary since Batman (Bruce Wayne) is obviously the greatest detective of DC universe, and The Flash (Barry Allen) works as a CSI pol

Batman/The Flash: The Button follows on from the end of last year’s DC Universe Rebirth #1 when Batman picked up The Comedian’s smiley-face badge in the Batcave. Here, Batman and Flash continue to investigate what the button means though it’s obvious that it’s teasing the Watchmen’s imminent appearance in the DC Universe. The thinking behind all this is that some of the Watchmen got up to shenanigans that haven’t been revealed yet and Flashpoint/The New 52 was the result. Rebirth is a separate u...

I liked that they put the lead in to DC's next big event, Doomsday Clock, in the normal Batman and Flash comics. You want to make sure you've read Flashpoint and DC's Rebirth one-shot first. This is all leading in to who was behind the creation of the new 52, which any comic fan knows who it is once that button showed up (and if you still had doubts, you see his hand at the end of this.)OK, the Reverse Flash shows up, knocks the snot out of Batman and steals the button. The Flash and Batman crac...

For some reason, I saw this and thought it looked like a stand-a-lone story. Silly me. This is part of the whole DC Rebirth! I'm still in the New 52 era so I'm not exactly here yet. So, I hate storylines that mess with timelines. I feel they are way overdone and I hate how things change. It's like the story is throw away and doesn't matter somehow to me. Anyway. I did like the Batman story in this, but I didn't like the whole, his dad is now Batman deal. That is ridiculous. Just stupid. The flas...

The Flash.Joshua Williamson.Batman.Tom King.I was going to read and really like this series.This is the snazzy, glossy DELUXE EDITION but I also have all four comics, 1) because I’m that cool, and 2) I own the complete run of The Flash rebirth series and a good chunk of King’s impressive run on Batman.The Button sets up the Doomsday Clock / The Watchman tie in DC extravaganza! And also ties in the earlier Flashpoint series of fun.Besides the great writing and extraordinary artwork, this is just

In Flashpoint, The Flash screwed up the entire D.C. Universe after he tried to change the past. And then in DC Universe: Rebirth, he learned that something bigger might have been the cause after he and Batman discover a bloodspotted smiley-face button in the Batcave and they're visited by a mysterious Speedster named Wally West claiming to know Flash. This graphic novel is the follow-up, as Batman and Flash once again try to learn the mystery of the Button, why Reverse Flash would risk his life

It has been over a year since DC started their big relaunch “Rebirth”, a new initiative following the New 52 (which ran for five years) that restored the DC Universe to a form much like that prior to the Flashpoint storyline, kicked off by the return of Wally West in DC Universe: Rebirth Special #1 by Geoff Johns. In that particular issue, which sets up many threads throughout the current DC lineup, Batman discovers a smiley face button in his cave and this is where the four-issue event “The But...

FlashpointsI loved this book. Ok I might be a bit biased Batman and the Flash (Barry Allan) are my favourite DC and Flashpoint is one of my favourite storylines.A button was found in the Batcave, it has been dormant for a long time finally it activates. Batman call the Flash but that is not who answers. This is an action packed, space & time crossing awesome crossover. Great artwork and story. Which leads to a number of other stories and another huge crossover between companies. Each of the issu...

A well-done enough take, spun out of DC Rebirth, about superheroes playing with continuity and not actually saving anyone. As usual. I'm not really a fan of Watchmen getting folded into the DC universe, but if so this is as good a job as any. Makes sense that it's a Flash adventure and then Batman along for the ride for sales, the two do make for a natural teamup.

This was a short one but so good!!(view spoiler)[ Reverse Flash targets Batman and well the fight in a minute is interesting but when Flash comes in to check on Bruce he sees this and finally decides to solve the mystery of the Button and they do but what they find will send them to flashpoint and back again and as they witness the loss of their history and that someone is messing with them and confront Thomas and the horrors of the one who keeps changing time and the fate of Eobard will change
