Can we have Bruce and Superman's powers back?

Please?

Look, I am loving this whole arc. I don't care much about Jim Gordon Batman, but it worked well in this collection. Plus Superman teams up with Batgirl, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd as if it were a gift just for me.

I had a good time with this atypical run. We discuss in more detail in this special Batman Day episode of the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/episode-212-batman-day-2019

A weak Superman and an overpowered NOT Batman were interesting... But not something I would want to read more of. Gordon isn't as much fun as Batman.

The more of their newer graphic novels I read the more I wish these included a "previously" page at the beginning. While I like Pak as a writer if I had known Jim Gordon is now Batman and Superman basically has 1% of his strength, can't fly and is about as invulnerable as your average starting right tackle this collection wouldn't have such a steep learning curve.
All that said this is a fun story. Vandal Savage is a golden age bad guy who was given a modern update on the CW and works as an interesting foil to a depowered Superman. The addition if Redhood, Batgirl and Agent Grayson to the mix have a getting the gang together feel that serves the story well and has a nice payoff.
