Despite some tragic events, this book offers us a glimpse of the debuts of our two regular series heroines. We see young Helena Wayne, daughter of the Earth 2 Batman and Catwoman, take her first flight as Robin under the watchful eye of her mother, much to the chagrin of her father. We see some of Supergirl's early training under the tutelage of her cousin, the Earth 2 Superman. We also learn why this Superman wants to keep Supergirl in reserve as just a secret weapon instead of openly helping. It seems that during an early battle between Superman and the forces of Darkseid, Lois Lane was killed. Superman refuses to risk Supergirl openly for fear he will lose her, too. And lastly, we see the two girls meet when Supergirl is called to help rescue an in-over-her-head Robin, the latter distraught at the death of her mother.
This issue provides a nice glimpse of these two heroines' early careers. Well done, gentlemen!
