I also got a good chuckle out of Batman being rather appalled that heroes would spy on other heroes.
And I love the way Mora draws faces. Both art and color in this book are spectacular.

Can't believe this is the same writter who wrote Kingdom Come Superman. How the mighty have fallen
I enjoyed this issue a lot more than the first two
Superman and Batman feel a bit more like characters (instead of statements) finally and I'm enjoying their relationship more (reminds me more of his JLA days). Supes "not believing in hell" was nice. The plot is moving and the twist at the end worked well and left me waiting for more. I also think Waid's balanced the Silver Age über-zaniness a bit better here. I still think Nezha himself falls a bit flat and that the exposition is a bit too much in places (I also would have prefered Robin and Supergirl to stay in the present instead of going into a little detour away from the good stuff), but at least I'm interested now in what Waid is doing.
Also, corrupted versions of Hal Jordan could form their own league at this point, given how common they are getting lol
NOTE: Does Diana have her clay origin back or is that just villain talk? They also mention it in her ongoing.

This is basically a Robin title, Waid's way more interested in him than either Bruce and Clark...and I get why, given the big push Dick is getting at DC to lead and mentor the next generation.
LOL. What are you talking about? Did you read the first two issues? I haven't read #3 yet but Robin is not the focus of #1 & #2. Hell Doom Patrol gets as much focus in #2 as Robin does. Even Billy Batson gets some screen time. Oh wait, then there's Kara too. This IS NOT a Robin title.
How old is Kara in this? The authors said Dick is like 17-18 and he and Kara had a thing, so I assume she's the same age
I have come with the idea than now we know why Supergirl never joined the Teen Titans: Robin didn't wanted her in the team.
"Never assign to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity or ignorance."
"Great stories will always return to their original forms"
"Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable." James Baldwin
Another great issue! Waid is nailing the banter/friendship between Batman and Supes. I loved the “Superman doesn’t believe in hell line.”
It’s always nice when an actual fan of Superman is writing the World’s Finest team up. Superman is given a great personality and is shown to be effective. I hate when he’s made to look like a naive idiot and gets shown up by the amazing all knowing Batman.
Getting to see the classic Doom Patrol again is always amazing!
I’m glad Kara is teaming up with Robin in the side quest. She’s usually left out of Dick’s generation of heroes. All of them know each other and treat one another like family, but Kara is never included. I guess that initially falling out between her and Robin happened right as he was forming the Titans.
I do wish DC would reestablish the friendship of Supergirl and Batgirl.
