You know, for once this major crossover doesn't seem too soon after the previous one. The titles have been running solo stories for what seems like a long time now. It actually feels like time for another major story.
I am not exactly sure what the last major crossover was. Bruce Wayne Fugitive? That seems like it has been a really long time.
