On a very basic level, JLA/Doom Patrol unfolds like most superhero crossovers do. Two teams butt heads and battle each other for a bit before uniting in order to confront a common enemy. But given that the Young Animal line has built a reputation for highlighting the weird, mind-bending corners of the DCU, there's plenty of room to add flavor to that familiar formula. The result is a wacky team-up that captures the best qualities of Young Animal while being somewhat more approachable for readers who crave traditional superheroics.
The gist of this crossover is that an inter-dimensional corporation seeks to profit on the concept of superheroes. To do so, they've created Milkman Man, an all-American Superman analogue who furthers their goal of ushering in a safe, homogenized existence where everyone worships at the altar of their corporate oppressors. On one hand, that's an excuse for the Doom Patrol to trade punches with the milk-addled Justice League. But on the other, the premise opens the door for a thoughtful, if very bizarre, examination of the power of superheroes and and the tenuous divide between reality and fiction. As much as co-writer Gerard Way tends to draw inspiration from the work of Grant Morrison, this issue in particular reads like a love letter to Morrison's big ideas, even as it piles on more craziness and meta-humor for good measure.
