I just realized that I forgot to log this when I finished the comics months ago. It was so inconsequential that I didn't even notice I'd read a volume until now. This is several 3-star stories presented in such a jumbled mess that I have to drop another star.
We have a two-issue story that tells a very slight version of Batman and Superman's first meeting. It's especially weak given that this was published alongside Waid's 6-issue Teen Titans origin story. The one-issue Joker/Luther "teamup" was just as inconsequential, but it was fun because I didn't feel I should expect more. Then it has the Annual with side stories that don't feature Superman or Batman AND aren't written by Waid, except for the one that's a prequel to the next volume and should have been included there!

An odds and ends package of stories. #18 and #19 are a new origin story for Batman and Superman's first meeting. It's very good. Then issue #25 is the Joker and Lex Luthor's first team up and it's OK. The annual isn't even about Batman or Superman. It's got stories for Metamorpho, a young Bumblebee and the Challengers of the Unknown instead, all by different creative teams and no Mark Waid to be found.

Ummm...
This is a placeholder until they get to a new arc. Retold first meetings of the 'World's Finest' and the first time the 'World's Deadliest' joined forces get thrown together with ...an anthology of other seldom used characters in Waid's mini universe (because that's what this is, really)

There is not a flaw to be found in these stories.
