DC Comics has revealed the covers for the highly anticipated Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #1, and now we’ve got some snippets to share. Mark Waid, Dan Mora, Tamra Bonvillain, and Aditya Bidikar join forces to tell a Superman and Batman tale like no other. The first issue will be available in comic book shops Tuesday, March 15, and arrive with 32-pages with no house ads and will also include Waid, Mora, Bonvillain, and Bidikar’s story from Detective Comics #1050.
So what’s Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #1 about?
In the not-too-distant past, Superman’s powers are dangerously super-charged following an attack by the villain Metallo…and the only ally that the ultra-powerful Man of Tomorrow can turn to in this turbulent hour is Gotham’s own dark vengeance: The Batman. A near-fatal burst of power drives Bruce Wayne to his own extreme measures to help his friend…enlisting none other than The Doom Patrol for help.
Then in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #2, it’s danger and intrigue (and the surprise appearance of Deadman) as Batman works with Niles Caulder—the Chief in charge of that strange band of misfits known as The Doom Patrol—to cure Superman of his freakish transformations!
In Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #3, a side mission to track a shadowy figure has Waid, Mora, Bonvillain and Bidikar taking readers on a twisted time-travel tale of titanic tenure! In an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery, Robin the Boy Wonder and the Supergirl of Krypton venture back in time to China circa 1600 B.C.—running headfirst into the ancient superheroes known as the House of Ji! Meanwhile, Superman and Batman are losing a race against time to save their fellow superheroes from the schemes of a new villain…one simply known as THE DEVIL NEZHA.
