Superman and Batman first teamed up in these stories from comics' Silver Age, reprinted in one massive hardcover! Witness Batman and Superman's first encounter! Gathered for the first time in this singular, expansive collection: the classic stories that cemented their legacy as the medium's finest team-up. They had been fighting crime separately for years, but it wasn't until the historic SUPERMAN #76 in 1952 that Superman, the Man of Steel, finally teamed up with Batman himself. That story proved so popular that the two quickly became the main feature in WORLD'S FINEST COMICS-and the greatest friendship in comics was born. Their adventures together would feature heroes and villains such as Robin, Batwoman, Lex Luthor, Bat-Mite, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and more alien threats than might seem possible.
