When they headed into the arctic, Robin hoped they were visiting the Fortress of Solitude. Sadly, Batman and Superman were plotting a different course. They hoped to rescue Colonel Randall Kreitzer, whose SR-71 had mysteriously vanished. Then they hit a magnetic field that knocked out the Batwing and Superman, forcing Batman and Robin to bail out of their ailing aircraft.

Now, they're strangers in a prehistoric land where a Warlord named Travis Morgan, another former Air Force pilot, lives out his Edgar Rice Burroughs' dreams. Dinosaurs roam the land, and a villainous ruler seeks to dominate the world. Can Batman and Robin find Superman? And after meeting Tara, Mariah and Shakira, might Robin decide to stick around on Skartaris?

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #47 Preview

 

 

When you're psychic, there's no such thing as secrets. If you can read other people's minds, you'll learn everything that's important to them. When the Joker's Phantom Ray merges him with Lex Luthor, Hal Jordan's ring fuses Superman and Batman. The "Merger" has a brilliantly inventive mind and an infectious laugh. The "Fusion" tackles criminals but tries to avoid Kryptonite. 

Unfortunately, the Merger has an edge. When the Merger puts on Hawkman's Absorbascon, they can learn everyone else's secrets. What happens when the Merger turns the mind-reading device into a transmitter? And can Batman and Superman ever work together again, once they learn what each hides from the other?

The Joker had a super idea. He wanted infinite knowledge, and an alien device could provide it. Lex Luthor had the skillset to get him inside the Midway City Museum and nab the Absorbascon. Now, the two supervillains are bound together more tightly than Supergirl and Robin could ever hope to be, assuming they are willing to give dating another chance. 

Sadly, Batman and Superman can't dig their hands into the popcorn bucket, let alone get a grip on the combined criminals. Can Hawkman help out his ghostly superfriends? And will the Metropolis Meteors overcome the Gotham Goliaths to reach the playoffs?

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #43 Preview

 

Everyone regards a problem differently. While our individuality fosters diversity, it also creates conflict. Everyone knows what's wrong with the world. But nobody agrees on the same problem, let alone a solution to fixing our troubled world.

On Bizarro World, things are a little different. A dimensional vortex opened in the Fortress of Solitude and hurled Superman, Batman, and Robin there. Robin got more than a little shaken up, as he didn't see it coming. Along with Superman and Batman, he discovers that a virus is making everyone on Bizarro World think "right" for a change. Robin wonders if maybe that's a good thing. But it's not his world that is being ravaged by a mind-altering pandemic.
