In this reimagined narrative, Superman’s spaceship doesn’t descend in the cornfields of Kansas but rather lands close to Gotham City. There, he is adopted by Thomas and Martha Wayne, who name him Bruce. His early life is blissful until the tragic event that frequently befalls these two parents occurs—they are murdered in front of young Bruce, leading him to unintentionally use his heat vision to kill Joe Chill in retaliation. As an adult, haunted by guilt and driven by a desire to combat crime in Gotham, Bruce unearths his spaceship hidden within Wayne Manor. He adopts the identity of Batman, determined to mete out punishment to wrongdoers. This version of Batman is not only superpowered but also more vengeful than usual, battling not just criminals but also the inner demons of guilt and failure. This story follows Bruce’s transformation from a figure of revenge into a beacon of hope reminiscent of Superman, and includes a Superman-inspired Bat-symbol, Lex Luthor portrayed as the Joker. If you’re a fan of either Batman or Superman, this tale is definitely worth exploring.
