DC Comics

Superman/Batman Omnibus Vol. 2 keeps DC's two biggest icons side by side, using their friendship as the engine for stories that move from intimate trust to huge superhero spectacle. The appeal is contrast: Clark's hope and Bruce's suspicion pulling against each other while the DC universe throws impossible problems at both.

Superman/Batman Omnibus Vol. 1 is built around the simplest DC contrast and one of its strongest: Superman and Batman together, friends despite everything that should make them opposites. Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness lean into scale, speed and iconography, making the partnership feel huge without losing the personal spark.
