Action Comics #654

The three-part "Dark Knight Over Metropolis" saga wraps up here in style, with Kerry Gammill and Brett Breeding's cover delivering a wonderfully kinetic image: Batman braces at a high-tech console while Superman flies fist-first into a snarling dinosaur, a Joker playing card lurking ominously in the background. It's a genuinely fun collision of Gotham grit and Metropolis muscle, brought to life inside by Roger Stern, Bob McLeod, and Brett Breeding for a 1990 team-up that earns every bit of its "Deadly Covenant" subtitle.
