In "The Superman-Batman Revenge Squads!", the annual rivalry between Superman and Batman heats up when the two heroes challenge each other in a series of crime-fighting contests, with Jimmy Olsen and Robin as their partners.

In "The Superman-Batman Split!", a dying actor’s desperate ruse blurs the line between truth and deception, tricking Superman and Batman into believing he’s a pair of warring aliens. As the lie spreads, even trusted allies like Supergirl, Batgirl, Robin, and Jimmy Olsen fall for the act—leaving readers to wonder who’s really playing whom.
