Batman: Gotham Adventures #36

The World's Finest team is together in Gotham in this 2001 animated-style team-up, with the cover — penciled by Bob Smith and inked by Terry Beatty — showing Batman and Superman in the thick of a chaotic brawl, each tangling with armed gunmen amid a flurry of flying weapons and sparks. The clean, energetic animated aesthetic suits the dynamic perfectly, capturing both heroes in full stride: Batman delivering a decisive strike up front while Superman handles his own opponents with effortless confidence in the background. Scott Peterson, Tim Levins, and Terry Beatty bring their sharp collaborative work to an issue that promises exactly the kind of punchy, fun adventure the "Gotham Adventures" title does so well.
