About this Collection

This volume collects issues #5-8 of the New 52 Batman/Superman series, featuring a story arc where the World's Finest heroes are trapped inside a virtual reality game by the villainous Toy Master. Written by Greg Pak with art by Jae Lee and others, the tale explores the psychological manipulation of Batman and Superman as they fight to escape a deadly digital world.

In "Game Over," the uneasy alliance between Earth-1's heroes and their counterparts from another world reaches a breaking point. Batman's distrust strains the fragile peace, while Superman begins to feel the same unsettling effects that have been weakening Power Girl—just as Huntress and her mentor confront the growing tension between their worlds. Written by Paul Levitz and Greg Pak, with dynamic art by RB Silva and Scott McDaniel, and a striking cover by Jae Lee, this issue deepens the mystery of the rift between realities.
