Superman #15/1969
In "Zwei BATmänner zuviel," Professor Potter’s wild experiment turns Jimmy Olsen into a man from the future for twelve hours, leading to some truly outlandish heroics as he convinces Superman to pull off a series of bizarre stunts to save the world. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with Curt Swan’s crisp art and George Klein’s inks, this 1969 classic features a delightfully absurd twist on superheroics, all capped off with a striking cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
In "Zwei BATmänner zuviel," Batman [Bruce Wayne] launches a daring plan to expose numbers racketeer "Nummern-Ede" Garvey as the mastermind behind the Kimber Gem heist, enlisting Robin [Dick Grayson] and the help of Atom [Ray Palmer] and the elastic detective der "lange Mensch" [Ralph Dibny; Elastoman] in a high-stakes game of deception and deduction. With Mr. Bingel caught in the crossfire, the Dark Knight’s elaborate ruse pushes the limits of illusion and trust — but can even the world’s greatest detective outwit a criminal who thrives in shadows?
When Professor Potter transforms Jimmy Olsen into a man of the future for 12 hours, the Daily Planet's photojournalist takes full advantage—hijacking Superman's powers for a series of wildly inventive stunts meant to save the world, much to the bewilderment of Lois Lane, Perry White, and the Man of Steel himself.
