Superman #2/1967
In this 1967 classic, Superman and Batman finally cross paths in a story titled "Wie Superman und Batman sich erstmals trafen," marking a pivotal moment in DC history. Written by Jerry Coleman and illustrated by George Papp, the tale unfolds in Smallville where Superboy watches Batman through a time telescope, leading to a surprising visit from Bruce Wayne, who blends into Clark’s high school class. With a clever disguise and a helping hand from Lana Lang’s father, Bruce attempts to outwit a bank robbery—only to find himself drawn into a mystery deeper than he expected. The cover by Carmine Infantino, Curt Swan, and Murphy Anderson captures the moment of their first meeting in striking detail.
In a small-town twist, Superboy watches Batman through a time telescope, unaware that Bruce Wayne—disguised as the mysterious "Flying Fox"—has just arrived in Smallville. As Bruce charms Lana Lang and uses her father’s medical costume to stop a bank heist, he’s determined to uncover the secret behind Superboy’s identity—just as Clark Kent finds himself drawn into a game of wits with the Dark Knight.
Lois Lane tries to help Polly Smith gain entry to the student club by convincing the others that Superman has a secret crush on her — all while keeping the truth about Clark Kent’s double life just out of reach.
When the Planet's Roundup's sales slump threatens the Daily Planet's future, Jimmy Olsen takes a wild leap—literally transforming into an alien to boost readership. Suspicion quickly falls on him as a spy, but convincing even his closest colleagues of his true identity proves harder than expected.
