Superman #22/1968
In "Der Herr der Elemente," two alien visitors expose Superman and Batman's secret identities, spinning conflicting tales about their origins that each hero believes to be true—leading to a tense rift between the longtime allies. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with dynamic art by Neal Adams, inks by Dick Giordano, and a striking cover by Sheldon Moldoff and Charles Paris, this 1968 issue delivers a classic superhero dilemma with emotional stakes and a touch of cosmic mystery.
In "Harras, der Bat-Hund!", Batman and Robin race to stop a criminal gang that's hijacked a specially trained dog—Harras, the Bat-Hund—after kidnapping his trainer, Miller. With the dog's uncanny ability to bypass security systems, the gang strikes with precision, forcing the Dynamic Duo to outwit both the criminals and the dog’s unpredictable instincts before the city is overrun.
When two alien visitors expose Superman and Batman’s secret identities with conflicting tales of their origins, trust begins to unravel. Believing the version that aligns with their own memories, the heroes find themselves at odds—friendship tested as each defends their truth.
