Superman / Batman #54

Superman/Batman #54 brings the World's Finest duo face-to-face with Bane in a cover that practically leaps off the rack — Rags Morales renders a snarling Batman hurling the massive, venom-tubed villain overhead while Superman surges in alongside him against a stormy purple sky. It's a striking showcase for the partnership at the heart of "Super/Bat Part 2," with Green, Johnson, Morales, and Dell delivering the kind of kinetic energy this title does so well. A great single-issue pick from 2009's DC lineup.
