Superman / Batman Annual #2

Superman writhes helplessly, crackling with green energy, while a skeletal, ghoulish figure looms large — its monstrous clawed hands dominating the composition — as Batman and Robin look on in alarm below. The tagline "The Man Who Stole Superman's Powers!" sets up a genuinely intriguing threat at the heart of this 2008 annual, written by Joe Kelly with cover art by Scott Kolins. It's a striking, dynamic image that promises a story with serious stakes for DC's most celebrated duo.
