Superman / Batman: Supergirl #[nn]
In "Hero," Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman enlist Barda’s help to infiltrate Apokolips and rescue Kara, only to face escalating dangers once inside. As the team splits up, Wonder Woman and Barda are captured, and Batman’s fate hangs in the balance—while Superman confronts Kara, now seemingly loyal to Darkseid, who strikes him down with shocking force. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with striking intensity by Michael Turner, with colors by Peter Steigerwald and letters by Richard Starkings, this 2005 DC story delivers a gripping, high-stakes mission where loyalty is tested and heroes are pushed to their limits. The cover, also by Michael Turner, captures the moment’s raw tension.
