When Gotham City Challenged Metropolis pits Superman and Batman in a friendly but high-stakes race to perform the most good deeds in a single day, with the prize being an electronics convention hosted in the winning city. With Lois Lane and Perry White on the sidelines, and Robin tagging along for support, the heroes push their limits across Metropolis and Gotham—testing their strength, smarts, and commitment to justice in ways that blur the line between rivalry and teamwork.
In "The Dictator of Kandor!", Lex Luthor pulls off a daring scheme by shrinking himself and slipping into the Fortress of Solitude, where he secretly takes control of Kandor—Krypton’s tiny, preserved city. Once Superman follows him inside, he loses his powers, leaving him vulnerable as Luthor coerces the citizens into building him a weaponized army. With Batman and Robin arriving to investigate, the dynamic trio must outwit Luthor’s tyranny before the city’s fate is sealed.
In "The Club of Heroes," a mysterious benefactor named John Mayhew unites a roster of legendary adventurers—Legionary, Knight, Squire, Gaucho, and Musketeer—under a shared mission, offering them a new headquarters if they can choose a worthy chairman. To decide, they agree on a challenge: the hero who performs the most good deeds will earn the leadership role, setting off a race of heroism across the city.
