In "The Superman-Batman Split!", a dying man named Ronald Jason uses a mysterious radioactive element to impersonate two alien invaders, pitting Superman and Batman against each other in a high-stakes deception. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated with striking detail by Neal Adams, with inks by Dick Giordano and lettering by Ray Holloway, this 1984 classic features a tense, cleverly constructed conflict where trust is the real casualty. The cover by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson captures the dramatic split between the two heroes in bold, dynamic style.

In "The Superman-Batman Split!", Superman and Batman are pitted against each other by a dying actor, Ronald Jason, who impersonates two alien brothers, Dur and Tiron, in a desperate bid to manipulate the heroes. With Supergirl and Batgirl on opposing sides, and Jimmy Olsen caught in the middle, the tension escalates as the line between truth and deception blurs.

After the events of *World's Finest #300*, Superman and Batman trade their usual heroics for a rare moment of downtime, heading to Hatari Pub to unwind. What starts as a quiet break quickly sparks an unexpected clash of egos — and maybe a few punches — in the heart of the city’s most unlikely showdown.
