Superman / Batman: Alternate Histories

In 1996, DC published this single-issue prestige special that reimagined the origins of Superman and Batman through three distinct alternate-history scenarios. Written by Jon and Judy Bogdanove with art by Humberto Ramos, the book explores what might have been if the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight had never become heroes or had their paths crossed differently. A compact, inventive snapshot of DC's Elseworlds tradition, it offers a quick but thoughtful meditation on the characters' core myths.
