About the series
John Byrne's "Superman & Batman: Generations" (1999, DC) is a four-issue prestige series that reimagines the parallel careers of the World's Finest heroes as a decades-spanning saga, with Byrne writing and illustrating every chapter. Each issue jumps forward in time, following Superman and Batman from the Golden Age through the modern era, exploring how their legacies evolve and intertwine across generations. It matters as a bold, creator-driven experiment that treats these icons as aging, growing characters within a single, continuous timeline.
