Superman / Batman: Public Enemies

In 2004, DC Comics brought together two of its greatest icons in this prestige-format one-shot by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness. The story pits Superman and Batman against a government-orchestrated conspiracy, forcing the World's Finest team to operate as fugitives while confronting a gauntlet of super-powered adversaries. It's a defining modern take on the duo's partnership, blending high-stakes action with the deep mutual trust that makes their bond legendary.
