Superman / Batman: Sorcerer Kings

In this 2012 DC one-shot, writer Joe Kelly and artist Ed Benes pit the World’s Finest against a dark magic–wielding Superman, who has conquered Earth with a sorcerer’s might. It’s a standalone Elseworlds-style tale that reimagines the Man of Steel as a tyrannical ruler, forcing Batman to lead a desperate resistance. A compact, high-concept clash of heroism and absolute power.
