The two great paladin of the DC Universe , BatmanandSupermanhave a repute for tackling nearly every scourge - but their nifty technique is seldom - used . The " World ’s Finest " of submarine frequently team up throughout story , and their different tactic , magnate and worldview usually results in a triumph . But inBatman / Superman : World ’s Finest # 1,the dynamic duo test once and for all thattheir fans are correct : they should trade cities ( and villain ) .
The issue start with monumental vine erupt out of the street of Metropolis , wreaking mayhem on the city . Poison Ivy has swop Gotham for the bigger , brighter city across the river and has impart her own special mark of eco - terrorism to Metropolis .

" Your baddie , my turf . Who begin to take her in ? Should we flip a coin?“asks Superman to his ally . Robin , perhaps terribly panic-struck of Two - nerve , warns Superman against coin - flipping in Gotham when another villain attacks : Metallo . His Kryptonite center prevents Superman from press the villain stopping point , so Robin attack Metallo while Batman deals with Ivy . While Metallo ultimately gains the upper deal in the fight and injects Superman with red Kryptonite , the entire situation could have been invalidate if Batman and Superman merely swapped villains … or shift cities they patrol to begin with .
Fans have do to the close long ago that Batman and Superman ’s villains would easily break if they went up against different heroes . Superman could easily make unretentive work of Batman ’s more human villains ( many have no powers , and those that do , like Clayface , are nowhere near as strong as Superman ) . Batman would perhaps have a harder clip fighting the likes of Lex Luthor , Metallo and Zod , but his knowledge of electronics and other gadgets could signify Bruce would have work out countermeasures for all of the above ( for Zod , hecould even utilize his Kryptonite ring , given to him by Superman in case Clark ever turned evil ) .
Unfortunately , the two do n’t like each other ’s cities very much . acid dislike Gotham due to many sure-enough building full of confidential information , and Batman hate Metropolisfor its wide streets and open quad ( preventing him from using stealth in competitiveness ) . Nevertheless , BatmanandSupermanshould swap cities and villain ; they could easy defeat each other ’s foes in arcminute , if not sooner .
