Batman and Superman spend the night together.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This is from World's Finest Comics #289. It's written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Adrian Gonzales. The cover is by Gil Kane.


Batman is upset when he is unable to save a mugging victim.


Meanwhile, Superman saves some rock climbers from getting flattened by a giant boulder. He overhears the climbers react in wonder, and feels depressed at how his world is destroyed and that he's alone.

Later in the batcave, a depressed Batman asks Alfred to leave him alone.










Then they deal with these weird tentacle aliens.

...There is really nothing I could say that could possibly make this better. It's purest not-from-concentrate hurt/comfort, now in conveniently canon form!

Last time I saw this posted (on the old SD?), I couldn't even read the whole thing. I still can't.

The tender hand holding. The extensive emo-ing. The touch of Clark's hand lending comfort to Bruce's aching heart. The "physical linkage!" Gah!

It's like reading some young teenager's bad slash fic and realizing they ship Clark/Bruce so seriously that it's actually a little bit creepy for me.

From the front cover:
Can Superman defeat BATZILLA?

Alternate punchline:
Batman enjoys his toy model of Metropolis -- with flying Superman figurine included!

This is like...it is exactly what it is. Unbelievable. Especially when the tentacles show up.

Yeah, it was touch-and-go until the tentacle monsters showed up. But the fact the story ends with them embracing each other in the warmth of the fortress, you can't believe this take on their relationship wasn't meant any other way. It's only subtext if it's subtle, right?

Man I haven't seen such blatent sub-text, (that was so obvious that it shouldn't even call itself that) since I read The Portrait of Dorian Grey. And Oscar Wilde was really laying it on thick in that novel..

But this..Jeez I was always thought people around here were reading too much into Supes/Bats, but after this..Can't say I have any doubts there anymore..

YUCK! The tentacle aliens are freaking me out so bad.

Just keep staring at Duck and Fakir until I feel better.

I really wanted to comment on this without addressing the massive amounts of subtext- maybe talk about the pretty art or something, because it is lovely- but I can't. I just keep scrolling up and reading it over again and gawking. Except even in the face of the handholding, the crying, the phallic imagery, (Oh, the phallic imagery) the off-panel embrace and the purple-prose grade narrative ("World of profound empathy?" Really?) and the cathartic bonding, I keep coming back to "Yes... Somehow I knew."

Pull at my heartstrings more, why don't you, Clark. God.

Who needs subtext? All I need is that image of Batman screaming "NOOOOOOO!"

By the way, in real life, have you ever, EVER heard someone exclaim "No" that way?

Page 9, panel 6. Superman touches Batman's ass. "The sheer, shrieking emotion" indeed!

"Awkward groping...intimate questing...tentative undulations...bizzare mating ritual...resulting in a psychic synergy."

What? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GIANT PENISES, OKAY?

No, not those giant penises either. Honestly, what do you think the World's Finest are - GAY?

brb, lolling forever.

This is so pre-Crisis. The way he speaks of "the Kents," like he was a guest or foster child. Alien, godlike Superman is something I don't miss.

This ... is this real? Was this a real comic book, or has someone (very artfully) spoofed this?

Because if it's real, my childhood has just run away shrieking, and I'm so grossed out I may have to bleach my brain... :-s

I just realized that, underneath the Silver Age esthetic veneer, the concept of the key to the Fortress of Solitude makes a lot of sense.

Still love the goofy giant gold key.

The cave, the fortress, and ... oops! Not going there. M-m-must ... not say it!
