Artist's Comments

Taking a break from the DFC previews to bring you an alternate art for vs system card (DOR-165) World's Finest.

Original artwork by the very talented Ed McGuinness from the pages of Superman/Batman.

I found an article on Ain't It Cool News (here) saying that after Green Lantern: First Flight comes out, the next animated movie will be Superman/Batman from the Public Enemies story arch written by (personal favorite) Jeph Loeb.

I found the trailer on YouTube (here), check it out. The animation style is even similar to Ed McGuinness's artwork from the comics. Awesomeness!

The story?
"United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a
kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty
on the heads of the Man of Steel and his "partner in crime" Batman."

In the comics the initial team that's set out to take down Superman and Batman are:
-Major Force
-Captain Adam
-Black Lightning
-Power Girl
-Kitana

In the trailer I spotted:
Major Force and Kitana as part of that team.

Of course once the World's Finest take down that team and go after Luthor, they encounter a whole slew of villains bent on taking the bounty for their takedown. In the trailer you can spot:
-Black Manta
-Giganta
-Copperhead
-Brimstone
-Catman (person fav)
-Solomon Grundy
-Silver Banshee
-Bane
-Metallo

In the comics the JSA sends Captain Marvel and Hawkman to stop the Dark Knight and Man of Steel and I'm really hoping that happens in the movie, cuz a few pannels doesn't do that fight justice.

Sure, the JLU episode Clash wet our appetite with the Big Red Cheese taking on Big Blue (watch the clip here). But I'd love to see a round 2.

But if I had to put money on it, I'd say that the two that are ultimately sent out to take down our heroes will be their greatest enemies (at least in the cartoons):
Bane and Metallo

But I'd love to hear what you think...

Enjoy :D

Why Worlds Finest wasn't specifically for teaming up Team Superman and Gotham Knights I do not know...

You make a point, now I'm all out of arguments. Looks like you win this discus-SURPRISE PILEDRIVER!
:iconicejaw19:
Heck yeah!

The story just goes to show you that even if the whole world is against you, a ton of villains, and even a few heroes...

Batman and Superman can still prevail!
:iconicejaw19:
It would've been nice if they gave a bonus for those two teams.

But it's pretty much just a generic team-up, even though Batman and Superman were in the original picture (too).

This is way to awsome!

I'm glad you think so, thanks for the comment :D
