2012 and 2013. Superman is sent by the U.S.

Batman track down his parents killer.

BATMAN: HUSH by jeph loeb (2003) Its common among


most Batman titles that the Man of Steels character
suffers from poorly written representation. However, this
is not the case in this story. During a fight with a
brainwashed Superman, Batman utters a very noteworthy
revelation: If Clark wanted to, he could use his super-
speed and squish me into the cement. But I know how

Superman/Batman team-up...except for the addition
of Wonder Woman of course! When Supergirl is
kidnapped by Darkseid, the Trinity band together to
bring Supermans cousin back home.
