Bleeding Cool featured a previous of the upcoming Batman/Superman comic by Gene Luen Yang, Ivan Reis and Danny Miki to show a variety of "what if?" worlds for the series, spinning out of Death Metal.

Superman/Batman or Batman/Superman has been a relatively popular series over the years, teaming DC Comics' two most popular characters up, but rarely going up against the respective solo titles, save for the initial run with Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness and Michael Turner.

In Batman #103, Clownhunter went for Harley Quinn in a big way, blaming her for the Joker's actions, something she didn't take too kindly to, let alone any responsibility.
