Just as with previous issues of Batman/Superman: World's Finest, joining Nicolas Cage, Paul McCartney, Jack White, and Jerry Seinfeld, so DC Comics has arranged for William Shatner to pop by the cover – or pay him off – with Batman and Superman for Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25, an oversized anniversary issue with the first meeting between the Joker and Lex Luthor. And published on the 19th of March 2024.

"This March, join DC in celebrating a storytelling milestone with an oversized anniversary issue of Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25! In the hands of iconic writer Mark Waid and fan-favorite artist Dan Mora, the Man of Steel and The Dark Knight have fought interdimensional demons, allied with other DC Super Heroes, and traveled across the DC multiverse. In a special lead-in story for this landmark issue, Waid and Mora will at last highlight the first meeting between The Joker and Lex Luthor. With the two preeminent DC Super-Villains joining forces, Batman and Superman are in for BIG trouble!
