Superman/Batman, also known as Batman/Superman, is a monthly American comic book series published by DC Comics and featuring the publisher's two most popular superheroes: Superman and Batman. Superman/Batman premiered in August 2003, an update of the previous series, ''World's Finest Comics (1941–1986), in which Superman and Batman regularly joined forces.
Superman/Batman'' explores the camaraderie, antagonism, and friendship between its title characters. Jeph Loeb, the series' first writer, introduced a dual-narrator technique to present the characters' often opposing viewpoints and estimations of each other, which subsequent series writers have maintained. Prior to the events of Batman and the Outsiders #1 (1983), the two iconic characters were depicted as the best of friends. Frank Miller's landmark series The Dark Knight Returns subsequently depicted the heroes as adversaries in a future timeline. This dynamic became standard with John Byrne's The Man of Steel, a Superman reboot published in 1986.
