Stories

The Danger of the Deadly Duo! · 17 pages
Years ago, Joker XIX killed Batman XIX and most of his family. Luckily, Batman's infant son, Bron Wayn E7705, was not present. When the Joker XX began his career, there was no Batman to stop him, so Superman became his arch-enemy. When he became an adult, Bron discovered his family secret at Wayn Manor on the asteroid Baltorr. He became the latest Batman, and vowed to find his family's killer. When Muto teams up with the Joker in 2967, Batman and Superman join forces to stop them.
