13 COVERS: BATMAN AND SUPERMAN in the BRONZE AGE

Things get a little weird.

It’s BATMAN/SUPERMAN WEEK! Why? Because there’s a movie coming out that a lot of people are already complaining about!

But we still love the Caped Crusader and the Metropolis Marvel! Check out the complete BATMAN/SUPERMAN WEEK Index here!

Things started to kind of get odd in the Bronze Age. There aren’t too many memorable stories other than the Super-Sons and by the mid-’80s the whole Batman-Superman team-up concept was kinda played out. It makes sense that DC put the book on the spike when Crisis on Infinite Earths rolled around. But, hey, some big-time artists still did some covers …

(My standard caveat: This is a subjective list and not a ranking of any kind. This is pretty much what I dig and you may feel very differently. So, rather than beef about a cover you don’t see, instead join in the fun and share your own choices in the comments section or in whatever social-media thread you saw this.)
