Fearing the actions of a god-like SUPER HEROTM left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with BATMANTM and SUPERMANTM at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.
Established with firm Canadian roots, SUPERMANTM was the first SUPER HEROTM, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICSTM pantheon. He was the inspiration for a new archetype that not only still exists today, but is more popular than ever. Many important Canadian visionaries continue to shape the DC COMICSTM Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938.
While debate rages over whether he is a "saviour" or a "false god," SUPERMANTM has become widely known following the destruction of METROPOLISTM in Man of SteelTM. Meanwhile, BATMANTM has always preferred to remain in the shadows and rarely allows more than a fleeting glimpse of him in action; as a result, the DARK KNIGHTTM is considered a vigilante by most, and a possible myth by others. The two characters seem worlds apart—particularly when one possesses superpowers and the other relies on stealth—yet they share a common purpose in the fight for justice. The coin's reverse symbolically brings together their two logos to create a single one, which embodies both the differences and similarities between these iconic SUPER HEROESTM.
