Its hard to believe now, in thisage of constant comic crossovers, but there was a time when characters more-orless existed in their own worlds except, perhaps, in the pages of All Star Comics. Its probably no surprise that two of the first characters to blaze the team-up trail were the twin gods of DC: Superman and Batman. As many have pointed out ...
Writer: Gardner Fox Artist:Everett E. Hibbard This is slightly different from the other entries in this feature, but it was a necessary inclusion. Why? Because even though the characters clearly know each other in the story at this point (so not a first meeting), this is the very first time that we see Batman and Superman share the pages of a comic...
Writer: Edmond Hamilton Artist:Curt Swan The first proper meeting You never know who you might meet on holiday.

Here Bruce creates his firstcrime-fighting personality. With the...
Writer: Leo Dorfman Artist:Bob Brown More a retcon of Batmans origin than afirst meeting, this refers to Clark and Bruce having met before, but Bruce has no idea of Clarks secret identity thanks to a memory wipe. Superboy discovers the truth about the death of the Waynes and so visits Bruce, whos already fighting crime under the ominous name of The...
Writer: John Byrne Artist:John Byrne In the mid-80s, Crisis On Infinite Earths rewrote 50 years of DC continuity in one fell swoop.

Batman is chasing down Magpie when he comes face to face with Superman, who regards h...
Writer: John Byrne Artist:John Byrne This non-canonical Elseworlds story follows the lives of the young Bruce and Clark as they grow into their roles as costumed heroes. Its 1939 and Bruce Wayne is visiting the Metropolis Worlds Fayre when the Ultra-Humanite attacks. Once again its Loiss imperilment that brings Bruce and Clark together.
Writer: Geoff Johns Artist:Jim Lee One Night In Gotham stood for a good long time, but in 2011, following the cataclysmic Flashpoint storyline, DC revamped all of its titles. Controversially, out went decades of continuity, in favour of a fresh start (again). And you know what that means... Yep, another first meeting for Bats and Supes, and another...
