With the launch of Greg Pak and Jae Lee’s Batman/Superman today, the earliest meeting of the World’s Finest is being told again, for the first time in the New 52. We get a version of Batman with a less-techy costume; we get Superman in his jeans and t-shirt; we get Bruce Wayne playing at being a homeless man, watching children fight.And, along the way, they find themselves transported through space and time, and there’s a hugely unexpected guest star.Spoilers on from here on out, folks – we’ve done what we can to ensure it will be after the ad break before we say anything much.After spending the first chunk of the issue thinking back on his childhood in Smallville, Superman finds himself actually transported there–he thinks by Batman–and face-to-face with another version of Batman, who immediately sets upon him with Kryptonite. The whole thing would be very confusing if it weren’t for the fact that Pak has already established that the first arc takes us to Earth Two.
