What if Superman’s rocket from Krypton landed in Gotham and he became Bruce Wayne aka Batman? With SPECIAL GUEST Lance from Comic Book Keepers (from DC Comics' Elseworlds: Superman - Speeding Bullets)
A rocket with the last son of Krypton lands on Earth and the child inside becomes...Batman? Join us and extra special guest and super-fan Lance from Comic Book Keepers as we cover Superman: Speeding Bullets. Kal-El is adopted by Thomas and Martha Wayne and becomes Bruce Wayne but after a fateful trip down a dark alley, a vengeful "Bruce" becomes Batman, falls in love with Lois and battles a Lex Luthor / Joker amalgam!
Ep. 89 What if Superman’s rocket from Krypton landed in Gotham and he became Bruce Wayne aka Batman?
Earth of an unknown designation (DC Comics) as seen in Superman: Speeding Bullets #1
We return to the world of DC Comic's Elseworld's by covering the first ever Superman centered Elseworlds, Superman: Speeding Bullets by J.M. DeMatteis and Eduardo Barreto. In this alternate reality, Kal-El's rocket lands in Gotham and he becomes Bruce Wayne. After a tragic meeting with Joe Chill, Bruce emerges as Batman but with the powers of Superman. Our hero tangles with a Lex Luthor / Joker hybrid, falls in love with Lois and rediscovers his humanity. We also go back to 1964 to cover World's Finest that seems Superman and Batman battle Composite Superman in an extra silly issue that includes diamond thrones, giant statues and Batman wrapped in Superman's cape. Finally, we go back to the 1990s with Superman: The Animated Series that sees Clark disguising himself as Batman in Bruce's absence and partnering with Robin. We also ponder the possibilities of what Superman and Batman crossovers we could see on the big screen.
We were thrilled to be joined by special guest and super fan, Lance from the Comic Book Keepers podcast for this trip to Gotham City and beyond. Follow Lance & Comic Book Keepers on Twitter, Instagram, and subscribe to their Podcast.
