A trio of pretty good Superman/Batman stories, the first postulating that Bruce Wayne's father, Thomas, met Jor-El on Krypton before the birth of Bruce or Kal-El. The story makes it semi-plausible, and serves as a means of exploring a few of the similarities and differences between the two heroes. The second is an oddball story with Mxyxptlk and Bat-mite settling a wager by importing cartoonish Justice Leaguers to our world. The third is a frequent premise from the old World's Finest comics, in which Superman's powers are magically transferred to Batman. A little better treatment of the idea than the old stories I remember, and one which again serves to highlight the differences between the two heroes. ( )
