Ready For War: 20 Batman Vs. Superman Covers
Superheroes aren't always super friends. Mind control, trickery or plain old miscommunication have caused plenty of caped titans to punch it out over the past seven-plus decades of comic book stories -- and Batman and Superman are no exception. Heck, their on-again, off-again friendship has become a big enough deal to inspire a whole feature film -- "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." In Zack Snyder's 2016 follow-up to "Man of Steel," these two iconic heroes will engage in the most public brawl of their fictional lives.
