The comic book universe has always enjoyed imagining Superman and Batman together, and now they have another reason to do so. In an upcoming issue of ‘Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #35,’ set for release on January 15, 2025, fans will see the duo in a scene that adds fuel to the SuperBat shipping fire.
This issue marks the beginning of a new story arc titled ‘20,000 Leagues,’ where Superman and Batman respond to a distress signal from Atlantis, leading to a direct encounter with Aquaman and a brewing undersea conflict.
Adrián Gutiérrez continues as the series artist, bringing the characters to life in an exciting new setting. The plot thickens as the heroes discover a secret that could disrupt the peace among undersea civilizations. The anticipation for this issue is already building, promising a thrilling adventure for the iconic duo.
The ‘Sweater Weather’ variant cover series, featuring artwork by Kris Anka, is causing a buzz among fans with its winter-themed depiction of Superman and Batman.
The cover art captures a playful moment between the heroes as they relax in a makeshift hot tub outside the Fortress of Solitude. Superman, in his themed swimming trunks, uses his heat vision to heat the icy water, while Batman remains in his cowl, lounging beside him.
This steamy portrayal not only showcases them enjoying downtime together but also highlights a lighter side of their relationship, rarely explored in their typically intense superhero endeavors.
Anka’s artwork cleverly nods to a popular Vine, enhancing the humor of the scene by drawing parallels to the viral video of ‘two bros chilling in a hot tub.’ This playful connection resonates particularly well with Millennials and Gen Zers, who cherish the humor of short, quirky videos that define their online experiences.
While some might view the cover simply as a depiction of friendship, it undoubtedly provides ample material for SuperBat shippers. The intimate, relaxed setting at the world’s edge, combined with their bare-chested camaraderie, can easily be seen as having romantic undertones.
This scene will likely inspire numerous pieces of fanart and stories, enriching the community that enjoys these characters’ dynamic beyond their crime-fighting escapades.
