A preview for Batman/Superman: The Authority Special reveals a Gotham controlled by one of Batman’s greatest enemies, one who took out a major team.
Batman is about to team up with Superman and the Authority for a battle beyond the Justice League’s capabilities.
In Batman/Superman: Authority Special #1, the Dark Knight turns to the Man of Steel and his new allies for help against an otherworldly threat. Far away on another Earth, the planet has been ravaged by war and the al Ghul family has vanquished the Justice Society. Batman’s only hope of stopping them from further expanding their shadowy empire lies in Superman’s new team of Multiversal heroes–but the Justice League can’t know where they’re going.
This special mission is perfectly timed for Superman, who recently left the Justice League so he could focus on a threat of his own. In the pages of Action Comics, the Man of Tomorrow has been plagued by a series of attacks from Mongul, an intergalactic tyrant who runs the battlefield planet known as Warworld. With nobody else to turn to, Superman has aligned himself with the antiestablishment team known as the Authority, who exist outside of the world’s governments and have no limits to their jurisdiction. Together, Superman and the Authority will be leaving the planet to fight Mongul in “The Warworld Saga,” starting in Action Comics #1036.
Though this adventure between Batman and Superman is a one-and-done, DC’s World’s Finest will be teaming up in a bigger capacity starting in Detective Comics #1050. Out this January, Mark Waid and Dan Mora will craft a story that DC says will be “the start of a brand-new day for Batman… and Superman.” The short is part of an oversized issue that also features the talents of Mariko Tamaki, Ivan Reis, Danny Miki, Matthew Rosenberg and Fernando Blanco, celebrating 1,050 issues of the series that gave birth to Batman.

- Following Mongul’s brazen attack on Earth, Superman’s world has been turned upside down: conflict between Atlantis and the surface world, the discovery of an immensely powerful new element, dead refugees with mysterious ties to Krypton, and expulsion from the Justice League! When Superman re-forms the experimental, antiestablishment Authority to join him in liberating Warworld, Batman comes to them with a request: join him for one unorthodox, off-the-books mission first, one he could never ask the Justice League to be a part of…and one he doesn’t expect everyone to come back from.
