There's a reason why Batman and Superman are called the World's Finest. They're one of the most iconic pairs in not just DC Comics, but American fiction, just generally. And as much as I love The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel working together, Frank Miller doesn't share the same enthusiasm towards this duo. 

At ComicsPRO 2026, the writer of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns addressed why he had Batman and Superman fight in the story. And he made it clear that he's had qualms with the World's Finest since his earliest days on this Earth. 

"When I was a child, and I would see World's Finest Comics come out, even then I'd say, 'This is crazy, these guys would never like each other.' And I knew I could build toward the crescendo of the animus between them [in The Dark Knight Returns]," Miller said. 

Now, I can't get that image of a smaller, child version of Frank Miller (fedora included, of course) seeing an adorable World's Finest Comics cover, and just absolutely seething with every fiber of his being. I wasn't a child at the same time that Frank Miller was, and that's probably a good thing, because we definitely would have been beefing on the playground.
