February 25, 2014: Superman Meets Power Girl in "First Contact" Comic Book Crossover

Batman/Superman #8 Superman is about to meet his Kryptonian cousin from an alternate universe when "Batman/Superman" crosses over with "Worlds Finest" in the upcoming "First Contact" story that begins with tomorrow's issue #8 of the "Batman/Superman" title. Greg Pak spoke with USA Today about the story...

    In the history of Earth 2, Huntress and Power Girl watched their famous relatives perish in a war with Darkseid before being transported to Earth 1. (There's a new Batman in town in Tom Taylor's Earth 2 series, and Superman is still alive but being controlled by Darkseid.)

    Huntress turns to Batman and Superman when the extremely strong Power Girl begins to get out of control, but she's met with skepticism. Plus, even among Batman and Superman, the two heroes have been working together for some time yet still don't trust each other and see the other guy as potentially the most dangerous dude on the planet.

    There is some humor in the mix, though, Pak says. "It's always fun, for example, when someone's actually able to surprise Batman. I'll say no more.

    "Whenever you have a chance to push your main characters out of their comfort zone, you've got a good chance for a fun, involving story," the writer adds. "I also love the contrast between the men and the women, the older characters and the younger characters, and the Bat Family and the Super Family. Lots of great buttons to push and last nerves to get on."
