The previous issue of Superman/Batman found The Man of Steel going head to head with the Prankster who shrunk our hero and is stranded in a microscopic world called Nanopolis. Time in this world moves differently and although it appears Superman has only been missing for a few hours, on Nanopolis it has been two months. Our hero soon encounters hostile machines and must fight for his life.
With the assistance of John Henry Irons, formerly known as Steel, Batman is shrunk to microscopic size ( along with his sub) and is on a rescue mission. After crash landing he is helped by locals who claim The Dark Knight's arrival was prophesied long ago. The Nomads have been waiting for a savior who would "match the metal ones power". They help Batman in tracking Superman's location but when Bruce finds him it appears to be too late.
Issue #59 will conclude this three part story written by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Mike Johnson. The pencils are done by superstar artist Whilce Portacio (BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL) and are pleasing to the eye. Find out what happens when #59 hits store shelves April 29!
