Type: ElseworldsSuperman has was barely amounts to a cameo in this Elseworld graphic novel taking place in the 1930s when he makes a special public appearance at the World's Fair with FDR as Bruce Wayne - Detective No.27 - fights the bad guy over their heads to prevent him from dropping fear-inducing spores on the president. This is obviously before Superman got his full range of powers because he never notices and flies off, leaving Roosevelt in danger.

Bruce Wayne's opinion of the strongman in tights? "That fellow should be pitied, not costumed and paraded before these gawkers like some Tod Browning freak of nature."

No World's Finest then.
