DC doubled down on their popularity by giving them a whole extra book to share, World’s Finest, and even then, every issue was an anthology featuring one solo Batman story and one solo Superman story. And they were both huge before that idea began to take form. The thing about Batman and Superman is that they predate the idea of a shared superhero universe. The time Batman and Superman met on a double-booked cruise Nothing to report except that Superman and Batman sure did meet each other, and they sure did foil a crime of some sort. We’ve seen it in movies, and in modern comics. It’s easy to assume that these rules would also apply to the Original First meeting between Batman and Superman. Yep, this is literally the first appearance of the symbiote. Original Firsts like the Venom symbiote’s first appearance don’t reflect their later importance because they were intended to be mundane, and their importance was retroactively created later, by other creatives. Original Firsts like Wolverine’s debut don’t reflect their later importance because nobody could have known that they were going to be important in the first place. The Venom symbiote was an alternate costume from a weird head dome in a space building. Darkseid’s first appearance was in an issue of Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. In Wolverine’s first appearance, he was just a Canadian operative trying to take down the Hulk. At best, these moments are low key in an ironic way, given how important they became later on.
