Superbat Media Club

This is a space for Superbat fans to engage with both canon and fanon versions of Superbat, with an emphasis on engaging with their canon media.

Do you want some fellow nerds to talk to about Superbat and their canonical stories? Or do you not know much about Superbat in canon but want to start learning in a community? Are you looking for people to read or watch canon Super/Bat content with?

You’re in luck! The Superbat Media Club server will be taking the next 10 months to engage with more individual Superman or Batman media, before starting our second World’s Finest Superbat Media Marathon in February 2027 (with a brand new list of Superman and Batman teamups!).

Every month, our club will focus on two comics (one Superman, one Batman), and two non-comic media (like movies, television, the radio show, etc) that feature each of our superheroes respectively—four pieces of media total!

Have a movie with Superman and Batman you’ve never gotten around to watching? We can do a watchparty for it! Have a Superbat comic series you keep meaning to pick up? Let’s read it together! Have a very specific fic or art idea you want to make based on an obscure Superbat interaction? We’ll help you brainstorm!

You’re welcome to join us at any time, or to just hang out in the Discord while doing your own thing. Our monthly topics are suggestions for community reading/watching, but not mandatory to engage with.

Superbat Media Club is a community for reading, watching, learning, discussing, brainstorming, and creating—however that looks for you!

Join here! You can find more information about the server in this post.

Comic Arc: Legends of the Dark Knight (1989) #16-20 (Batman: Venom)

Comic Series: Superman: Up In The Sky (2019) #1-6

Movie: Batman (1943)*

Movie: Superman and the Mole Men (1951)

Continuing with our Golden Age comics from last month, we're moving on to Golden Age movies! And we love to see the boys #GoingThroughIt in fun and unusual ways which is why we went with Venom and Up In The Sky, two stories where Batman and Superman fight uphill battles (to... varying degrees of success. Sorry, Bruce.) centering around saving children.

Join us in our Discord server to read and watch with us!

It’s time for some new Super/Bat media topics, and, this month, we’re letting the Superbat Media Club decide what episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series we’ll be watching!

Voting will take place in our server over the next week and then we’ll announce the final decision. Have an absolute favorite episode? This is your time to campaign for it!

For the comics this month, we’re going back to the very beginning: the Golden Age. We’ve picked five issues each from Superman and Batman’s early years.

Golden Age Superman Comics

Superman (1939) #1

Action Comics (1938) #8

Action Comics (1938) #19

Superman (1939) #3

Action Comics (1938) #33

Bonus: Superman: The Golden Age volumes!

Golden Age Batman Comics

Detective Comics (1937) #27

Detective Comics (1937) #38

Batman (1940) #1

Batman (1940) #5

Detective Comics (1937) #63

Bonus: Batman: The Golden Age volumes!

This list of comics can be found on League of Comic Geeks.

(Descriptions of each comic issue under the cut.)

Comic Arc: Batman (1940) #404-407 (Batman: Year One)

Comic Series: Superman for All Seasons (1998) #1-4

Movie: Superman (1978)

Movie: Batman (1989)

We’ll be starting with the classics! Batman: Year One and Superman for All Seasons are both four issues focusing on Bruce and Clark’s early adventures in their superhero careers. They’re great standalones and introductions to their post-crisis stories.

And two of the most defining live-action superhero movies in the genre! Superman (1978) features Christopher Reeve’s debut as Superman. Batman (1989) directed by Tim Burton has Michael Keaton as Batman.

We’ve loved seeing everyone engage with canon Superbat. Hopefully, this event has shown you new Superbat stories you weren’t aware of, reminded you to revisit some old ones, or just given you a space to yap about Superbat and have fun with us!

Show us your finished bingo boards with every square you’ve checked off from February 1 to March 31! You can use the tag #superbatmediamarathon and tag us here on Tumblr in a post, put it in the reblogs of this post, or join our Discord server and share it there! Here's a blank one:

We officially have two weeks left of the Superbat Media Marathon 2026. Time to sprint to the finish line—read a few more issues, watch a few more episodes, join our Discord streams for one more movie!

(For those of you new to the event, you can find our bingo board and how it works here.)

Some resources to help make your bingo journey smoother:

Our detailed guide that walks you through each piece of media and where to access it.

Our Google Drive folder that has a copy of every single item if you need easy access to any (or all) of them!

This (unfortunately very giant) randomizer of all the items on the board so you don’t have to choose what square to cross off.

League of Comic Geeks list of all the comics on our board so you can keep track of your progress.

Don’t forget to share your final bingo boards on Tumblr (tag us and use the #superbatmediamarathon tag!) or in our Discord server. We want to see what y’all’ve gotten up to in these past two months!

While the event officially ends on March 31, all of these resources will still be around! You’re welcome to continue going through the bingo at your own pace, as well as continuing discussions in our Discord server where our forum posts will remain open for anyone to use.

It’s been so exciting watching everyone engage with our event and we’re super proud of it and all of our participants!

If you’re still looking for people to read or watch canon Super/Bat content with, don’t worry, the Superbat Media Club will still be up and running! While we won’t be focusing on Superbat teamups, we’ll be taking the next 10 months to engage with more individual Superman or Batman media, before starting our second World’s Finest Superbat Media Marathon in February 2027 (with a brand new list of Superman and Batman teamups!).

Revealing the bingo board for the Superbat Media Marathon 2026!

Every single piece of media here has been compiled by certified Superbat Lovers for some of their favorite interactions between Superman and Batman. Any catch your eye? Any you want to find out more about? Join our marathon that ends on March 31 and starts NOW!!!

You can read and watch as much or as little as you want, either just to get one bingo, or to try and fill out the entire board. All of these are beginner-friendly and standalone, though they vary in length. Squares should only be crossed off if you (re)visit them in these two months, but take your time! Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint!

If the list feels overwhelming, don’t worry! We’ve created a guide to accessing and understanding all of the media on the board, which you can find here. Not sure what the hell the differences between pre- or post-crisis are or where to find a comic to read? We’ve explained it all in excruciating detail.

You can find out more about how the event works here. Our tumblr asks and discord server are always open for questions!

(A list of the media on this board is provided in the linked guide and below the cut.)

Do you want to watch the STAS: World’s Finest crossover or Superman/Batman: Public Enemies with a gang of likeminded nerds? Or read Clark and Bruce’s very first meeting in comics history? Have you been meaning to read Clark and Bruce’s original World’s Finest comic series or try out the smaller miniseries that came after the Post-Crisis reboot?

These five stories and several more will be featured in the Superbat Media Marathon—here’s a sneak peak! This bingo board will be the focus of the two month long marathon, in which you’ll read, watch, or listen to media on the board, and then (if you’re feeling social) come talk about them with others in the Superbat Media Club discord or on tumblr. For more information, check out our event summary.

We’ll release the full bingo board on February 1. Stay tuned!

An event geared towards getting fans—new and old—engaged in Superbat’s canonical media with a bingo-style marathon!

Are you a fan of Superbat who’s been wanting to get into comics, but feel overwhelmed about where to start? Want to watch shows or movies featuring strangely homoerotic moments between Superman and Batman? Curious about the Superman radio show? Looking to revisit various canon Superbat interactions and have some people to yap about them with? Then this event is for you!

How does it work?

We’ve compiled a list of 24 interactions between Bruce and Clark in canon on a bingo board, from comic issues and arcs to animated shows and movies (and even the Superman radio show!). They’re all beginner-friendly, standalone, and fun to revisit if you’ve seen them already!

On February 1, we released the bingo board and an accompanying guide to understand how to access comics and shows, what comic continuities mean, and more. Until March 31, you’re welcome to try and hit every single square, aim for a bingo, or even get just one square crossed off—read/watch as little or as much as you want!

Who can participate and where?

This event is open to everyone: from beginners who haven't engaged with canon before to more experienced readers who have been looking to reread or rewatch canon and discuss it in community.

The Superbat Media Club Discord server will be hosting watchparties, comic readalongs, and forum discussions for anyone to jump in and out of, but joining our discord isn’t required for participation! You can also participate on Tumblr by posting discussions and liveblogs with the tag #superbatmediamarathon or be a silent participant.

What if I’ve already read/watched/listened to something on the list? Can I mark it?

These bingo boards are for the squares you’ve checked during the marathon from February 1 to March 31. You’ll have to revisit it to mark it off, but we’re using the honor system here. If you wanna cheat, we ain’t gonna catch you.

This is a space for Superbat fans to engage with both canon and fanon versions of Superbat, with an emphasis on engaging with their canon media.

Do you have a soft spot for their various comic series together, like World’s Finest (1941) (1990) (1999) (2022) or Superman/Batman (2003) or Batman/Superman (2013)? Do you enjoy their crossover in Superman: The Animated Series or their episodes in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows? Are you fascinated by their dynamics in the DCEU or DCAMU or the LEGO Movies?

Do you want some fellow nerds to talk to about Superbat and their canonical stories? Or do you not know much about Superbat in canon but want to start learning in a community? If so, this server is for you!

Have a movie with Superman and Batman you’ve never gotten around to watching? We can do a watchparty for it! Have a Superbat comic series you keep meaning to pick up? Let’s read it together! Have a very specific fic or art idea you want to make based on an obscure Superbat interaction? We’ll help you brainstorm!

Who Can Join the Superbat Media Club?

Anyone can apply to join the Superbat Media Club server!

The extent of the application is through Discord itself. You simply have to agree to the rules and answer a simple question about your experience with canon DC media (beginners are always welcome, you’re not being graded!). This application is mostly to reduce an influx of spam or bots, and to make sure you’ll respect the environment of the server.

Our rules are as follows:

No bigotry allowed. First and foremost, this is a space that forbids racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, antisemitism, fatphobia, antiblackness, transmisogyny, and other forms of oppression.

Be mindful of what you’re saying and where. Be sure to censor (|| on both sides of your message) commonly triggering topics in general/non-dark chats. Examples: weight loss, family death, insect images.

Be respectful of every community member. Different opinions, lived experiences, and active discussions are encouraged, but putting people down for sharing their own harmless ideas is not. No kinkshaming, ship bashing, harassment, conversation derailing, or inflammatory insults allowed.

Focus on conflict resolution. Problems will be addressed and conflict won’t be ignored. Resolve conflict by treating others in good faith and speaking up about problems.

No generative AI allowed at all.

All works shared should link back to a creator.
