Still from the fan film World's Finest (2004), which was presented as a trailer for a non-existent feature.

It was directed by Sandy Collora, and starred Mike O'Hearn as Superman/Clark Kent, with Clark Bartram returning as Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Bartram had portrayed Batman the previous year in Collora's short Batman: Dead End, wherein the Caped Crusader took on the Joker and a Predator, before finding himself surrounded by more Predators AND xenomorphs from the Alien franchise.

This was a follow-up to Collora’s fan film Batman: Dead End, which premiered the previous year at San Diego Comic Con.

Batman: Dead End was a short film that had Batman battling the Joker, Aliens, and Predators, before ending with a cliffhanger.

World’s Finest, on the other hand, was a trailer for a feature film (which, unfortunately, was never made) wherein Superman and Batman team-up to take on President Lex Luthor (this is when he was still president in the comics) and Two-Face.

Despite an absolutely minuscule budget, World’s Finest is 1,000 times better than the dreadful Superman and Batman film Warner Brothers finally gave us 12 years later.

BEHIND THE MASK – THE BATMAN: DEAD END STORY

BEHIND THE MASK – THE BATMAN: DEAD END STORY REVIEWED “Behind the Mask” is so good, that it’s depressing. By that, I mean it’s hard to look at an incredible talent who ultimately failed to connect to the mainstream. Batman: Dead End director Sandy Collora was supposed to be huge. Hell, he raised the bar for fan films with an eye unmatched by his fellow filmmakers. The film is almost 15 years old…
