After the overwhelming success and positive fan reception afforded the Timm/Dini animated adaptation of Batman, the pair turned their considerable talents (as well as most of their animation team) to the other pillar of the DC Universe: the Man of Steel. Their animated adventures of Superman never really reached quite the same level of praise from fans, but was still an excellent take on Earth's resident Kryptonian. Given the popularity of both characters, it was a natural that the creative team would eventually attempt to pair the two characters for a storyline. The result was a four-part story arc in the Superman series entitled "World's Finest," in homage to the original series of the 60s and the resurgent limited run in the 90s, that paired the duo with their most infamous villains, Joker and Lex Luthor.
