With Superman Returns out in the US and opening in the UK in a few days, you're likely to be overloaded with Superman hype. But just in case you want more superhero action, DC Comics and Titan Books have a range of new titles now available featuring the Man of Steel, Batman and your other favourite DC heroes.

Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee are two unique talents, and while both Lee and Azzarello's work on Batman have earned them five star ratings on this site, the thought of them working together on a Superman story is clearly something to get excited about. Be warned though, Superman: For Tomorrow Volume One is only the first of a two part series.

Superman also features heavily in JLA: The Greatest Stories Ever Told, which reprints eight classic superteam yarns from 1963 through to 2002; and the paperback edition of Bizarro World, which sees some of comics finest 'alternative' cartoonists have their wicked way with DC's characters.

Batman fans can revel in Batman: War Crimes, the follow up to War Drums and War Games; or Batman: Dark Detective, which brings back a creative team from the seventies to pull out all the stops and create a classic Batman yarn.
