KINGDOM COME, BATMAN: RED RAIN (Bats becomes a vampire), SUPERMAN: SPEEDING BULLET. (Superman grows up as Bruce Wayne instead of as Clark Kent). KINGDOM COME features the Justice League in a near future scenario where a new breed of heroes become too aggressive, and Superman and the Justice League step in to set things right. There's a lot more to this story, and the fight scene between Capt. Marvel and Superman is worth the price alone! Great story, great art! also, BATMAN; GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT is great, and features Mike Mignola's artwork (Hellboy creator/artist). Good luck!

Batman " speeding bullet" Superman Red Son
Without ruining the ending Bullets looks at what if the Rocket from Krypton had landed outside Gotham City. While Red Son looks at what if Superman had landed in the Soviet Union. Both are excellent reads. You might also want to check out Kingdom Come a story about the possible future of our heroes.

Gotham by Gaslight is one of my favorites. It's Batman set in Gotham of the Victorian era (his parents were killed by a highwayman just after the Civil War) and Batman fights Jack the Ripper.
