Friday Night Fights--Skynet Style!!

Sometimes, you have to yield to the inevitability that mankind will be destroyed by machine intelligences. And I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords!!

Which brings us to this week's Friday Night Fight. Apparently having apparently gone nuts, Superman has been kidnapping people in some unnamed chunk of Middle Eastern desert, and forcing them to dig up an ancient tomb.

Naturally, this leads Batman to investigate:

And the big reveal?

Yes, it's a Superman robot, who was struck by lightning and gained sentience...and a thirst to put down Kal-El!!

So it's on...and Superman obviously has the upper hand, right?

But just then, Superman is hit a mysterious blast of red sun energy (don't ask):

OK, OK, since you asked, it came from an insane space mummy with a miniature red sun for a head. No, I'm not making that up. And that substantially evens the odds:

Can Batman help??

Nope.

And so Superman Robot 15 defeated all heroes on Earth, and hooked them up to an energy Matrix, while creating more self-aware machines out of liquid metal, and removing the mouths of all humans so they cannot scream, and...

What? Superman and Batman recovered and defeated the robot? We weren't all subjugated by the machines?

Never mind. Boy, I bet Spacebooger's disappointed...

The near robot apocalypse was brought to you by Denny O'Neill, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella in World's Finest #202 (1971).

Now, there's a lot more more to discuss in this comic. So if you're really nice and vote for me, maybe I'll show you, amongst other things, Batman in a dune buggy. So go vote!
