Synopsis:
Perry White and Commissioner Gordon visit Superman's Fortress of Solitude and the Bat-Cave, so that Perry can complete a series of articles about the foes of Superman and Batman. After the visit two costumed villains Anti-Superman and Anti-Batman challenge the World's Finest team. Anti-Superman possesses Superman's powers and threatens his counterpart with Gold Kryptonite. Anti-Batman knows all of Batman's secrets with the exception of his secret identity.

Batman eventually deduces that the villains are really Perry and Gordon under the influence of alien gas X-22. Batman lures them into a trap where Superman can deliver the antidote. Perry and Gordon return to normal and explain that they were exposed to the gas in Superman's Fortress. Perry also uses a machine to give himself temporary super powers.
