When Superman debuted seventy-five years ago, it was not merely the beginning for one character, but for an entire genre. The phrase "super hero" had yet to be coined when ACTION COMICS #1 hit newsstands in 1938, but once Superman entered the scene, effortlessly lifting a car above his head on that first iconic cover, the character paved the way for each of the hundreds (if not thousands) of super-powered heroes written since.

is a 9-part crossover storyline that appeared in DC Comics' then-ongoing Superman titles from September to October 2000, and written and drawn by many established names in comics, among them Jeph Loeb, J.M. DeMatteis, Mark Schultz, Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, Mike Miller, Doug Mahnke, Kano, etc. It is actually composed of two 4-part sub-storylines, "Superman: Arkham" followed by "Superman: The Reign of Emperor Joker", connected in the middle by the one-shot special titled , which is also the title of the collected issues released as a trade paperback much later in January 2007. The storyline in essence is this: Batman's archenemy The Joker is accidentally given nigh-unlimited reality-shaping powers by that imp from the 5th dimension, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and he reshapes the universe in his image which then becomes topsy-turvy to say the least; so it's up to Earth's greatest, and most confused heroes to stop him before he destroys all of existence.

This trade paperback (TPB) collects "Reign of the Supermen" and concludes the epic story begun in and continued in , originally published in single comics magazine form by DC Comics as , , , and . This massive book is the finale to the saga of the death and rebirth of Superman, including the final fate of the four impostors who attempted to take his place, including Steel and Superboy. This is a definitive volume for all fans of Superman.
