PHILADELPHIA: DC Comics reunites two of its heaviest hitters on one title. Batman and Superman return to an ongoing monthly title with "Batman/Superman" written by Greg Pak with art by Jae Lee. The series will focus on telling the definitive story of how the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight first crossed paths in the New 52 DC Universe.

''Batman/Superman'' is set to debut in June and will be written Greg Pak and illustrated by Jae Lee.

Pak says DC is giving he and Lee ''some real leeway to do some really important storytelling'' in the series that will give readers the opportunity to delve deep into the characters, their interaction and the effects on the wider New 52 universe.

The two characters have been a part of DC since the late 1930s. DC Comics is owned by Time Warner
