This story takes place on an unnamed parallel Earth. On this Earth Bruce Wayne looks like Clark Kent and is Superman. Vicki Vale looks like Lois Lane. Batman does not exist. The Earth-1 Superman does not appear in this story.

Synopsis:
Batman is forced to crash land the Batplane during a lightning storm. When he returns to Gotham City no one remembers him. He also discovers that certain things are different. Bruce Wayne is really Superman and lives with Robin and Alfred; Vicki Vale looks like Lois Lane; and the Joker is a TV comic.

Batman’s behavior causes Superman and Commissioner Gordon to think he is a criminal, so he is hunted. He eventually proves himself by helping Superman rescue Robin. After relating his story to Superman, the Man of Steel reasons that Batman has been on a parallel Earth. Then he sends Batman to his own dimension, where he belongs.
