In a new look at Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1, Superman faces off against the villain Metallo, who uses Red Kryptonite to stop him in his tracks, injecting the hero with a serum that's sure to take him down a much more twisted path.

However, in a new World's Finest comic, Red Kryptonite, the most unpredictable and evil version of the material, is unleashed against Superman.
