And I can't think of a fifth.

My least favorite "Elseworlds" is All-Star Batman and Robin, even though it technically doesn't carry the imprint.

yeah I guess I would consider any of the all star comics an elseworlds. They function much like the elseworlds titles.... Superman and the Batman and Robin all star comics aren't even in the same continuity I don't think

No, the all-stars are two seperate continuities.

And dude, we've got the same top three! lol

The Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Haunted Knight aren't Elseworlds titles

3. Superman: Red Son
4. Justice: Vol 3

I haven't read it, and I honestly don't wish to. The first part ended exactly where it should have and there was no need for Millar to mess things up with a sequal lol

I like Superman: Speeding Bullets the best. It is a really nice "what if" cross over book.
