    Except for Darth Vader and Spiderman, I like the concept for this photoset. This is the first one of these I've seen that actually made sense considering that DC actually depicted its superheroes in WWII. Some of the execution is weak. The Batman one would work better if Batman was in a cloth costume, Spider-Man is just sort of standing there, and well Vader's saber is just awful in black and white. #superherosinwwii

    If only Superduper man did fight on the allies side. Make D-Day, El Alamein, Midway, etc, etc, etc a lot easier.

    Spidey in urban combat fits. Who doesn't need a webslinger whose spidey sense can find snipers? #superherosinwwii

    @ManchuCandidate: Actually, I believe they DID write him as fighting the Nazis in WWII but the reaction was bad, so they took him away from the war. #superherosinwwii

    I'm confused. Why would Vader be hangin' wit the Allies? Did they tell him they could save Padamame or Panda Bear or whatever the hell her name was? #superherosinwwii
