Has anyone tried to imagine a version of Earth-1 in which the World's Finest Team of Superman and Batman is preeminent? This is a world in which, after beginning their partnership, Superman and Batman rarely have any solo adventures except those that eventually turn into team-up adventures of the World's Finest Team. Much of the history of this world would be written by Bob Haney, naturally.
What would this parallel Earth be called? Perhaps Earth-1WF?

I'd imagine it to be the earlier version of the world of the Super Sons. If you slightly squint during the guest appearance of Flash and Green Arrow you basically get a world where there are no other heroes besides Bruce, Bruce Jr, Clark, Clark Jr and Robin. No mention of the Titans, Supergirl, etc;. |

It's actually not that hard to imagine. The silver age Superman and Batman stories were written in such a way that you often felt there were no other heroes in the universe

In any case, the Super Sons stories are some of the best "fun" comics written from my childhood, though I only read them as hand-me-downs from my siblings and as back-issue comics. |

I agree. I think the Super Sons earth seems to be dominated by them w. Aquaman, Flash and GA and Robin of course. I was thinking the same thing. I thought maybe the Dads were active in WW II with Bruce serving w. Sgt Rock and Superman active in some capacity= possibly only as Clark at first using powers in secret. Then, by the time the sons were depicted in 70's, Brice and Clark were older than the versions we traditionally see.
Remember that League of Justice, I used? They were alt. versions of the heroes briefly made to think they were reformed versions of the Earth A Lawless League. Sandman helped them learn they had always been heroes and the deception was caused by Nightmare Wizard. Sandman freed them from the delusion and helped them get home but their home has not been shown. I thought maybe their Superman and Batman were older and their histories drew some on Haney stuff like the Bruce served with Rock story etc. Perhaps, they have Super Sons on their world?
