None correct so far, but thoth's ideas are pretty close. DC Comics Presents's last issue guest was someone (or someones) who were very connected to Superman, and while Joker wasn't the guest - or the villain - in the B&B finale, a Joker (hint there) appears in the story.

B&B: no idea but - it wasn;t that whatever happened equivalent story? Did it have a mystical character like Phantom Stranger?
DCP: Has Supergirl been eliminated - sorry poor choice of words - this wasn't the story where Supes finds out that his cousin had been secretly married on an alien world?

B & B - Not a "Whatever Happened" equivalent. The Phantom Stranger did not appear.
DCP - Supergirl had not been eliminated, but I'll say now that it wasn't her, and it is not a story in which he finds out she was secretly married on an alien world.

DCP - The last issue would have been a decent while after Kara's death, and that little rush to get in a few last adventures. Lois was going to be my next guess. I remember a late one with Captain Atom. Memorable as this was post Crisis, but before Cap's relaunch. Not very Superman though, so I'll guess The Kent's.

B&B - With the clue of a Joker, and with this being earlier than Crisis, I'll go with the Huntress, reminding Earth-1 Batman of her dead father. The Huntress had a Levitz back up series for quite a while.

DCP - Not the Kents
B&B - Huntress is very close

Sorry, Ibby, I guess I did miss it. Neither is correct, though.

Not Earth-2 Robin, but again, very close, like Huntress.

OK, I'm going to simplify this. I thought this was an era that posters here had a lot of knowledge about, but perhaps this was too obscure.

DCCP - The final issue was a Pre-Crisis tale featuring Superman and the Phantom Zone Villains. It was sort of a last tale of the Phantom Zone, about how Jor-El's exiling of criminals to there affected the original inhabitant.

As for B & B, I'll still wait for someone to get the right answer. But I'll throw out a hint - the co-star was actually deceased in the present (as of that issue) time, the "team up" was really more of a parallel story.

Ah, the Phantom Zone! I might have got there, in time to watch Lar get freed from it smile Definitely in keeping with the move to Byrne's version. A nice we'd off concept.

B&B could well be Earth-2 Batman. He died in the late 70s on Earth-2.

That's the correct answer! The final issue was Earth-1 Batman and Earth-2 Batman. The Earth-2 Batman portion was an adventure that took place in the Golden Age (and illustrated appropriately in the style of the era) against a newly-created period villain, who fell into a coma at the end of the adventure. He woke up in the present day as an old man in prison hospital and was informed by an aged Earth-2 Joker that Batman was dead. He somehow took over the mind of his Earth-1 counterpart (I don't remember exactly how he was able to do that), a fine, upstanding citizen, in order to get his revenge against Batman (albeit the Batman of Earth-1).

Oh so the last DCP was that Phantom Zone story. I think I read it in a TPB collection of Phantom Zone stories.

I remember the B&B cover now I have looked it up but not the story at all. Sounds crazy but also with potential.

Good question CMK.

Yay!

Thanks for the tip that the character was deceased at that time CMK! I was guess everyone around him, because of that point. Good question. I read a lot of '80s DC, but those are 2 I don;t think I've read.

New Q shortly...

I didn't get to this thread in Time. I remember B&B 200 with the two Batman (and the BatO preview) but I don't think I would have gotten the Phantom Zone Criminals from DCP even though I skimmed through it about a month ago. I own physical copies of both.

All good guesses. A character closer to Swamp Thing, but with at least one main similarity to Amethyst.
