What happens when two of the most iconic heroes in pop culture finally share a frame? Pure internet chaos—and artist Dan Mora just gave fans exactly that.
The DC Comics artist recently dropped a jaw-dropping piece of crossover artwork featuring none other than Superman and Goku. That’s right—the Last Son of Krypton and the Saiyan warrior from Earth, united in one glorious image that’s already lighting up fandoms across the internet.
Mora’s take is nothing short of cinematic. Superman hovers with his signature poise and raw power, while a youthful Goku stares skyward, staff in hand, as Shenron—the mythical dragon—curls behind him. It’s not just fan service; it’s a celebration of two global icons who have shaped generations of superhero storytelling, from the streets of Metropolis to the battlefields of Namek.
This isn’t an official collaboration—at least not yet. But Mora’s art has reignited the conversation: what if DC and Shueisha actually teamed up for real?
Let’s be real—fans have been debating Superman vs. Goku for decades. The power scaling, the feats, the “who would win” arguments have practically become their own genre online. But this artwork moves past the versus debate and imagines something much cooler: what if they fought together?
And it makes sense. Both heroes are aliens raised on Earth. Both fight for truth and justice. Both constantly push their limits. In different mediums—comic books and anime—they’ve defined what it means to be a hero. A team-up would break the internet, plain and simple.
For now, Mora’s art is just that—art. But it proves something we’ve always known at Comic Misfits: the line between comics and anime is thinner than ever. Collaborations like Fortnite x Dragon Ball or My Hero Academia x Marvel already exist. The idea of Superman and Goku sharing the spotlight? Not just a fan dream—maybe a future reality.
One thing’s certain: if DC and Shueisha ever make this happen, Dan Mora better be on the shortlist to draw it.
