Hi guys, i was trying to remember and old comic (i don't remember if it was a superman or a batman comic) and the story (i think) was something like this: a boy from another planet razed razed by wayne family, murdered parents, and a masked superhero with superman powers. I remember that the mask covered all his face.
Does anyone remember something like this?
Thanx to all

It was an Elseworlds graphic novel. If I have the chance later I will look it up for you. It was really good I thought. Also I believe it was from the early to mid 90's.

I think I found it, it was an Elseworld novel:
Superman: Speeding Bullets (1993) - Superman raised by the Waynes and becoming a superpowered Batman.
Thanx Mr 50!! ;) I was beginning to think that i had dreamed that story...

I didn't think that Elseworlds book was all that good. I really like when Superman assumes Batman's identity. My favorite episode of the Superman cartoon was when Superman assumed Batman's identity (Bruce was missing) and took on the Mad Hatter and Bane. The villain behind it Bruce's disappearance was Brainiac. Of course, Superman foiled his plans. Does anyone say foiled anymore? Anyway, the Elseworlds book started off alright but then it got dumb. As a whole, the story wasn't all that good.
The problem was that it didn't actually ask or answer any real questions about this new world, all it did was merge the two characters... supporting cast and all. Same with the "Batman becomes Green Lantern" Elseworld. Joker Luthor and Joker Sinestro respectively.
What I've always wanted to see is a story where Kal-El is raised by the Wayne family and Clark Kent sees his parents killed in front of him. It might not be your typical superhero story, but it would be a hundred times more interesting.

It's "raised", not "razed". Razed means "To level to the ground; demolish".

I thought that book was quite poor. It was like they'd taken the basic concept of mixing Supes and Bats's origins and then gone through thje motions without any imagination being put into it
