That's why my favorite Elseworlds is the Teen Titans: Scissor Paper Stone story Adam Warren did. The basic story is that in the distant future there's a giant unstoppable threat approaching humanity and a witch with the power to make any kind of belief structure "true" takes it on herself to try and stop it. In an inspired moment, she decides that since superheroes always win, why not try to emulate one of the ancient teams? She's kind of like Raven after all. So she collects a teenage girl who, after he body was horribly burned in a fire, has her mind put into a military android, a corpse that has it's nervous system possessed an energy alien, and her boyfriend with Batman's brain. With her rough Teen Titans in place they go and fight the good fight and save the day but only after countless destruction and her boyfriend/Batman has to sacrifice himself.

It's full of Adam Warren manga fight scenes and dialog and is just generally a joy to look at and read. But my favorite part is the last few panels.
