World's Finest is a 2004 fan film made by Sandy Collora. It is in a fashion the sequel to Collora's 2003 fan film Batman: Dead End. Since it is a fan film, it was not allowed to be sold at a profit and was thus distributed for free on the internet.

The film itself is actually a trailer for a "World's Finest" movie; however, there is no such movie intended or made. The film features DC Comics characters Batman and Superman, along with several other DC Universe characters, such as Lois Lane, Two-Face, and Lex Luthor. It is intended to demonstrate the possibility of such a movie in the future, and to pay homage to the iconic nature of the characters.

The title is derived from World's Finest Comics, a series published by DC Comics from 1941 to 1986 that for most of its run featured stories teaming Superman and Batman.

Some small elements of the plot (the love triangle between Lois, Bruce, and Clark for instance) may have been inspired by Bruce Timm's three-part episode, World's Finest. In addition, some of the lines are taken from Paul Dini and Alex Ross' JLA: Truth and Justice comic. The plot for the 'movie' seems to be largely based on the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies series published by DC.
