Earth-349 Stories
The
Stories
Okay, here's something a little different. Here we have a series of stories
written by Anton Psychopoulos, Ph.D. (a.k.a. "Dr. Psycho"), inspired
by the story from Superman
#349 in which Mr. Mxyzptlk imprisons Superman on an alternate Earth where
everyone is of the opposite gender. This parallel world was never given a name
in the comic, but in honor of the issue number (and no doubt with a nod to the
old Earth-2 stories in the Silver Age DC comics), the good Doctor has christened
this version "Earth-349."
As the disclaimers state, the stories are inspired by the original Superman
story, but not limited by it, so you may notice some interesting twists on the
heroes in addition to the gender switch. (And for that matter, a few appearances
by some Marvel heroes, too.) So if you're heavily into character and story continuity
this may not be for you. But if you're intersted in seeing some fun (and occasionally
racy) pre-Crisis gender-switched DC heroines, look no further. 
The Artwork
While I'm on the subject of giving credit, I also wanted to take the opportunity
to recognize Adam Walters for allowing me to use his artwork on a number of
these images. The pictures themselves were created by me from by blending artwork
from a variety of comics, but Adam's artwork filled in for many "missing"
heroines, such as the Atom, the Spectre, the Human Torch and Aquawoman. (I also
co-opted the image of the Flash in the JLA image from the work of Jeff Whiting,
another terrific artist.)

Earth-349: Batwoman
Submitted by Anton Psychopoulos, Ph.D.
In this story, we're introduced to Batwoman, the dark defender of Gotham
City on Earth-349. (And yes, in answer to your next question, Robin is
still male. But look on the bright side: this way, having a male teenage
sidekick isn't quite so unintentionally funny.)
