The Oregon Convention Center was absolutely buzzing with wizards, witches, heroes and villains Friday and Saturday as Wizard World Comic Con kicked off its latest offerings in Portland.

Although Marvel's "Black Panther" was the talk of the box office this year, the hero had a scant presence on the show floor while characters like Wonder Woman and Spider-Man were wildly popular for adults and children alike.

The Man of Steel and the World's Best Detective have teamed up on several occasions, both within the pages of a number of comics and on the big screen. Is this a new dynamic duo in the making?
