Pencil/Ink credits on this cover are a matter of some debate. Agreement is that everything except the Superman/Batman and Robin characters are by Swan/Kaye. There is some doubt about the Superman/Batman and Robin characters as possibly being by Win Mortimer. Win Mortimer denies having any part of this cover, so if those are Win Mortimer figures they were most likely added by paste-ups from the production department and not drawn by Win Mortimer specifically for this cover.

The version printed here is heavily altered from the original. Batman's cape, and the shadow underneath Batman have been altered. Robin's shoulders and cape are almost non-existent in this version. Superman's left hand has been redrawn, originally it was in a fist, now his fingers are extended. Also, the cover title has been re-lettered with an extra 's' added to the end, causing this version to be mis-spelled as "Battle of the Super-Heroess!".

These changed may have been first done for the World's Finest Archive volume, but that needs confirmation.
