Now actually, that's really a kind of a cheat "Separated," isn't it? And not just because I prefer the Carmine Infantino hand to the Alex Ross hand. No, it's because the second cover comes from a set of eight DC Comics released in 2004 to salute Julius Schwartz, and each featured a homage to a former great cover of a comic Julie had worked on. In other words...yeah, that's an easy Separated at Birth.
But no, the one I really wanted to show you today is this:

Yes, who else besides the frankly marvelous Fred Hembeck could sneak in a homage to a DC book...inside a Marvel book? And click here to see Fred's inside story of the Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe book!
We here at "Separated at Birth" salute you, Fred, with a special, swirly-kneed Bull-Prize!

Nice! Note also the first page of Final Crisis #2, which cops the dialogue (although not the pose) from that cover.
Hembeck can do ANYthing! I actualy prefer the Carmine Infantino cover. Alex Ross's looks as though Barry just got an ice cube down his back.
