Batman Crossovers You'd Want

[the-wolf]

Any time, any ea, any version, any company, any medium. Who would you like to see Batman team-up with or face-off against. Here's mine:

Batman vs. James Bond: I know a lot of people aren't big on this, but I like the idea that they are so identical, but with one big difference - Bond will kill without hesitation while Batman has sworn never to kill. I think the idea of going against someone so similar, rather than always looking for his opposite which has been done repeatedly, has a lot of merit. I'd like the story to be a mystery, full of intrigue, played out in exotic locales; a race across the globe where not only Batman, but Bruce Wayne as well, has to match wits, deductive skills, combat skills, gadgets, espionage skills, gambling acumen and more to beat Bond at finding something (I have no idea what - maybe the secret of the Lazarus pit). The culmination would be in Gotham, including a rip-roaring car duel between the Batmobile and the latest Q-Branch Bond car. The nemesis in this: a hostile take-over of Ra's al Ghul and Wayne Enterprises by SPECTRE. Bond vs. the League of Assassins, Checkmate vs. SPECTRE, Bruce Wayne dines with Blofeld and beautiful women galore (Bond beds Talia al Ghul and Selina Kyle?). The possibilities are endless and the action too.

WHEW! - that took a lot out of me.

Batman & Sherlock Holmes. Quite simple, the world's 2 greatest detectives need to work together to solve a murder mystery. Bruce finds a journal of Holmes that links a killing from the past with one in the present. We see the 2 detectives following a similar trail and Holmes is done in flashbacks. Slightly cliched, but I'm willing to see any sort of Batman/Holmes get-together.

Batman/100 Bullets. Why was Jim Gorson murdered? What did he discover? Batman needs to solve the mystery of the Trust and destroy the conspiracy while going to toe-to-toe against the most ruthless and efficient killers who've ever lived - the Minutmen!

All3 would be Elseworld stories, of course.

I would love to see a straight out Batman vs. Wolverine, not no Darkclaw

[Henker]

Batman vs. Midnighter. I'm sure it's already happened a few times though.

Batman would get sooo owned

[spawnonfire]

Batman/Spawn. Happened twice already but they weren't very good. The third one looked promising but it got shelved.

[md62]

Batman/Sherlock Holmes - it was done in a recent Brave & Bold TV episode & it was great.

Batman/Moon Knight - to me this is a no brainer.

The one by frank miller was awesome!


I want batman vs solid snake.

Detective 572 - not quite a crossover but the issue features Holmes, Watson etc. I think i might dig that out now.

I don't know; for being basically the scariest superhero team ever, the Authority tends to get jobbed pretty badly.

[thor25]

Batman and Reed Richards, not the fantastic four just Reed Richards, of course Doctor Doom should be involved as well, basically a confrontation of minds..

[earl]

One of my thoughts for something that would be wicked as a comic is to have a Batman detective mystery that would star the Batmen of three different eras like the Batman of Earth 1, Batman of Earth 2 and the current Batman and have the story come to a crux with all of them meeting at the solution. That Batman/Planetary One Shot kind of does that, but I think it would be even better to expand it out.


I'd love to read a Matt Wagner/ Guy Davis Batman story tied in with the Sandman of Sandman Mystery Theatre. I think if they did a series with Batman set in 1939 with the same kind of style, it would be great. They did a Batman/The Shadow story in the 70s, but it would be cool to see it also done this way or with Doc Savage.

[Sizzle]

Batman/Snakes Eyes/Storm Shadow

Batman/Jason Bourne - The Bat Conspiriacy.

[the-wolf]

Batman/Snakes Eyes/Storm Shadow

Batman/Jason Bourne - The Bat Conspiriacy.

oooohhh........the Dark Knight vs. the coolest commando and the nastiest ninja ever? I'm so on board.

[Alan2099]

I'm going with two completley different directions here.

Batman/Megaman: And I'm talking about the lighthearted fun, Brave and the Bold style Bats here.

And on the opposite side

Batman/Blade
And this one, I'd want gritty, dark, violent, depressing, and ugly. Extra points if we can work in Morbius and Dracula.

batman vs. gin rummy and ed the 3rd-you know you want it

batman/bruce lee-i could easily see bats training under him and possibly solving a mystery

batman/code geass-epic win

[Nate Grey]

Batman vs Fatherhood: a nine month maxi-series crossing over the Batbooks and Wonder Woman.

[Alejandro]

Batman and Indiana Jones: Well, just imagine them like with the traps and stuff. It should be the typical plot about some ancient magic and them having to stop it. I dont know, indiana is kind of more relaxed than Batman I think. It would be kind of liek a mature Robin xD I can see some hilarious moments there, also that Indiana wouldnt exactly "follow his every order"

Batman and the Watchmen: Too imposible? well that kinds of makes it fun :D It would be some other plot, a kind of "what if" (what if Batz was there with the watchmen, or just started his crussade then)

You mean like Bruce's death?

[1505627]

You mean like Bruce's death?
what?
i don't understand

[Abeja]

Id like a Ryu Hayabusa/Batman crossover.



what?
i don't understand


I think he is talking about how mysteriously Bruce Lee died. His son also died pretty crazy. He was actor that died while filming the Crow. That, or he is talking about Batmans recent dead.

[nepenthes]

Batman & Wolverine. seriously

Batman & The Phantom

[the-wolf]

what?
i don't understand

A lot of people thought and plenty still do that, Bruce was murdered. It's been basically debunked, but some still believe it was the Chinese triads making it look like a brain aneurysm.

After Brandon died, others believed in a literal curse. It would make an interesting story, especially if you combine the 2 ideas, but when dealing with real people who still have real relatives...it may be a tad disrespectful.

I'd love to read a Batman/James Bond crossover (though I don't really fancy mine much when it comes to Bond, for reasons I won't get into...)

The premise sounds intriguing.

On the heels of that, I'd love to read a crossover between Batman and the established antecedent (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9507E3DD103FF934A25754C0A9629582 60) for James Bond, Simon Templar: The Saint.

The Saint was the modern Robin Hood, a dazzling man who stole from the rich, gave to the poor, and kept some of the proceeds for himself, in order to fund his lavish lifestyle.

The Saint was an accomplished gymnast, and a brilliant master of disguise, a man who often created several aliases in order to accomplish his missions.

I'd love to see Bruce and Simon going at it, in a caper very similar to that of the Thomas Crown Affair. And let's have Simon fall for one of the Gotham Girls in the process (preferably Helena Bertinelli).

And Batman and Buffy. But only if the dialogue went something like this:

Cordelia: "What is your childhood trauma?"
Batman: "I'm the goddamn Batman!".
Buffy: "I think I speak for everyone here when I say, 'Huh?"

(In a graveyard, late at night)

Buffy: "Well, hello tall, dark, and...whatever. Are we a little lost?"
Batman: "No worries, young lady. I'm here to protect you."
Buffy: "Oh...(snickers). So, what sort of demon are you? Giles may want it for his book..eh...books."
Willow: "Ewww, Buffy, whose your new friend?!"
Batman: "Stand back, young lady! There's fiends in the night!"
Buffy: "Yeah, we kinda' had that picture, night owl."
Xander: "Buff! That vamp just ran...Whoa! It's Batman!!"
Batman: "At your service and protection."
Buffy: "Batwhoy?"
Giles: "Buffy!"
Buffy: "Great, compound another mystery."
Willow: "Xander said he was bat guy."
Batman/Xander: "Batman."
Giles: "??????"
Buffy: "Ex'plainy this bat part?
Giles: "I thought you were a myth?"
Willow: "I didn't mean bat in a bad way...hpmm."
Buffy: "Time to call it a day....or night, actually. Lets go, Willow."
Willow: "Do you think I made a bad impression, Buffy?"
Buffy: "I get enough third degree from Dawn. Call it a night and lets watch Gilmore girls drinking warm rum."
Willow: "Done! Hey, did you see that cape? Nice!"
Buffy: "I was looking at his boots....I want!"
