Batman-Batgirl / Dr. Who-Amy Pond crossover, this would be SO fun to happen!

[thwhtGuardian]

Personally, though I love both Batman and Doctor Who, I think the concepts are far too different to have an effective crossover.

Yeah, story wise I don't see how it would work...but the topic arising is the perfect excuse to bring out this fanart:




And to point out that you don't really need to do a crossover because the Doctor has always secretly been Batman:

I agree with Captain Jim. I'm a massive, massive Whovian and obviously a big Batfan but I really don't see this crossover being any better than the base awesomeness of the two characters would mandate. Most of the Doctors, and particularly Eleven, would clash massively with the Bat in terms of personality, and not in the, 'Oh, those two wacky guys' sort of way, in the 'Please make it stop make it end' sort of way. And, since I know you're a Babs fanatic, batgrrrl, that's which Batgirl you're referring to, and I don't see anything interesting stemming from her and Amy either. Honestly, not to beat a dead horse but Amy and Steph would make for a better interaction, I think. And really I don't see the point of including any Batgirl. I get that most of the Doctor's companions are young, attractive females, but that's not what defines the role so there's no direct parallel. The Doctor's companions are his sidekicks, and as you've pointed out in every thread ever, batgrrrl, Babsgirl is not and has never been Bruce's sidekick.

"I'm a Bat now. Bats are Cool."

Ha!

Batman and Doctor Who?

Err, no. That's just dumb - crossover for the sake of a crossover.

[Sunbird]

I would very much like to see Grant Morrison's take on the Doctor, mind.

[Dr.wonderful]

No.

I'll that as my answer, thank you very much.

Oh, don't look at me like that, have a jelly belly. It'll make you feel better.

The best choice would be Eleven / Clara, because she's new.

And the Steph picture wasn't unrelated at all-- you were entirely unspecific about which Batgirl you meant, and it involved Doctor Who.

That was supposed to be Steph? I thought that was just Rose with a different haircut.

LOL!
thats very funny
she is blond with a purple T-shirt

[Mr. Holmes]

Rose looks really chubby compared to Steph.

You're in luck then:



He did three stories for Doctor Who Magazine back in the day and you're in even more luck because they were collected by IDW into two issues back in 2008.

...Which is also Rose. I'm sorry, but if they wanted it to be apparently, they should have put her in her Batgirl or Spoiler gear.

Nobody has posted this yet?



Seriously though, Doctor Who's concept makes it immensely easy to cross over with about anything, but I don't really see the need or even appeal for this idea. I agree with it feeling too much like a crossover for crossovers sake and I just can't see a story or dynamic that would come out of it that would be worth it. Like, I could probably see a Superman/Doctor Who crossover easier than a Batman one. In fact, that could be pretty interesting...

I guess I could see silver age Batman getting into trouble with like one of the early doctors but I just don't see 11 and modern!Batman having an interesting enough dynamic to justify it.

If a person loves both, and there was a recent Star Trek / LoSH crossover, why not this? It's not as if Batman hasn't ventured into scifi media before.


Try not to worry too much about it.

Predator's a franchise that makes distinctly more sense crossing over with Batman than Doctor Who, though. The Predator's all about hunting the most dangerous game, and that's Batman, pretty much. I'd see Doctor Who crossing over with Superman much more easily, especially if Morrison were writing.

But as it is, I wouldn't want the godawful River Song involved.
