Batman doesn't always like to operate alone.
In fact for someone you would peg as more of a loner, Batman seems to prefer teams quite
a bit.
Although when you're as prepared as Batman is, it kind of inherently makes you a great
leader and often a good role model for other heroes just starting out.
Cut to his long-standing role as leader in the Justice League and his father-like persona
when it comes to his Bat family.
Today we'll be looking outside the world of DC though when it comes to other characters
who might do well with some of Bruce's guidance or at least might be entertaining to watch
when it comes to Bats trying to teach them something as we count down the top 10 Marvel
Superheroes Batman Should Team Up With.
And you might be surprised as DC and Marvel agreed with us fans on some of these "should"s
so some may have even already happened.
Joining me in finding out which as we get counting.
And be sure to stick around for some bonus content at the end of this list.
And make sure to check out our new channel top 10 central and show some love by giving
them a sub if you haven't already.
Without further ado, it's time count.
10 Doctor Strange
Why is this mash-up so appealing?
The same reason I enjoy watching Batman and Zatanna together.
This idea of Batman needing assistance with something of a more supernatural nature.
And the idea of mortal human detective based in cold hard reality mashing up in a scenario
that requires his skill but has just enough mysticism sprinkled in to warrant Doctor Strange's
involvement.
I would love it if these two went on some kind of spiritual ghost hunt together a la
the early Doctor Strange days.
Or maybe the two could meet at some kind of meditation retreat and both get called into
action and have to team up?
Another idea for the two would be to have Doctor Strange of earth 616 teamup with the
vampiric Batman of earth 43.
It wouldn't be the first time Doctor Strange has worked with or against the undead who
call themselves, vampyre.
During the Montesi Formula story arc, he teamed up with vampire detective Hannibal King and
Blade, working to defeat Dracula himself.
Another idea is the arcane arts come to Gotham in the form of a villain who is experimenting
with magicks.
Maybe Black Mask or maybe Calendar Man is no longer posing a stage magician as he did
during his debut in Detective Comics issue 259 but has become a real one?
That could be a fun kind of adventure.
And Doctor Strange answers the call to help as Zatanna is unavailable.
9 Iron Man
Both are billionaire playboys.
Or at least appear to be.
Batman might not be too impressed to find out that Tony isn't simply playing a part
when it comes to that side of him.
Still while Batman might not agree with Tony's lifestyle choices, both characters are known
for their brilliance and for their obsession with control and ability to plan ahead.
And this might be enough to make them a strong team up.
Tony after all was the instigator behind Civil War one with his superhero registration act.
He has since learned the error of his ways but still tends to be quite lawful when it
comes to his views.
Meanwhile Batman is suffers from borderline OCD and paranoia when it comes to being prepared
and as such created contingency plans for all of his fellow JLA members only to have
them fall into the hands of Ra's Al Ghul and be used against his teammates, forcing him
to apologize to the team.
Neither is a known killer and both heroes prefer to trust in the system when it comes
to vengeance and justice.
Plus, we all know we would want to see Batman get his own Iron Man suit, complete with little
metal bat-ears.
8 Spider-Man
I mean you knew he was going to be on here, because who wouldn't want to see just about
anyone team-up with Spider-Man?
The crazy thing is this dream team has already happened.
The had a one-shot teamup in 1995 with the comic, Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds.
But it's been 20 years since the two have shared the pages of a comic book and I think
it's about time we make this happen again.
Besides, we have to have Black Cat and Catwoman join in for this team up.
As cool as Carnage and Joker were together, I'm personally more interested in seeing a
caper story where Catwoman and Black Cat team up for some good ol' fashioned thieving and
Spider-Man and Batman have to put a stop to their dangerous femme fatales.
7 Black Panther
These two together would truly be some of those most teched out.
I know what you are thinking, but what about the Bats and Iron Man team up, I suggested
earlier?
Yes.
Those two would also have a ton of tech, but Black Panther comes from Wakanda and as great
as Tony's tech might be, not even Stark can beat the tech coming out of Panther's homeland.
Black Panther and Bats also have a similar look and sometimes a similar fighting style.
Though I would say the Batman is the sneakier of the two.
6 Iron Fist
These two are both skilled martial artists who I would love to both see duke it out and
then combine their skills to take down a big bad.
I think Iron Fist could even give Batman more of a run for his money than any other hero
from Marvel who he's taken in hand to hand combat.
I'm imagining Bruce joining with Danny in an attempt to take down the League of Assassins
or the Hand.
Seeing them have to take on someone like Lady Shiva or someone like Taskmaster could also
be super interesting.
5 Jessica Jones
I think Batman would feel a lot of respect for Jessica Jones.
The two could team up on a case together, maybe they were both tracking the same perp
for different reasons.
Or maybe Bruce decides he wants a fresh start and decides to live under an alias as a private
PI of his own and the two end up as rival detectives, competing for cases.
But these two are bound to do well together.
And it never hurts to have Batman team up with someone who has real superpowers, in
case they run into a threat to large for Batman's planning.
Or vice versa.
A problem that can't be crushed by Jessica's super strength and needs Batman's help in
terms of locating that perfect weak spot.
4 Daredevil
Two costumes that are designed to scare with one that might possibly more terrifying than
the other.
I'll let you battle out in the comments as to who you think I'm talking about there.
Both are masterful investigators who civilian personas act as wealthy citizens during the
day and are sometimes known for their playboy tendencies.
These two are both brutal assailants, with a belief in justice and a policy for not killing
their enemies, just beating them senseless.
Two that we would love to see on a murder case.
In fact we already have.
These two have teamed up twice once in 1997 in Daredevil slash Batman, Eye for an Eye
and again in 2000 in the sequel, King of New York.
You know a teamup is good when it happens again, that soon after.
And seeing as how it's been almost 20 years, I figure were due for another team up of these
two different, yet similar heroes.
3 Captain America
Considering that Batman is best friends with Superman, is anyone surprised that many would
love to see Batman and Captain America team up?
In fact, it shouldn't be because these two did team up in 1996 accompanied by their own
sidekicks.
This comic was more a sidekick swap than anything though where Batman ended up with Bucky and
Cap ended up working with Robin to take down Red Skull and Joker.
Or in the end really just Red Skull as Joker himself defected from the plot after finding
out he was working for a nazi.
The two also crossed paths in an Avengers and Justice League crossover where Batman
actually decided to call a truce while fighting Cap, realizing that in Steve Rogers he had
found a fairly even match to his abilities and that the fight was really pointless.
I'd love to see the two of these strong superheroes come together to protect not just the earth
but the universe against some kind of cosmic threat.
Maybe Galactus or Darkseid and Thanos who end up some how working together.
Cap and Bats make too good of a team and it's been too long since we've seen this pair together!
2 Nick Fury
Both are known for always being prepared.
And both are super sleuths who pride themselves on knowing what's going on at all times, even
when we think there is no way they could have.
Remember that whole ordeal with Jezebel Jet and Batman?
She revealed it was all a ruse and then he revealed he knew it was a ruse and he was
also performing a ruse on her.
And we were all like what?
If you knew, then why...?
Anyways.
Nick Fury and Batman would also likely complement one another in terms of the way they approach
going about their business and getting the job done.
Both are focused and serious.
It could be cool to see Batman be recruited by SHIELD in order to help with a special
ops mission and then go in with Nick Fury.
Or maybe the two would both be leaders of a team out on the same mission and just run
into one another, see the value of each other and then team up.
That could be cool.
Secret agent Batman!
1 Deadpool
In the Spider-Man/Deadpool team-up comic, issue 6, we see Deadpool and Spidey talking
about superhero movies.
The two end up attending a spoof version of Batman v. Superman when they watch Nighthawk
v. Hypserion: Yawn of Boredom.
They take turns after the viewing pointing out everything wrong with the film, the lack
of motivation and the obsession with thinking five films ahead instead of simpling working
at all towards make the film a standalone success.
I would love a teamup that casts Batman and Deadpool in a similar vibe and turns this
joke back on Deadpool himself.
DC might not be down as it also kind of makes fun of the Batman v. Supes film itself but
the punchline would be the Deadpool is actually the king of nonsensical fights in the comic
book world.
He frequently ends up tussling with Wolverine for no other reason than he can.
But whatever story DC and Marvel chose to explore with these heros, just the two characters
sharing a page would likely be a treat.
Batman could play the perfect straight man to Wade's crazy.
And I'm sure both would drive one another up the wall.
And keep in mind Deadpool isn't easy to frustrate in a team-up.
He's usually got too much pepp in his step.
But if anyone can annoy Wade, I'll be it's Batman.
Thank you for watching, nerd squad.
Who do you think has a more frightening get up Daredevil or Batman?
Who from the Marvel world would you like to see Batman team up with?
Do you think there are any Marvel villains that he could be persuaded into working with?
Let us know in the comments below and speaking of comments, it's time to turn to some comments
from one of our latest videos, Top 10 Superheroes Who Became Gods Part 2.
Jose Ortega commented, "Amanda looks like she can gain God Level Super Powers.
Beware her might."
It's true.
If I get my hands on that Phoenix Force, y'all better watch out.
It would probably corrupt me.
So much power!
In what way would you like to get god powers if you could?
Robert Spears says, "I would like to see Miles Morales or Gwen Stacy as Captain Universe
or maybe bring back Ben Reilly and make him Captain Universe."
That sounds like it's doable.
I mean if Aunt May can get cosmic powers and become Golden Oldie, I'm sure these other
alternates could find a way to get that sweet sweet enigma force.
I'd really love to see Miles become Captain Universe.
And that's all the time we have for comments today.
