Favorite Hero To Team Up With Superman (Aside From Batman or Wonder Woman)

[Sacred Knight]

Outside my vote for Nightwing, I always wished they'd tried to push a friendship with GA after what they did in Smallville. Maybe they wouldn't have succeeded in capturing that young Clark and Ollie friendship like the show did, but I always wished they'd tried.

Usually I dislike Ollie intensely, and Smallville Ollie was basically Batman Lite. Would’ve been interested to see New 52 Supes and Ollie interact more though.

Is it because of how he treated Roy? Dinah? Prefer Connor? Too much of an opinionated windbag ?

He’s a hypocritical piece of crap. Being a limousine leftist just tends to irritate me, I have a family member who is one of those and our relationship isn’t good so it’s sort of personal lol. That despite his moralizing he tends to be such a toxic person as you point out just makes it worse. Enjoyed the Rebirth Percy GA run a lot though so I can enjoy him.

Im with you. He may be one of my least favorite of the JL members and DC characters as a whole. I havnt read too many stories I liked him in.

I understand. To me he's a lot of bluster and very flawed but his heart is in the right place and he tries to be better.

I enjoyed seeing Supes interact with younger heroes who look up to him. I liked seeing him work with Starman, Firestorm, and the extended families of other Trinity members. I also liked seeing him work grudgingly with his foes as during the lead up to Our Worlds At War. Lastly I always enjoy seeing him interact with the Fourth World characters

In agreement with you about Supes interacting with the younger generation, especially OG Firestorm (a personal fave, I might add):

I'm also a fan of this newer dynamic between Clark and Hal, where Hal wants to be buddies and Clark's not really feeling it. It pokes fun at both of them and, I think, feels authentic. Hal's a nice guy but is a little too....loud....for Clark, and Clark blowing Hal off is a rare instance of DC letting Clark's character flaws and quirks show without turning it into a huge problem.

Probably not too popular, but I enjoyed Gaiman's take on the Kent/Jordan friendship (XD)

I felt that way for a while. I still love and prefer Connor but the DCAU series really warmed me to Ollie.

I ruled out Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing/Batman II) from consideration--along with others like Ambush Bug and the Legion of Super-Heroes--because he was teamed with Superman so often, he was a member of the extended family.

Dick Grayson
- He welcomes Clark's Help and at the end of a Team-Up he said something along the lines of, "Bruce told me Superman can't be fully trusted because he's an alien, but Clark is the best 'human being' I met."

Me too, Jim Kelly. But I have nothing against those who'd like to include him, though.

[Celgress]

I feel Wonder Woman of the two options listed in the thread title is the better team-up partner for Superman. Unfortunately, Batman tends to overshadow Superman at best nerf him at worst.

[Superfan90]

Definitely Hal

I have no issue with Hal and Clark getting along. They have plenty in common, really, especially the versions of Clark that are more in touch with his sense of humor, wanderlust, and love for adventure.

I just find their dynamic a lot more fun when it's handled the other way. It's easy to find people who Clark gets along with and likes, but a lot harder to find people who just seem to rub him the wrong way (who aren't also villains or criminals of some kind).

And I'm pretty sure mine is the unpopular opinion here, I'm sure more people would agree with you and want those two to get along really well, than agree with me.

^^^Yes!
Supes/Dick have a great dynamic. I’m surprised no one's ever pitched a limited series w. the pair.

[Riv86672]

For me, and it’s a dark horse I know, but The Challengers of The Unknown.




Supes teaming w. a bunch of ordinary ppl makes for a great dynamic.
