If DC gave us a Batman team-up book,, who'd you like to see show up in it?

[BatmanJones]

This is not a creative answer but, now that I've considered this question, I'd like to see today's Batman team-up with today's version of everyone he teamed up with in Brave and the Bold and in the order in which he teamed with them in that book.

That would include Earth-Two Batman, which wouldn't have been possible between CoIE and Death Metal but which would definitely be possible now.

All that said, I always really loved the unlikely/non-JLA team-ups like Deadman and The Creeper. They did for me what I think B&B was meant to do in introducing me to new characters and making me a fan of them for life.

In fact, when I was studying playwriting I had an assignment to write a screenplay (a very different animal) and I wrote mine about The Creeper because I remained fascinated by him.

My problem about Batman team up with other heroes is the other hero will almost definitely get dumbed down for the sake of Batman (usual case : Superman). So for me I want him to team up with Plastic Man, their contrast dynamic is funny and interesting

Can we not bring back "Earth 2" from the New 52?



Now, if DC brought back the original pre-CoIE version of "Earth-2"/"Earth-Two", that I would agree with.

This was my favorite Brave and the Bold story, bar none. I see that this post was from 2018 but with the it-all-happened approach coming out of Death Metal, Earth-Two is totally available.

And in addition to that issue of The Brave and the Bold, Alan Brennert also wrote another Earth-2-based issue that was popular:

(Earth-1's Batman was not part of this one.)

Wait, what is the current version of Eclipso? In New 52 he was an ancient demon trapped in the Black Diamond since medieval time, secured by ARGUS, and then... oh right... released by... Max Lord I think and infected Justice League. So everyone except him.

Other detectives like The Question and Detective Chimp

Other detectives like The Question and Detective Chimp

from Detective Comics #1000 (though it wasn't a full story with them teaming up)

I love the pic above but since when are the Hawks detectives? (Maybe archeologists count now?)

In the past,various versions have been portrayed as detectives. Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkwoman had been police officers on Thanagar.

Then it makes sense, Major.

NOTE: This thread was originally started back in October 2015.

If DC decided to revive a book like The Brave & the Bold as a Batman team-up book in the present-day DC New 52/DCYou main universe, who'd you like to guest-star along with Batman?

And, for the heck of it. I've added a poll with Batman's earliest guest-stars in B&tB, but feel free to suggest others as well.

Aquaman (B&tB #82)
Atom (B&tB #77)
Batgirl (B&tB #78)
Creeper (B&tB #80)
Deadman (B&tB #79)
Eclipso (B&tB #64)
Flash (B&tB #67, 81)
Green Arrow (B&tB #71)
Green Lantern (B&tB #59, 69)
Hawkman (B&tB #70)
Metal Men (B&tB #74)
