The 10 Unlikeliest Characters Batman Has Teamed Up With

Comic books thrive on crossovers. In both the Marvel and DC universe, you can bet that every conceivable team-up (or punch-up) has been attempted over the years. In the latter's case, most of these involve Batman because... Well, he's Batman. Do you really need another reason?

Yes, the Dark Knight really has met those heroes in a half-shell. In 2016’s Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Turtles and their enemy Shredder are transported to the DC universe, where they land in Gotham and team up with Bats to take down a number of his rogues gallery. Batman even shares a pizza with Michelangelo!

Despite – or maybe – because of the total incongruity of this crossover, the miniseries proved so popular that it produced a spinoff. It was called Batman/TMNT Adventures, which ingeniously crossed over the Batman: The Animated Series‘ Batman with the characters from the TMNT animated series.

This one becomes even more meta when you remember that the Turtles were originally created as a parody of Daredevil. So, in theory, this is a crossover between a team of spoofs of a gritty, dark superhero and the grittiest, darkest superhero of them all.
