With how in many continuities, Alfred fought in WWII, I can totally imagine Alfred having met Cap at one point. Or at least seen him in action. Which would be pretty cool to see.
Cap would get along perfectly with so many members of the Justice League. Green Lantern is his fellow soldier, Clark Kent his fellow idealist, Bruce appreciating the way Cap strives to make the world a better place as a human and inspiring people. Wonder Woman probably remembers fighting along side him in World War 2 even.
If Steve and Diana fought against the axis together in WW2, she probably would also try to keep in contact with Logan, Namor, and the rest of the Golden Age Marvel heroes.
@@Phantom24-w3cI mean it’s not like he’s in ww2 anymore, he’s not gonna try not to kill if doesn’t have to, him being in modern day saving lives automatically makes him a “superhero”
The big issue between the two would be Captain's willingness to kill even in extreme situations. But honestly I can see him respecting, accepting and upholding Batman's ideals especially if he has a means to uphold them. I think Captain America would highly respect someone going by the no kill rule. After all Batman doesn't kill because of two reasons, one- he doesn't think he can come back from that, he believes he'll continue to kill and in the end he'll be the monster. His second reason is the one I believe the Captain would agree with; If someone is alive they can still redeem themselves, they can still change and become a good person.
I don’t see Batman even having a problem with Cap being willing to kill when need be, because he’d know and respect Cap’s restraint. Bruce wouldn’t think less of Jim Gordon, a police officer, if he had to use lethal force on someone. Because he knows Jim and knows if Jim had to do it, it’s because he HAD to do it. He’d think the same of Steve.
Batman doesn't kill because he doesn't believe that he has a right to arbitrarily decide who lives and dies. He also deals mainly with those who are insane as psychologically scared in need of help, and is a symbol of hope to Gotham. So he tries to inspire faith that the justice system can work and to route out corruption. Captain America is part of that system and also didn't usually kill his opponents, but has the authority to do so. In 6 the comics for decades, he only killed 5 people, and those were in extreme situations where the death was unavoidable. Captain America didn't even kill the Red Skull, but instead allowed his foe to die due to the self-inflicted poison in his system.
@@TheShockVox That Jim Gordon point is veeeery good. I was thinking Captain's more loose "no killing rule" could really annoy Bruce, but you are absolutely right
Steve's willingness to kill came from the fact that he was a soldier and nuances of being well read on political and moral stances. He knows the necessary evil he must do and minimizes casualties as much as he can. In fact, he might be able to make Jason Todd understand why Batman can't just kill.
Batman would be pretty understanding considering Cap was basically in World War 2 just a few years ago due to his circumstances. and it's not like Cap kills like the Punisher, on several occasions Cap has ended up beating up and jailing the Punisher. Also Batman has met Captain America and The Punisher, praised Cap and kicked the Punisher out of Gotham for trying to kill the Joker (pun pun made em pee he pants and batman was jealous cause he can't scare joker like that)
I honestly think Cap would be pissed when Tower of Babel happens. Steve Rogers stands for honesty and integrity, and the contingencies would remind him of stuff like Pleasant Hill, Project Wideawake, and that time Tony put mind-controlling probes into supervillains.

@@christophergarcia3695 Ehhh I’m going by they’ll probably either use that to their advantage and make it so that Cap doesn’t approve of it because of his own experience with losing Bucky (although in that case I think he’s able to sympathize with Bruce over how he felt when he lost Jason on a personal level) or they’ll just ignore it because Marvel doesn’t too much do teenage sidekicks and Stan Lee never liked the idea anyway.
Batman is almost like a super soldier , have you seen his strength and his knowledge of mastering almost all martial arts . "There is nothing mere about that mortal "
One topic I’d like to see discussed is how Kingpin would work as a Batman villain. He’d fit right into the Rogues gallery, while also contrasting nicely against the Arkham weirdos and yet still intimidating enough to work as a threat. Not only for the Bat but for Bruce Wayne as well. While Batman fights the crime side, Bruce would have to fight Fisks influence on the politics of the city. Also his sheer size making him a physical threat to the dark knight. And just the design is a nice contrast. Batmans black against Kingpins white suit. Simple, but it works.
I imagine Batman would be good friends with Captain America and Spiderman. The situation in Avengers Civil War would be interesting as Spiderman joins Iron Man's side, and Captain America is the main guy of his side.
That would be interesting because Batman believes that hero's should have restriction's, but he also believe's in privacy (to a degree) and freedom of choice which the Sokovia accords deny
It was a very young Peter Parker, six months since the spider-bite, who joined Iron Man. The Peter we usually see in the comics would probably have joined Cap.
@@MarkJacksonParkESyeah I doubt Tony even told him the real reason he probably said captain America is going against the government or some bullshit if Peter was older and actually read the accords he would join cap Tony is manipulative at times and it causes a lot of problems
Oh yeah, Batman would totally have a soft spot for Spiderman, would remind him a bit of his eairler sons maybe. Speaking of which, I’d love to see Spiderman and Nightwing/Robin interact.
i wonder how batman would feel about someone like dr doom. sure doom is a villain but he genuinely does believe what he does is for the beterment of humanity, and batman would definitly do his research on doom and see how well he treats the citizens of latveria.
@@ashuprice9719 I'd argue closer to his feelings of Black Adam (super powered leader of a nation that does horrendous things to people outside his country if it benefits the people in it). Luthor doesn't use his intelligence to help humanity out of spite for superman and his nature. Doom doesn't use his intelligence to help humanity because he feels he needs to be in control first (and time travel has revealed whenever he is in control of humanity, he uses his intelligence to help)
Ra's Al Ghul also fights a cause he believes is the right one and Batman still opposes him. Batman is uncompromising in his ethics and sense of morality that he wouldn't hesitate to bring Doom down, even if he isn't all bad and does some good.
If batman was in the marvel universe, i would love to see how he deals with hulk since Hulk is basically bruce's motivation personified. For those who don't know, in one of the hulk's origins, he wasn't created by the gamma radiaticion, he was a a second, way more violent personality that bruce created when he was little to deal with his abusive father. When bruce left home, the hulk personality kinda slept, until the radiation woke him up against and gave him super powers. Is literally hero motivated by childhood trauma vs childhood trauma given form. I would if batman could be one of the few people that could look pass all the destructive potential and see hulk for what he is: a traumatized child with super powers, in the both of a adult.
@@roseoliveira6709 Batman fought the Hulk in the most B's fight I ever saw. It was the Batman vs Hulk crossover from 1982. Batman releases a gas, kicks Hulk in the stomach to open his mouth, Hulk takes the gas and falls asleep. Like the Hulk would even feel that kick.
@@adrianomoraes5992 Yeah, these was a lot of that going on whenever there was a Marvel/DC crossover comic in those days. They even pulled that "Batman impossibly beats a Marvel Character" crap years later by Batman decisively beating Carnage in a Batman/Spider-Man crossover story.
Both Cap and Joker hate nazis (I forget what series it was, but Joker is Jewish and goes full agro on nazis). And Cap is nothing if not a team builder. I think it could actually end well.
The same reason why Superman and Batman are the best dynamic duo. They are polar opposites but have a deep respect for each other abilities and as people. Superman respects Batman’s resolve and intelligence while also seeing his softer side underneath the darkness. And Batman respects Clark’s humanity despite his god like power.
He wouldn't... Cap is pro killing which is the entire reason joker goes after Batman. He wants Batman to kill. Cap would be all for killing the joker in an instant. And joker hates the idea of dying a meaningless death with no climatic finish so just simply being insta killed would be jokers worst fear and he would want NOTHING TO DO WITH CAP
Batman due to his absolute belief in Captain America doing the right thing and being a leader. I can imagine him nodding his head and say “Cap will lead the mission”
It's good to see this kind of crossover discussion--rather than just violently smashing them together like action figures, and whining about "who'd win." Realistically they both would, because they'd help each other out.
Both Batman and Captain America have moral codes. not to mention there was a comic collab of MARVEL and DC where the enemy was Hydra. And the funniest thing is that even the Joker wanted to fight Red skull lol.
The one singular thing I think they would clash over is that Captain America is okay with killing people who he considers to be morally compromised to a certain degree, whereas Batman considers every single life to be sacred regardless of how evil the person is.
the best part is that they actually have worked together to take down red skull and joker when cap and bucky are sent on a secret mission stateside during WWII where they meet batman and robin in gotham. while it's definitely not canon (joker and red skull die in a nuclear blast at the end and dick grayson, who has taken over as batman with bruce jr as robin finds frozen cap 20 years later in the epilogue), the comic shows them to actually know about each other and respect each other deeply. they fight together at first as captain america and batman, but also fight each other as bruce wayne and steve rogers. when they fight they're so equally matched that is shocks the both of them. eventually bruce figures out who steve is and steve even realizes that bruce is batman as well and then they work together again. oppenheimer is also in the comic lmfao it was pretty fun to read. Batman/Captain America for those interested.
Honestly these two would be solid friends if the writers don't make Batman the standoffish, doesn't bother answering simple questions semi-prick he often seems to be in certain stuff, if you understand what I mean
Thinking about it, isn't Alfred a war vet? Couldn't Alfred have know Steve from way back when and maybe not worked eith the man personally but be able to talk to him and whatnot after missions and the such? Not only would it make an interesting dynamic as ones a British vet and one an American vet, but also would add to the mythos of Steve Rogers in young Bruces mind. Would be so interesting to see.
The one thing I think might spoil their friendship is the no kill rule. Steve was trained as a soldier first so I've always believed he has less of an issue killing an enemy than Batman would. It wouldn't be his first or favorite choice, but I can't imagine he'd lose sleep over bashing Joker's skull in with his shield. Once something like that happens, Bruce would probably lose whatever trust he had in Cap. As pointed out by a couple other people, the man out of time wouldn't think very highly of the dark knight's contingency plans either.
I can picture Cap jumping into stop one of Gotham’s rogues and Cap thinks Bats is a villain until Batman clocks him to save the civilian that the rogue put in jeopardy to escape.
The issue of sidekicks would be something that they would butt heads over, there is reason why cap never got a second sidekick and none of the avengers have side kicks to the same degree that bat does
And besides, most sidekicks are children. In fact how old was Dick when he got taken, hell, even Jason. Steve definitely believes that children should not get involve in their issues. Remember that one scene from AoU? He understood Wanda and Pietro immediately when Agent Hill (unintentionally) tried to make Steve indifferent.
Steve and Bruce will definitely love each other, and Batman will definitely stand by Captain America in the civil war, literally in the Lego Batman movie, Batman said "Ironman sucks" 😂😂😂😂😂
5:19 I can see Cap and Alfred having some sort of backstory or shared history because of WW2, Cap having served after all and Alfred having worked in MI-6
I used to say as a kid that i felt like cap should have been a DC hero 😂 for some reason he just gave me that sense of aspiration and admiration that DC heroes often did where marvel heroes were more relatable on a emotional level DC had characters i aspired to be like (solely based off of the kind of comics I read as kid/ at the time) I think but then I realized as I got older if he was in the DC universe he would not get any attention tbh, he’d probably be a C rank hero. Solely because DC abandons just about anyone that isn’t in some relation to their trinity unfortunately 😭 especially some of their classic heroes from the golden and silver ages of comics
I believe that they definitely will work well together. Both are selfless and courageous. Both are fully dedicated to the idea of a hero and saving people. Both hate the idea of killing. Both have great control over their minds and emotions. Both are hardworking. So yes Batman and Cap will be great friends.
What makes Cap stand out from everyone else is that if you took skinny steve rogers and threw him in the final battle of endgame right before the portals show up, he would still stand his ground. The only thing that changed from the serum was his physicality, but skinny and buff rogers would still take a beating and die just so someone else can live
I can imagine cap and Bruce Wayne talking and cap in a moment of respect telling him that if he had been given the super serum he would become exactly what he is right now
There was a time when Steve became deeply distrustful of the government and changed his alias to Nomad. If that were to happen while Batman was around, that would solidify the alliance.
I haven't seen it in the thread, so I'll mention it here: Two samurai met on the road, and each decided to see how tough the other was. So they drop into their fighting stances -- and stop, because each immediately sees from the other's stance alone how he'll react, and it's a Mexican standoff. After a few seconds one guy shifts to another stance, only for the other guy to take the proper stance to respond. After a while the other guy does the same thing, with the same response. Rinse and repeat, alternating. Finally as the sun's going down one guy straightens up and says, "Dude, this shit is useless. What say we go on down into that village yonder and get us some brewskis?" and the other guy says, "Cool!" The end. My point? This is how Batman and Captain America always end up. The Dark Knight and the Sentinel of Liberty are like diamond cut diamond -- they can't beat each other, and quickly come to respect each other too much to try.
I think that Bruce would relate to Steve better than Tony because while he's as rich as Tony, he's not an entitled 'rich kid' like Tony. Bruce sees his family fortune as a means to an end, not something that defines him. He is dedicated to upholding his family's legacy of philanthropy, unlike Tony who rebels against his family and defines himself as a wealthy playboy. So I think that Steve and Bruce have similar enough character that they would align very well. They compliment each other.
Generally I agree, but the one counterargument I'll make is that Captain America doesn't trade lives, while Batman puts the mission first (at least, based on their DCAU/DCEU/MCU personas).
Genuinely speaking, In my opinion, the biggest difference between the Avengers, and the Justice League is the fact the Justice League tend to be in agreement on the task at hand while the Avengers bicker and argue. Seriously, The JLA don't agree all the time, but they don't have major clash of ego and personalities that the Avengers have. That is actually what make both teams Great.
When you consider the closest people to Batman, Nightwing and Superman, the dude naturally gravitates to optimists who see the best in the world and that justice doesn't have to be upheld through the shadows. He'd absolutely respect and befriend Cap.
Absolutely. Superman is Batman’s favorite hero for a reason. Nightwing’s too.

Ehhh I’m going by they’ll probably either use that to their advantage and make it so that Cap doesn’t approve of it because of his own experience with losing Bucky (although in that case I think he’s able to sympathize with Bruce over how he felt when he lost Jason on a personal level) or they’ll just ignore it because Marvel doesn’t too much do teenage sidekicks and Stan Lee never liked the idea anyway.
Batman is almost like a super soldier , have you seen his strength and his knowledge of mastering almost all martial arts . "There is nothing mere about that mortal "
Yep, Even though there was a comic and there was batman vs cap and the fight ended a draw
One topic I’d like to see discussed is how Kingpin would work as a Batman villain.
He’d fit right into the Rogues gallery, while also contrasting nicely against the Arkham weirdos and yet still intimidating enough to work as a threat. Not only for the Bat but for Bruce Wayne as well.
While Batman fights the crime side, Bruce would have to fight Fisks influence on the politics of the city.
Also his sheer size making him a physical threat to the dark knight. And just the design is a nice contrast. Batmans black against Kingpins white suit. Simple, but it works.
He would challenge Batman on the streets and challenge Bruce in the business world
The two characters have shared the page twice, Marvel vs DC and JLA vs Avengers, on both occassions that mutual respect was there.
Yup
In JLA / Avengers, both teams voted Cap leader. Batman agreed.
3 times. There was also a Captain America x Batman Comic.
Imagine walking down the street and you see joker getting wombo combod by batman and captain America at the same time...
Then Steve brings the death blow and Batman can only look away.
@@thalasowo3373Captain America could totally convince Batman to support the act, bro is great at delivering speeches
I can’t think of a single DC hero that would hate Captain America
Batman and Bruce Wayne
Maaaaaybe a very young Oliver Queen, but he’d change his mind quickly.
John Constantine and Guy Gardner
Booster Gold because he thinks he steals his thunder
Booster Gol- shit, I thought nobody had heard of him
They’ve essentially done this already in several comic crossovers. They both deeply respect each other.
The image of Nick fury having a cup of coffee with Batman is kind of humorous to me
"Ya know tony, you could learn a thing or two from the guy in the bat costume"
I imagine Batman would be good friends with Captain America and Spiderman. The situation in Avengers Civil War would be interesting as Spiderman joins Iron Man's side, and Captain America is the main guy of his side.
That would be interesting because Batman believes that hero's should have restriction's, but he also believe's in privacy (to a degree) and freedom of choice which the Sokovia accords deny
It was a very young Peter Parker, six months since the spider-bite, who joined Iron Man. The Peter we usually see in the comics would probably have joined Cap.
@@MarkJacksonParkESyeah I doubt Tony even told him the real reason he probably said captain America is going against the government or some bullshit if Peter was older and actually read the accords he would join cap Tony is manipulative at times and it causes a lot of problems
Oh yeah, Batman would totally have a soft spot for Spiderman, would remind him a bit of his eairler sons maybe. Speaking of which, I’d love to see Spiderman and Nightwing/Robin interact.
He would probably be masquerading as bruce Wayne trying to make a new treaty or a middle ground between the two sides
In avengers vs justice league cap and bats are paired together for most of the story and get along great
Came here to say this. Still might.
i wonder how batman would feel about someone like dr doom. sure doom is a villain but he genuinely does believe what he does is for the beterment of humanity, and batman would definitly do his research on doom and see how well he treats the citizens of latveria.
For every time doom is portrayed as a just ruler he’s also then immediately followed up as being portrayed as evil.
The same way he feels about lex Luther
@@ashuprice9719 I'd argue closer to his feelings of Black Adam (super powered leader of a nation that does horrendous things to people outside his country if it benefits the people in it).
Luthor doesn't use his intelligence to help humanity out of spite for superman and his nature.
Doom doesn't use his intelligence to help humanity because he feels he needs to be in control first (and time travel has revealed whenever he is in control of humanity, he uses his intelligence to help)
Ra's Al Ghul also fights a cause he believes is the right one and Batman still opposes him. Batman is uncompromising in his ethics and sense of morality that he wouldn't hesitate to bring Doom down, even if he isn't all bad and does some good.
@@billyboleson2830friendly reminder he’s on Santa’s nice list
If batman was in the marvel universe, i would love to see how he deals with hulk since Hulk is basically bruce's motivation personified.
For those who don't know, in one of the hulk's origins, he wasn't created by the gamma radiaticion, he was a a second, way more violent personality that bruce created when he was little to deal with his abusive father. When bruce left home, the hulk personality kinda slept, until the radiation woke him up against and gave him super powers. Is literally hero motivated by childhood trauma vs childhood trauma given form.
I would if batman could be one of the few people that could look pass all the destructive potential and see hulk for what he is: a traumatized child with super powers, in the both of a adult.
I think most people know that the gamma rays didn’t create the hulk personality it was always there the rays just woke it up
Hulk also rarely kills his enemies, even in World War Hulk he just hurt them really bad. Similar ironic enough to Batmans methods.
Batman would probably take step's to keep Bruce calm, however would have secondary measure's in place, just in case
@@roseoliveira6709
Batman fought the Hulk in the most B's fight I ever saw. It was the Batman vs Hulk crossover from 1982.
Batman releases a gas, kicks Hulk in the stomach to open his mouth, Hulk takes the gas and falls asleep.
Like the Hulk would even feel that kick.
@@adrianomoraes5992 Yeah, these was a lot of that going on whenever there was a Marvel/DC crossover comic in those days. They even pulled that "Batman impossibly beats a Marvel Character" crap years later by Batman decisively beating Carnage in a Batman/Spider-Man crossover story.
They both put justice and tge lives of innocent before themselves. I respect that.
I think Steve and Bruce would probably train together as friends too
I want to see how Captain America handles Batman villains. Especially, the Joker.
He would put the joker down
@@ashuprice9719 True. Hell, if Batman and Captain America talked for more than 10 minutes, Batman might put Joker down himself.
M1911A1
Both Cap and Joker hate nazis (I forget what series it was, but Joker is Jewish and goes full agro on nazis). And Cap is nothing if not a team builder. I think it could actually end well.
@@timtheskeptic1147”I may be a criminal lunatic, but I’m an AMERICAN criminal lunatic!”
-The Jinkler, to Red Skull
The same reason why Superman and Batman are the best dynamic duo. They are polar opposites but have a deep respect for each other abilities and as people. Superman respects Batman’s resolve and intelligence while also seeing his softer side underneath the darkness. And Batman respects Clark’s humanity despite his god like power.
I feel like joker would be just as tempted to break cap of his ideals as he is with batman
He wouldn't... Cap is pro killing which is the entire reason joker goes after Batman. He wants Batman to kill. Cap would be all for killing the joker in an instant. And joker hates the idea of dying a meaningless death with no climatic finish so just simply being insta killed would be jokers worst fear and he would want NOTHING TO DO WITH CAP
Batman due to his absolute belief in Captain America doing the right thing and being a leader. I can imagine him nodding his head and say “Cap will lead the mission”
In a cross over they had Batman meet Daredevil and he is one of top 10 people Batman respects the most!
It's good to see this kind of crossover discussion--rather than just violently smashing them together like action figures, and whining about "who'd win." Realistically they both would, because they'd help each other out.
Yo Captain America in a Batman tier suit would be even stronger by a decent bit.
Both Batman and Captain America have moral codes. not to mention there was a comic collab of MARVEL and DC where the enemy was Hydra. And the funniest thing is that even the Joker wanted to fight Red skull lol.
These two have met each other before but if they existed in the same universe yeah, these two would get along.
I think Cap would become Nomad immediately if he was in DC because there is no way he would want to be anywhere near Amanda Waller and DC's government
Bats would love Captain America for the same reasons he and Clark get along so well.
Love all the Batman 2004 clips, nice to see that show being shown for how good it is
I agree 110% they would love each other for sure
Spider man and Blue beetle would be the best paring by far
5:06 Except Spiderman I'd like to add to that.
It would be interesting to have a crossover with Cap and Bats and to end the story with both of them working out in the Avengers Tower gym together.
Oh imagine Steve meeting Jason Todd. Steve and Bruce isn't the money here, Steve and the bat family is.
"I'm Batman."
"I am Steve Rogers."
Cap would be Public leader. Bats would intelligence advisor. Which is a bigger deal for Bruce in giving orders
Now do Batman and Cyclops. Seriously, can you imagine giving those two an ongoing. They would be THEM.
The one singular thing I think they would clash over is that Captain America is okay with killing people who he considers to be morally compromised to a certain degree, whereas Batman considers every single life to be sacred regardless of how evil the person is.
I can see them respecting and befriending each other
Yeah they would be besties!😊 I like to believe Cap would pick up a swear word or two just to impress Batman but not fully understanding the word!😂😂
Cap was in the marines he probably has heard much worse that and he has cussed before he just prefers not to
5:32 Alfred would’ve been a medic
But no one else would connect
the best part is that they actually have worked together to take down red skull and joker when cap and bucky are sent on a secret mission stateside during WWII where they meet batman and robin in gotham. while it's definitely not canon (joker and red skull die in a nuclear blast at the end and dick grayson, who has taken over as batman with bruce jr as robin finds frozen cap 20 years later in the epilogue), the comic shows them to actually know about each other and respect each other deeply. they fight together at first as captain america and batman, but also fight each other as bruce wayne and steve rogers. when they fight they're so equally matched that is shocks the both of them. eventually bruce figures out who steve is and steve even realizes that bruce is batman as well and then they work together again. oppenheimer is also in the comic lmfao it was pretty fun to read.
Batman/Captain America for those interested.
Honestly these two would be solid friends if the writers don't make Batman the standoffish, doesn't bother answering simple questions semi-prick he often seems to be in certain stuff, if you understand what I mean
Great analysis! Thanks for putting together this video👍
Thinking about it, isn't Alfred a war vet? Couldn't Alfred have know Steve from way back when and maybe not worked eith the man personally but be able to talk to him and whatnot after missions and the such? Not only would it make an interesting dynamic as ones a British vet and one an American vet, but also would add to the mythos of Steve Rogers in young Bruces mind. Would be so interesting to see.
Batman always vibed with the big blue boy scouts
I would like to see what if Disney's gargoyles where in the DC comics world
The one thing I think might spoil their friendship is the no kill rule. Steve was trained as a soldier first so I've always believed he has less of an issue killing an enemy than Batman would. It wouldn't be his first or favorite choice, but I can't imagine he'd lose sleep over bashing Joker's skull in with his shield. Once something like that happens, Bruce would probably lose whatever trust he had in Cap. As pointed out by a couple other people, the man out of time wouldn't think very highly of the dark knight's contingency plans either.
Bruh, batman chilled with the ninja turtles. Hes way more sociable than people give him credit for.
I can picture Cap jumping into stop one of Gotham’s rogues and Cap thinks Bats is a villain until Batman clocks him to save the civilian that the rogue put in jeopardy to escape.
The issue of sidekicks would be something that they would butt heads over, there is reason why cap never got a second sidekick and none of the avengers have side kicks to the same degree that bat does
And besides, most sidekicks are children. In fact how old was Dick when he got taken, hell, even Jason. Steve definitely believes that children should not get involve in their issues. Remember that one scene from AoU? He understood Wanda and Pietro immediately when Agent Hill (unintentionally) tried to make Steve indifferent.
They touch on these two at the end of the DC Vs Marvel comics cross over back in the 90s.
Deadpool and peacemaker would absolutely love each other
They got along pretty good during the 90s after they fought eachother.
Steve and Bruce will definitely love each other, and Batman will definitely stand by Captain America in the civil war, literally in the Lego Batman movie, Batman said "Ironman sucks" 😂😂😂😂😂
5:19 I can see Cap and Alfred having some sort of backstory or shared history because of WW2, Cap having served after all and Alfred having worked in MI-6
SEE I NEED MORE OF THIS ENERGY 😤😤😤 Enough of the boring ass "who would win" scenarios, gimme a story where Goku eats Christmas dinner with the Kents
I would pay to see this
Me and my cousin are making our own superhero book with our own characters as well 😁

Do you have discord by any chance? Me and my friends on there have created our own superhero universe and we're trying to grow our community
@@j-money867 Hmm, sorry me and my cousin want to start slow for inviting new people.
@@vontheunknown7982 It would be more like a collaboration
@@j-money867 Sorry, no can do 😔
Are you selling?
I used to say as a kid that i felt like cap should have been a DC hero 😂 for some reason he just gave me that sense of aspiration and admiration that DC heroes often did where marvel heroes were more relatable on a emotional level DC had characters i aspired to be like (solely based off of the kind of comics I read as kid/ at the time) I think but then I realized as I got older if he was in the DC universe he would not get any attention tbh, he’d probably be a C rank hero. Solely because DC abandons just about anyone that isn’t in some relation to their trinity unfortunately 😭 especially some of their classic heroes from the golden and silver ages of comics
I believe that they definitely will work well together. Both are selfless and courageous. Both are fully dedicated to the idea of a hero and saving people. Both hate the idea of killing. Both have great control over their minds and emotions. Both are hardworking. So yes Batman and Cap will be great friends.
Cap and Bruce could never be friends as long as there is an Amanda Waller in play.
Good video
What makes Cap stand out from everyone else is that if you took skinny steve rogers and threw him in the final battle of endgame right before the portals show up, he would still stand his ground. The only thing that changed from the serum was his physicality, but skinny and buff rogers would still take a beating and die just so someone else can live
Cap is basically supermanpersonality wise.... Of course they will be friends
With Cap active during the day and Batman at night, there would literally be no crime in the entire city lol.
Captain America feels like he would fit right into the DC Universe honestly
meanwhile batman roasting clark in dark knight return bkz he does what president tells him
The two most recognized non-powered superheroes
Steve is boosted by science experiments
@@DumbsourplumBruce is powered by plot armor and hurr durr because I'm Batman.
@@Drums_of_Liberation Don't feel like arguing thanks, that would still make them both superpowered
I suspect that they would eventually have a falling out, after Cap discovers Batman's contingency plan for him.
AWESOME video but what do think Ultron & Brainiac's dynamic with each other and who do you think would win in a fight. ?
Honestly, I get the feeling it would be Alfred or the pennyworth family that would be connected to cap
I can imagine cap and Bruce Wayne talking and cap in a moment of respect telling him that if he had been given the super serum he would become exactly what he is right now
There was a time when Steve became deeply distrustful of the government and changed his alias to Nomad. If that were to happen while Batman was around, that would solidify the alliance.
I haven't seen it in the thread, so I'll mention it here: Two samurai met on the road, and each decided to see how tough the other was. So they drop into their fighting stances -- and stop, because each immediately sees from the other's stance alone how he'll react, and it's a Mexican standoff. After a few seconds one guy shifts to another stance, only for the other guy to take the proper stance to respond. After a while the other guy does the same thing, with the same response. Rinse and repeat, alternating. Finally as the sun's going down one guy straightens up and says, "Dude, this shit is useless. What say we go on down into that village yonder and get us some brewskis?" and the other guy says, "Cool!" The end.
My point? This is how Batman and Captain America always end up. The Dark Knight and the Sentinel of Liberty are like diamond cut diamond -- they can't beat each other, and quickly come to respect each other too much to try.
Batman and Caps would get along just fine. Batman promise to protect all of America, Caps promise to protect the latter's hometown.
"batman wouldn't have a tower like the avengers" my brother in christ he funded a space station for the justice league
I think they’d initially clash cause I see Cap as more of a do good Boy Scout whereas Batman is a vigilante.
I want a Spiderman to Batman comparison.
What do you mean love eachother , you mean like and respect eachother right
Oh yeah there would definitely be a bromance there
I think that Bruce would relate to Steve better than Tony because while he's as rich as Tony, he's not an entitled 'rich kid' like Tony. Bruce sees his family fortune as a means to an end, not something that defines him. He is dedicated to upholding his family's legacy of philanthropy, unlike Tony who rebels against his family and defines himself as a wealthy playboy. So I think that Steve and Bruce have similar enough character that they would align very well. They compliment each other.
Dare-Devil and/or Punisher would have an interesting dynamic with Batman. I also would love to see Clark Kent mentor Peter Parker.
They get along in DC vs Marvel crossover
Generally I agree, but the one counterargument I'll make is that Captain America doesn't trade lives, while Batman puts the mission first (at least, based on their DCAU/DCEU/MCU personas).
Genuinely speaking, In my opinion, the biggest difference between the Avengers, and the Justice League is the fact the Justice League tend to be in agreement on the task at hand while the Avengers bicker and argue. Seriously, The JLA don't agree all the time, but they don't have major clash of ego and personalities that the Avengers have. That is actually what make both teams Great.
