10 Comic Book Betrayals We All Should Have Seen Coming
1. Every Joker Team-Up Ever
The idea that Batman would ever ally with Joker sounds inconceivable. However, we all know Bats would do anything to save the day, even buddying up with the deranged jester.
In The Batman and the Bold #191, the pair teamed up for the first time after the Clown Prince of Crime was framed for Penguin's murder. Although this should've been a one-time thing, readers loved watching sworn enemies working together. As a result, DC Comics had Batman partnering up with Joker again and again. Over the years, the two of them have been forced to ally against Ra's Al Ghul, Advance Man, and The Batman Who Laughs. When they were poisoned by the same virus in Batman: Europa, they travelled the globe for a cure.
Because most of these team-ups involve Batman saving Joker's life, you'd think they could find some way to bury the hatchet. Of course, this is Joker we're talking about so that's never going to happen. Every time they pair up, you can practically see the mad clown looking for the opportunity to stab the Dark Knight in the back. So, when Joker makes his move and turns on Batman, no one is the slightest bit surprised.
