10 Greatest Superhero Duos Of All Time

7. The World's Finest

Batman and Robin Early Cover
DC Comics

Superman & Batman, the biggest names out of DC aside from Wonder Woman, as well as two founding members of the Justice League of America. Although their 'first meeting' is disputed due to retcons and retellings, their partnership has grown to a level of great mutual respect, trust, and genuine friendship.

Famously the pair have disparate methods and personalities, but similar enough ideals that when done right, seeing them fight crime together can be a thrill of character interaction and interplay. They still clash when Batman's penchant for over-preparedness borders on paranoia, but for the most part they remain close.

Whereas Batman may simply chalk Robin's optimism up to inexperience or youthful naivety, Superman's been fighting crime even longer than them both, showing Bruce that it's possible to remain hopeful even after everything they've faced.
