10 Insane Times Superheroes Teamed Up With Their Worst Enemies
1. Batman & Joker - Dark Nights: Metal
There isn't a rivalry quite as revered (or quite as violent), as the one shared between Batman and the Joker.
The pair have danced a riveting and deadly dance with each other for over seven decades, and though most of the Clown Prince's acts are beyond the pale, different continuities, interpretations and scenarios have seen The Dark Knight put his loathing for the green-haired psychopath to one side, in the interest of the greater good.
And although 2017/18's Dark Nights saga wasn't the first occasion where the Caped Crusader collaborated with the Clown Prince, it certainly made for one of the most impressive. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's swan song to the metal genre (and to the Dark Knight as well, for that matter), was exactly the kind of Batman story fans had been without for years. And though it's important to remember that Joker is the most detestable comic book character going, there's something uniquely gratifying in seeing him team up with Bats to put a stop the Batman Who Laughs.
It might not be a vintage team-up, but it sure is one fans won't be forgetting anytime soon.
