    So I was thinking if Batman met the heroes of the marvel universe who would he consider a friend, who would he tolerate, and who would be his rival?

    I was thinking Iron Man would definitely be his rival, he'd be tolerate Spiderman, and he would consider Daredevil his friend. Idk what y'all think?

    he would be friends with nobody. He would perhaps be allies with several heroes though.

    I don't think Batman would have many friends in the Marvel Universe.

    @diabla91: I would say he could be allied with Daredevil, The fantastic 4, Hulk, and Charles Xavier. Between Captain America and Iron Man, I don't know which side he would pick. For Spidey, why not too. As for rivals, I don't think Batman really has true rival, even in the DC univers, Superman sometimes and maybe Aquaman. So in the Marvel univers I couldn't tell.

    @jb681131: true but perhaps rival is a strong word but I think Tony would definitely annoy Bruce and vice versa, considering Tony is often wreck less where as Bruce is discipline. I see Tony messing with Batman sort of just like Hal Jordan does.

    Batman isn't the type to really have friends.

    As far as JLA/Avengers he took to Cap pretty quick. That may have just been a smart choice of ally though.

    He and Daredevil would definitely get along well. They have somewhat similar backstories, almost identical styles of operating and have common goals. I see him having definite issues with Iron Man though.

    Spider-Man would be his friend in the same way Wolverine secretly loves Peter. Peter might even be able to bring out Bruce's light side like Dick does, and like how Peter does Daredevil.

    Speaking of Daredevil I don't see much of a friendship there. They would be allies and respect each other, but no way could those two actually be "friends" and hang out. Look at Batman's relationships in DC, all of his "friends" are typically light characters. Having things in common isn't really enough to form a friendship, Matt and Bruce would have almost no friend-chemistry.

    He would hate Tony Stark's guts and vice versa. It'd be hilarious.

    ...Y'know what, itsjustsomerandom guy already answered all this, really.

    One, more original idea though is Bruce Banner. Sort of like how Bruce brought Solomon Grundy a Thanksgiving dinner during Long Halloween. Bruce seems like he's got some kind of soft spot for dummy monsters, and on the flipside he and Banner would get along great.
