I don't know, there have been plenty of Batman-Swamp Thing teamups, and they've never had much chemistry, because while Bruce Wayne allows for and combats the complexity of the causes of crime, Batman deals in absolutes when it comes to punishing criminals. See the Batman vs. Swamp Thing spat over Killer Croc awhile back.
Batman-Green Arrow seems a little overdone. That and Swamp Thing have actually been pretty well trod, for Batman teamups post-Crisis. And I think GA was maybe the most frequent Batman teamup in the old Brave and the Bold. I'll have to go back and look. Still, it can work. Poison Tomorrow was interesting, as was Brotherhood of the Fist. Even if it's overdone, you can't ignore the obvious chemistry of nonpowered heroes working together. That's why I wish Batman would team up with the Question more.
The only B&B stories I've read had Swmapy and Green Arrow and I really liked them, so that's why I said there should be more! I had a feeling GA was quite common in there....but so what? The stories will be a different standard and style these days no?
You're right Batman and Green Arrow just seem like a great combination. As non-powered heros with similar methods I could see them shunning assistance from others and *shock* actually being friends as well as partners. I'd wanna see them on stories outside of Gotham in exoctic locations.
Also if Batman doesn't really get on with Swampy and Aquaman then hell that's all the more reason to force them together imo. I suppose I'm saying that cos they're two of my favourite DC characters, but they would definetly work in stories that stretch Batman beyond his typical fare.
Dream and Delirium? Where does that story go?
Are you kidding me? This could be a goldmine and it would be trippyyyyy. One, in a dream realm Batman would be physically powerless - but then his strength comes from his mind no? Interesting take, he'd have to exert his mind more than ever before.
Two, what would Bruce be without the influence of Dream? I like to think that Bruce isn't just a mere mortal in Dreams eyes, he's a special one he keeps tabs on like Will Shakesphere or Hob Gadling. I'd like to see their interactions, their bargains. And then consider Delerium. Holy shiiiit, Arkham Asylum must be a playground for her. She's the bane in Batman life! There's alot of stuff to play with here.
Also I imagine when Batman meets Death he'd have a few harsh words for her. And she for him. I bet she could reduce Batman to a shivering wreck. As in 'you can never beat me darling'. I'd like to see Batman as a pawn in game between the Endless, with Dream as his ally and real repurcussions in Gotham.
