    I am cool with it. There are batman stories that don't involve super powered beings so it's not like he is with the JLA or superman ALL the time

    I never cared for Batman teaming up with JL heroes outside of the JL book. I always preferred how the JL animated series handled Batman's relationship with the other heroes, he's there when needed, but other that he wants to be left alone.

    No. They're the World's Finest and complement each other perfectly. Not having them teamup is what would be weird.

    Why would i hate it?.

    I hate when they need to be edgy and have them fighting for no real reason, other that marketing gimmick.

    The problem is not that Batman team up with Super powered people, the problem is that isnt happening for organic reasons and in organic ways.

    Batman and Superman teaming up is awesome. They're friends of course. However I think it gets annoying when they're trying to one up each other. It's a bit juevenile and seems to appeal to fan boys of either fan base.

    I like it, depending on the circumstances. In Superman Unchained, it was perfect. In some other stories, they are jerks to each other. I don't like that.

    Like many have said here it's OK when it's done in an organic way that makes sense but I personally don't think it should be a regular monthly comic. Limited series every so often is the way to go imo

    They work perfectly. The only reason why they don't look like it nowadays because different writers always pick this concept out to make Batman go against Superman, it gets boring. I do have to admit that I did like the thought of Superman VS Batman, but when they always go against each other it bores me. Seeing two heroes who should be on the right side, being fooled by some maniac (Joker or Lex, etc.) To kill each other.

    I agree I often prefer Batman stand alone stories, but I like his presence on the JL, even if he is only really present at times.

    I'd rather read about them teaming up than them fighting. Their teamuos are awesome, batman doesn't have better chemistry with anyone else outside of his batfamily. Plus I always love it when Superman tries to help and Batman always tell him to GTFO basically.

    Batman teaming up with Supes or JL kills off a lot of concepts and themes that makes up Batman but it also gives a different take on Batman's character which I am cool with every once in a while

    As long as it's JUST with Superman, it's good. It's actually awesome. I'd want a show.

    I never liked Batman in the Justice League. He was pretty lame there. All he is is the smart guy who throws things at superpowered beings and or distracts them (this ends up in him getting rekd) until help come.

    He never seemed on par with them, and he could be if he wanted.

    Batman is pretty useless except for this tactical and pis mind against super powered beings so when Superman and him teams up, Batman always has to brood and be shown smarter than Clark. When in actuality, Clark has alien geniuses as parents and a freaking alien brain. Should at the least be on par but u know, comic book logic. People would hate superman if he is seen as smarter than Bats and would undermine Bats position in the league. Plus people want to believe that if they work hard enough, they can kill a planet busting alien with a gadget.

    I kinda agree with this, but lets be honest. If Batman and Superman teamed up for a Batman level criminal, there would be no story. Batman would show Superman a picture of who he's after, Superman would fly into the sky, use x ray and telescopic vision, find the guy and be back in seconds.

    no superman teams up with batgod, because superman needs help. Batgod can take out anyone with that prep ability.
