Previous Post What if after the COIE and Secret Wars II limited series, DC and Marvel traded these two comicbook properties with each other? What would happen if Frank Miller produced his Batman run at Marvel Comics (including the Batman: Year One storyline)? How would this effect the main Marvel Universe if the Batman cast exist there?

And most importantly, would we see a Joker & Dr. Doom team-up at some point in time or not? Well, that's that. If ya'll have any questions, theories or whatever, post me. Late'.

Interesting question. How would Batman fare in the MU? The first problem is, would all of his supporting cast come over? Would Gordon? Because Miller brought up a good point in The Dark Knight; without Gordon's help, Batman could not function in Gotham City.

And another problem is if you look at Batman and Superman, their very cities are like supporting characters. Metropolis and Gotham have their own identities and because they are fictional cities the writers and artists have far more creative liscence.

So I don't think Bats belongs in the MU, with is so very much NYC-centric
