From Marvel to DC, I would like to see Daredevil go to Gotham. I think it would be interesting to see him take on Batman's cast of villains, as I think he matches up well with them physically (for the most part), and it would be cool to see him as the DA, facing off against Joker or Riddler at night, then working to put them away during the day. As well, with his experience battling Wilson Fisk, I could see him putting a real hurt on the crime bosses of the city, both in hindering their operations as DD and in shutting them down as the DA. To make this work, however, I have to send Batman to the MU, as there is no way he plays nice with having another hero not part of the Bat Family in town. This actually would be beneficial, because it could tone down the "Bat God" aspect of the character that has had to develop in order to let him seem like a player in a world (and on a team) that has Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, etc. He's just a man, while those are all super-humans with nigh-godlike power, so having him in a more street-level world, dealing with villains like Wilson Fisk and Bullseye as well as other heroes such as Luke Cage, Punisher, and Spider-Man, would allow him to be written as more human. Yes! Ship 70's Batman over to 70's Marvel and let the fun and games begin! A whole new regime of Marvel Knights begins with Bat's appearance. Heck send 60's Batman over to party with 60's Spidey and let the jokes fly fast and furiously. And The Captain you hit it out of the ballpark with DD moving to Gotham and his trials and tribulations (yes, i had to go for that pun) with the Bat villains would be great reading. Catwoman makes for a very delicious love interest for our ol' Hornhead more so than Black Widow ever did. Think of the frustration Murdoch has to endure never being able to put away many of the villains because of their insanity plea's at trial. Plus radar sense versus radar sense with DD and Man-Bat when they face off/team-up would be make for some crazy wild entertainment. Would Robin get to be DD's sidekick learning even more of his acrobatics skills and training along with a wicked sense of humor from DD along the rooftops of Gotham City? Would Barbara Gordon instead of being Batgirl become the domino dare-girl called Devilgirl clad in Crimson and Purple? Oh the joys of such a comic... |

I do wonder what Captain America would think of him tho. |

The Captain, your idea of Batman going to Marvel and Daredevil switching places is so wild and your thinking on this is very precise and you actually hit a grand slam home run with it. I would do this in a heartbeat ...

My choices would be to send Batman to the MU and to send the Silver Surfer to the DCU.
With Batman, I must admit, it's mainly about my fanboy dream of seeing him take on Doctor Doom, who would instantly take the role that Ras al Ghul held for him in the DCU, only to a much greater and nuanced degree. I also think that Batman is one of the few characters who's mythos is so strong that he doesn't need his greater shared universe. If you think about it, even though he's in the JLA (and apparently is the most important character in the DCU Rebirth universe, not just as a commercial property) he has virtually no major ties to any character outside the Bat Family. I'm assuming that I get to bring along Gotham and his rogues gallery? I will say that without Gotham or the Joker, this would change the character fairly significantly.
I chose to send the Surfer to the DCU for several reasons. First, DC has always seemed to have less of a problem integrating heroes with godlike power levels. Second, he has virtually zero supporting cast (with the possible exception of Galactus) which makes that aspect effortless. Finally, I think he'd work great teaming with the Green Lantern Corps, Legion of Superheroes and the New Gods.

Re: Punisher v. Batman. I think the best iteration of this idea was in JLA/Avengers by Busiek and Perez; basically, it all happens off-panel, with Plastic Man later telling the other JLA-ers that Batman spent 20 minutes beating up some "loon in kevlar" to save a bunch of drug-dealers. Epically hilarious (I was never a big fan of Punisher...).
