Batman and Nighthawk in "Battle of the Billionaires!"

 

It looks like these two rich boys are at it again!  They were last seen fighting over a gold digger in STF #1295, and they first appeared together frightened side by side in on of this Blog's earliest covers...

  1. If Robin ends up getting involved in this, then it's only fair that Nighthawk be given a kid partner as well, to even things up.

    My suggestion: "Gobble, the Teen Turkey." ;)

    1. LOL :)

      Unrelated team-up suggestion: 'Etta and the Chocolate Factory'
      (Etta Candy meets Willy Wonka)

    2. @Bob Greenwade: I'd prefer Carrie Kelly as the Catbird...aka Kylie Richmond. The test-tube daughter (by artificial insemination of Mrs. Kelly using donor sperm and eggs) of Selina Kyle and Kyle Richmond!

      @Ross: you've inadvertently reminded me of a request I keep intending-but-forgetting to make. Batman meets Goldie Diggers! The manga-like Lara Croft analog who fights archaeological crimes aided by her adoptive were-cheetah sister.

  3. Nighthawk is one of those "same name" character pairings that I'd just love to see, though I'm not holding my breath to see the Champions Universe character on this blog.

    Coincidentally, I just came across another same-name pairing that might be interesting: Mercury. One is an X-Man, the other a Metal Man.

  4. Would like tio see Nighthawk in his original costume paired with a Silver Age Batman,

    1. You sure about that? That's the ensemble responsible for the pre-Mr. Fixit Hulk dubbing him "Birdnose" (during the heyday of the original Defenders)!

    2. @Mike Norris: you can't get much more Early Silver Age than Batman without the yellow circle surrounding the Bat-silhouette. Or more Late Silver Age than Nighthawk in his rocket jet-powered flying suit. Which raises the question: is Nighthawk in the recent past or is Batman in the near-future?

  5. I'd love to see a team-up between these two's alter-egos- Bruce Wayne and Kyle Richmond. I can see all sorts of interesting ways that could happen.

    1. All I know for certain is that these two were probably brought together by the manipulations of Baron Tyme (while they're conducting separate searches for Kirk "Man-Bat" Langstrom)!

    2. Speaking purely for myself? I hope to see Nighthawk meet Man-Bat here, someday.
