Just how did Batman and Tarzan ever end up fighting together?

As the proliferation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the slow, drawn-out birth of DC’s Dawn of Justice has proven, shared universes and the friendships therein are all the rage. Especially these days, it seems all we want is to see our favourite heroes hanging out, whether it be the tentative bromance between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, or love stories like The Vision and Scarlet Witch. Don’t forget the multi-property or corporation crossover, either: success stories such as Batman vs Predator, Judge Dredd vs Aliens and the Justice League/Avengers giving fans everywhere cause to celebrate. If there’s one thing comic book fans love, it’s a good crossover!

That isn’t to say that there’s not trouble in paradise, though. For every Batman vs Predator, there’s a Superman vs Predator; for every Judge Dredd vs Aliens, a Batman vs Aliens 2. Some of it (hello Batman/Tarzan) is just plain bizarre.

So, for better or worse, let’s take a look at some of the oddest combinations of superheroes and their friends, whether it be in-universe allies, violent crossovers, celebrity guest stars, landladies or silly pets. Join us, then, as we take a run through of the unlikeliest pairings in comic book history.
