Batcap

Batcap:

What if Earth's two most powerful men teamed up?
I would propose that out of all the superhero teams that have come about this one would be the most influential and powerful. Doling out "Justice for all" in one super-powered punch and a toss of their weapons they would become a force not to be reckoned with. Let us explore just how effective a duo like this would be and how they could be a force of good.

Origins:
This wouldn't be the first time that Batman and Captain America have met before, in the Amalgamation between DC and Marvel in the 1990s, Batman was pitted against Captain America and it was decided by vote of the fans of who would win, (Batman won). But the duo was so popular that a spinoff was created where Batman and Captain America were teamed up to face the Joker and the Red Skull together. When Captain America is sent stateside to Gotham he uncovers a horrible plan of the Red Skull who has teamed up with the Joker. He meets Batman and they team up for the fight, (Bucky also teams up with Robin). So them teaming up isn't as far fetched as it might seem, it's technically canon.


Why It Works:
Batman and Captain America both stand for Justice above all else. They both do what the normal people cannot and will not do. We see Batman constantly going against the government or the policemen to do what actually needs to be done, and we see Captain America doing the same, (Cap 2: Winter Soldier). I believe that if the cause was great, they would agree to fight along side each other. They also believe in getting what is best at all costs. How many times in cinema have we seen Batman and Cap being as stubborn as can be in the name of what is right, (then it causes a major rift in whatever team they are on), but in the end it is inevitably what needed to be done. They are no nonsense.

Foiling:
They don't have everything in common, but they foil each other nicely. Captain America can be the face of America, he can take the public eye nicely whereas Batman likes to remain in the shadows. And likewise, Captain America can't do the things Batman can when it comes to making the enemy pay. Essentially Captain America is a good man, and Batman, (though he has a good cause), will literally stop at nothing other than killing to get what he wants. If the Batcap team wants information from a villain they have an excellent "good cop/bad cop" routine. Batman can be more brutal than Captain America, and Captain America can complete the 'good guy' look for the team. They would share a similar relationship that Batman and Harvey Dent have in The Dark Knight, as well as a relationship like Cap and Black Widow.

They Are Really Just Men:
Besides Cap being super-soldiered, he has the same ego and mentality as Batman (minus the complete self-righteousness). They relate to being the sense of reason in their respective teams and I feel would get along pretty well through this. Not that Batman is one to show much emotion, Captain America would sympathize with him. (I feel their relationship would be akin to Sherlock and Watson, but on more equal terms). They keep a level enough head and know what needs to be done, without the sarcasm or egotistical problems that other members of their team may have. They both personify some tendency to be a loner, rather than deal with the squabbles of whatever is going on in the Justice League of the Avengers.

Conclusion:
In the ongoing quest for Justice these two would be the driving force in bringing Justice to all. With Batman's peak human strength and Captain America's peak superhuman strength they would be a force for good that no villain would soon mess with. With Batman's master detective skills and Cap's utilization of them, they would become the greatest tacticians the world has seen. Batcap would rid the country of injustice and inspire others to help their cause creating a worldwide phenomenon and bridging the bitter gap between Marvel and DC, (so please please please, Disney buy DC and do a movie with them!)
