The Merc with a Mouth would be the only person who could rival Joker in terms of annoyance in the DC Universe. His particular brand of banter wouldn’t fly here. However, him and Red Hood would probably get along great.

They both understand the need for a permanent solution and the biggest thing they have in common is loss. Both of these guys would bond over losing everything from loved ones to parts of their lives. Both of them have teetered between being a hero and villain many times in the past.

Yeah, it really wouldn’t shock anyone if they formed a bond. There is one problem: No way that Batman would be happy with Jason working with Wade. The Dark Knight may even make it a point to put Wade in Arkham Asylum.

If Tony Stark joined the world of DC Comics, the coolest relationship he’d form would probably be with Victor “Cyborg” Stone. It would be a beneficial relationship: Tony would be fascinated by Victor’s body and knowledge and Cyborg could help Tony upgrade his armor. However, that may be where Tony’s positive Justice League relationships stop.

It’s unlikely that Tony would remain a member of the Justice League for too long – mostly because of Batman. Tony’s too into himself to take orders from Bruce. He’d laugh at the idea of Batman and his greatest villains being a clown with no powers and a penguin. In their other lives, however, Wayne and Stark Enterprises would do a lot of good together. Y’know… in spite of Bruce hating him.
