Allies in Conflict
Some characters originally conceived as heroes have come into conflict with Batman.
In alphabetical order (with issue and date of first appearance)
| Ally | First appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bat-Mite | Detective Comics #267 (May 1959) | Bat-Mite is an imp similar to the Superman villain Mister Mxyzptlk. Appearing as a small childlike man in an ill-fitting costume, Bat-Mite possesses near-infinite magical powers and comes from another dimension. Bat-Mite idolizes Batman, and thus he has visited Batman on various occasions, often setting up strange events so that he could see his hero in action. Bat-Mite is arguably more of a nuisance than an enemy to Batman, and often leaves the hero alone when he realizes he has angered his idol. |
| Jason Todd | Batman #357 (March 1983) | Jason Todd became the new Robin, sidekick to the superhero Batman, when the previous Robin, Dick Grayson, went on to star in the New Teen Titans under the moniker of Nightwing. After the character was killed off, he was resurrected as an enemy of Batman, eventually becoming the second Red Hood and assuming a new role as an anti-hero. |

—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
