If Superman and Batman merged together into one person, how different would this man be if he has a mixture of Superman and Batman's memories, fighting skills, emotions, etc and can't change back...ever? Note: This scenario could take place on any DC universe.

@frostbite883

An interesting question! While I am not super well versed in DC lore the way I am Marvel, or Game of Thrones I am an avid fan of the DC cinematic universe so I will use their takes on the Batman and Superman.

This is going to get a bit rambly

I for one am one actually like Ben Afflecks take on Batman. This is batman isn't stuck in his later 20s or mid to late 30s. He's clearly been around the block and is in his early to mid 40s. He's not the old man resigned to a mentor role, nore is he an old man compensating with tech for "one final misson" Though as he comments to Diana "I can barely do this now" This is a Batman struggling to adopt to metahumans. He's a batman whose been through some shit, with one Robin dying under his watch and of course like all batmen suffered through the death of his parents at the hands of a criminal with a gun.

This is a batman who makes some mistakes. He's a batman who he fucks up, he's aware he fucks up but that doesn't mean he's not going to call other people on fucking up. His relationship with Clark begins as antagonistic, obsessive hatred, believing the worst in Superman due the personal loss of employees and friends due to the collateral damage that occurred in Man of Steel.

But this Batman also deeply admires Clark after BvS andhis actions in Justice League are largely to atone for his mistakes. After the Climax of Justice League he emerges emotionally healthy resigning himself to sharing the team mom role with Diana.

As for Clark, well I highly recommend watching the scene in Kill Bill Voplime 2 where the eponymous Bill talks with Uma Thurman's character about Superman as well as how Superman being created by two Jewish men is a core part of his character.

Anyway like all Supermen he must struggle with being the Last Son of Krypton, appearing human living among humans raised by humans, loving a human woman but not being human. (Fortunately he is not burdened by warring with his incestuous urges to sleep with his cousin Supergirl nor does toes the DC films want to tackle the implications of Clark being able to impregnate Lois Lane.)

While I could elaborate on Clarkes trauma conga line since finding out he was not normal since adolence and how him being kind of angsty throughout BvS makes some sense considering he had to destroy the last remnant and hope of his birth world and people being able to be restorted outside of aformentioned cousin incest and forced to kill a man who in a happier time might have been his Uncle/Godfather, in man of steel imma get to meats and potatoes of your question.

(Thank God! You're probably thanking)

Anyway a rather large number of fictional protagonists, from the semi historical Paladin Roland to Iron Man to Aragorn and House Stark(and anti heroes like Rocharch from Watchmen and The Punisher fight evil or a good people because of something called Noblesse oblige.

This basically means because you have superpowers or come from a distinguished thousand year bloodline or are rich white guy, you are obliged to be a good person and be responsible. You don't invoke prima noctea on your peasants. You don't bribe the judge to avoid paying that speeding ticket. You don't strangle that fucking hobbit for mentioning second breakfast.

Both Batman and Clark feel obligated to be superheroes because of this.

(Fufilling emotional and psychological needs, coping with trauma aside)

Now a fusion of Batman and Superman would still be motivated in such a way. This theoretical hybrid would be quite frankly fucking terrifying combing the skills and tech of a veteran crime fighter and detective with the skills of an investigative reporter and good old Kansas farm boy in the body of an alien species even more overpowered than the Saiyans of Dragon Ball

They'd also be possibly insane. Scratch that if this superbats was like Gogeta from Dragon Ball Z aware that he is two separate individuals but unable to go back to being two people. Well itd be a miracle if the this superbats is psychologically fit for crime fighting let alone a normal idyllic life.

There's also the difference in upbringing, moral code and approach to everything from how to raise children.... to well everything.

Batman refuses to kill and does not like guns. Superman when pressed will kill. Superman is a hopebringer, basking in light and adulation. Batman dresses like a bat and brands people with a bat brand because his shtick is scaring the shit out of people. There's also the legal question of who this person is for the purpose of say taxes....

Simply put this bat/superman hybrid would be an terrifyingly effective crime fighter lover and father.

If they can overcome the potentially numerous mental health issues that will arise of their origin being fused from two traumatized individuals with different philosophical takes on the world, who come from widely different backgrounds and both pay wildly different amounts in state and Federal Taxes.

Anyway hopes this helps and thank you for the ask!
