Both look ridiculous as Bobblehead dolls, though; that’s something they have in common.

However, I bet Jesus could convert him over time and considering Bruce’s resources, that could be interesting.

There’s parts (like that) where Jesus’ role in the Bible was more than the ultra-passive vendor of happy dancing unicorn wishes. There’s where I can see Jesus and Batman getting along just fine.

In comic-book-world however, I can see that teamup at the start of the storyline. Toward the middle, Batman’s deep angst and frustration would get the better of him and he’d punch Jesus a nice roundhouse. The end of the book, deeply shadowed, would have Batman, mask in hand, kneeling before Jesus, sorrowfully still full of angst, but mixed with a healthy dose of self-pity, seeking the forgiveness he will never get from within.

(this from a superhero fanatic and atheist)

“My parents are dead!”

“Turn the other cheek my son, and forgive.”

“I going to wreak havoc and pain on Gotham’s criminals!”

“Blessed are the peacemakers; they are the children of God.”

“But they are scum!”

“Judge them not, lest ye be judged as well.”

“Listen, would you just stop bleeding all over the Batmobile?”

“This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and many.”

“Argh!”

The temptation to reframe this as a classic crossover issue — where, if both characters are good guys, it’s almost certain they will clash for the first half or even two thirds of the issue before coming to terms with each other and collaborating against some true threat — is powerful.
