> [@CaptainAmerica\_1987](#): > > I think The Flash would most likely be Hermes :smack: I dunno why I put Hades on there twice. Yes, Batman is Hades and The Flash is Hermes. Filling out the rest of the Olympians with other would-be members of the Justice League is more problematic. Martian Manhunter could be Ares. If we make Wonder Woman as Athena (a better fit, anyway) then Black Canary could be Hera. But who would be Demeter, Artemis, and Aphrodite? ---

Just for a laugh I would enjoy seeing a Disney hero have to face off against a DC super villain say The Reverse Flash, The Joker, Gorilla Grodd, Captain Cold. Yeah seeing some goody two shoes Disney character have to go toe to toe with a psychotic super villain with deadly super powers. ---

Bumping the thread to note that the Joker has only survived so long because he goes up against a goody two-shoes who keeps _saving his life_; toe to toe with the Disney-movie version of, say, Dick Tracy, he’d have been machinegunned into hamburger. ---

He’s a _statue,_ is what he is. None taken. Captain America got beaten by QuickSilver in The Avengers Age of Ultron so naturally he isn’t going to stand against a speedster like The Reverse Flash. Besides He’s Marvel not DC 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dc-comic-book-characters-to-disney-characters/718963.md?page=1)
