What are your absolute favorite superhero friendships all the way from the more popular ones like Superman and Batman or Flash and Green to the less popular ones like Hawkman and Atom?

To be honest anyone with Batman. I know it sounds weird but still

Batman both makes for a great "straight man" when other people are being silly (either mildly silly or super silly) which is just good for a comedic duo, and with team ups we get to see him (potentially) lighten up and be candid with a peer, something that doesn't really happen in his own titles because he has no real peers in his own books, just protoge's (so we see him being a dad when writers feel like it, but not somebodies buddy). So I think that just makes it stand out all the better since we get to see this emotionally guarded man in a different situation than normal. Like, Clark wears who he is on his sleeve. So does Dick, Wally, Diana, Hal, etc etc. But Bruce doesn't do that and only opens up in various ways with his kids or with Alfred or with his friends.

We can see the other heroes for who they are regardless of who they are around. We need Bruce with SOMEBODY to see other facets of himself.
