I've always loved those wild cross-company matchups, and yes — Batman has shown up alongside Marvel heroes, but only in special crossover events, not as a regular Marvel character.
Back in the day there were a handful of officially sanctioned team-ups where DC and Marvel let their icons share pages. Notable examples include the old-school team-ups like 'Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man' and the one-shot clash 'The Incredible Hulk vs. Batman'. The big 1996 event 'DC vs. Marvel' (sometimes called 'Marvel vs. DC') is the most famous: characters faced off in battles and then the companies spun out the fun 'Amalgam Comics' experiment, which fused characters into hybrids. Batman’s DNA showed up there as 'Dark Claw' — a moody Wolverine/Batman mash-up that still cracks me up and thrills me at the same time.
Later on the grand crossover 'JLA/Avengers' brought the Justice League and the Avengers together in a massive, lovingly produced event where Batman appears as part of the League. Outside these special, mutually agreed projects, Marvel can't just drop Batman into its ongoing titles — rights and continuity keep him squarely on DC's side. For me, those rare team-ups are like epic fanfiction made canon; they scratch the crossover itch without breaking the rules, and I always re-read my favorites when I want that improbable face-off energy.

Confession: I get a little obsessive about comic-book continuity maps, and that makes this question fun. At the most basic level, 'Batman' is a DC character — he belongs to DC Comics and historically to Warner Bros./DC Entertainment on the screen. That means he’s not a Marvel character and he isn’t part of the MCU, which is Marvel Studios’ cinematic universe under Disney. The confusion usually comes from the fact that there have been many different Batman films and versions, and only some of those fit into the DCEU timeline.
If you look at the more recent shared DC movie universe from the Snyder era, Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne is indeed part of that DCEU continuity: he appears in 'Batman v Superman' and 'Justice League' (and the Snyder cut). But not every Batman film is in the DCEU — Christopher Nolan’s 'The Dark Knight' trilogy is a completely separate continuity, and Matt Reeves’ 'The Batman' featuring Robert Pattinson is its own standalone world too. There are also countless animated Batmen, TV shows like 'Batman: The Animated Series', and comic crossovers that blur lines, but those don’t make him Marvel or part of the MCU.
So short, clear takeaway: Batman = DC, not Marvel; not in the MCU. Whether he’s in the DCEU depends on which cinematic Batman you’re watching — some are, some aren’t. Personally, I love spotting how different creators put their own spin on Bruce Wayne depending on the universe they inhabit.

Call me a continuity nerd — this stuff is deliciously messy. In the broad, classic sense Batman and Superman absolutely belong to the same family: they are both DC characters and, for most of comic-book history, live in the same shared universe where Gotham and Metropolis are cities within reach of each other and the two heroes team up in groups like the Justice League. Comics like 'Kingdom Come' or 'The Dark Knight Returns' are famous, but those are either alternate takes or future visions rather than an attempt to split the original pairing.
That said, DC loves reboots and multiverses. Events such as 'Crisis on Infinite Earths', the 'New 52' reboot, and 'DC Rebirth' have reshuffled who lives where and which versions of Batman and Superman exist at any given moment. There are also countless Elseworlds tales and one-offs where Batman and Superman are radically different or never meet. On top of comics, the film and TV worlds create their own rules: the Christopher Nolan 'Batman' films sit in their own continuity, while the DCEU films like 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' intentionally put them together on screen.
Crossovers with Marvel are rare but real—think 'JLA/Avengers' and earlier events where publishers agreed to team up or pit heroes against each other. So the short version I tell friends is this: Batman and Superman are primarily part of the same DC universe, but between reboots, alternate timelines, and cross-company events you can find versions where they are separate. For me, the different takes are part of the fun — I love tracing which versions actually interact and why.

Straight up: Batman is a DC character. I get how confusing the whole universe-soup can be, but Bruce Wayne, the Bat, first appeared in 'Detective Comics #27' in 1939 and has always been a property of DC Comics. The creators most often credited are Bob Kane and Bill Finger, and over the decades DC has kept the rights to Batman across comics, TV, games, and most films. That’s why Warner Bros. (now under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella) makes the big-budget Batman movies and handles the cinematic universe that features him.
I love tracing this stuff because ownership affects everything — tone, adaptations, who can cameo where. DC’s versions of Gotham and its rogues gallery are distinct from Marvel’s New York and its cast. Even when other studios handle certain characters (like how Sony has had film deals for Spider-Man), Batman has remained squarely in DC’s stable. For fans that means the trademarks, core storylines, and official continuity surrounding Batman are controlled by DC, which shapes how the character evolves. I still get a kick seeing how every new director or writer brings their own spin to Gotham, but yeah: Batman = DC, no debate in my book.

People mix heroes up for all kinds of silly reasons, and 'Batman' is no exception — he is DC, not Marvel. I’ve lost count of the times someone swore a cape-and-cowl image was from the Marvel camp; the confusion usually comes from the vigilante vibe. 'Batman' shares stylistic DNA with Marvel street-level characters like 'Daredevil' or 'Moon Knight' — urban night patrols, morally gray justice, and no superpowers — so casual fans sometimes fold him into Marvel by mistake.
Beyond looks, modern pop culture muddles lines. The Netflix 'Daredevil' and Christopher Nolan’s 'The Dark Knight' trilogy both use noir, gritty cinematography, which blurs the map for people who only watch movies. Merch tables at conventions and knockoff tees sold online slap logos together haphazardly, so someone glancing at a shirt or a bootleg poster could easily misidentify the universe. But to be clear: 'Batman' lives in DC's world, alongside names like Superman and Wonder Woman, and his rogues' gallery, Wayne Manor, and the Bat-symbol are firmly DC staples. I still enjoy pointing this out at screenings and comic shops — it's a tiny victory when someone lights up and says, “Oh, that’s DC!” — and it always makes me smile.
