DC superhero team-ups (one-shots)

As I grew up, two of my favorite comic book series were The Brave and the Bold (which teamed Batman with another hero or heroes) and DC Comics Presents (same deal with Superman). Love me a team-up. And especially love me an unconventional team-up.

Therefore, here is a gallery of team-ups outside of those series (or any other ongoing monthlies). Most are one-shot stories but a few are miniseries. Some are typical (Flash/Green Lantern) but many are not (Shazam!/Katana). None are intercompany crossovers (Superman/Spider-Man) or superhero/non-superhero crossovers (Superman/Bugs Bunny).

I will also mention quirky team-ups that were an ongoing series (not counting the Trinity combos Superman/Batman, Batman/Superman, or Superman/Wonder Woman), parts/extensions of an ongoing series, or stories in anthology one-shots. 

What it comes down to: if two character names (or, even better, logos) are on the cover, or if two unlikely characters team up in their own story, I'm in.

The Secret Origins series that ran from 1986 to 1990 often featured two (or more) characters/logos on covers, but inside were separate stories, not team-ups. Still, many of the combos were fun "What ifs?":

• Shadow Lass/Doll Man
• Hawkman/Power Girl
• Nightwing/Johnny Thunder
• Hourman/Warlord
• Adam Strange/Dr. Occult
• Green Lantern (Golden Age)/Creeper
• Uncle Sam/Guardian
• Batgirl/Dr. Mid-Nite
• Jonah Hex/Black Condor
• Guardians of the Universe/Floronic Man
• Dr. Fate/Blue Devil
• Legion of Super-Heroes/Atom (Golden Age)
• Black Lightning/Miss America
• Green Lantern/Poison Ivy
• Animal Man/Man-Bat

Thanks to John Wells for filling in gaps on this long list. 

Can you think of any team-ups I'm missing?
