Going into this thread, I mused to myself "No way its Vicky Vale" and low and behold she's not even an option here.

Sasha Bordeaux. All other answers are a joke in comparison.
I'm surprised she isn't even an option in the poll, but I could never really get behind this relationship. I loved the idea of Bruce having a female body guard. But I generally don't like Bruce paired up with people he trains. I'd rather there not be that power dynamic.

But yes, I vote Catwoman. Even if you point to Damian as evidence, I would argue Earth 2 Huntress predated him by a bit.
I firmly believe that if Helena was a boy she would have been brought into canon like Damian. But she's not, so we get either weird dimension shenanigans or not being Bruce's child.

Wait. When did Bruce bang Black Canary? Was Olliver Queen watching from the sidelines crying?

Bruce is yandere for Joker, you don't have to like it but it's the objective truth.

Batman x Wonder Woman forever and I'll never change my mind.

Y'know I like this one too

I think actually my ideal version is a much more sexually open DC Trinity ... open relationship... Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. Each have individual partners, plus each other... Look, I didn't mean for it to get so oddly porny so quickly. It just happened.

Some of those are pretty strange inclusions over the more long term love interests he's had.

Not that it really matters because the answer is and will always be Selina.

I do enjoy his relationship with Diana, but not as endgame.
this.

Selina forever.
But his thing with WW is cute in JL stuff.


...Talia's a loser.

Your reasons for disliking is exactly why I like it so much. It feels messy and awkward at times and it actually ends because it just can't really work. And that is all more appealing than the infinite 'on again, off again' of Catwoman or the one-and-dones of most of the rest.

Plus she moved on to a nice guy, Mr. Terrific, who is not an emotionally constipated mess.

I thought this was going to be about the love interests in the movies, and I was ready to say Chase Meridian from Batman Forever.

Catwoman sweeps it. The double date with Superman and Lois was too good in the comics for me to pick anyone else

Greatest is Selena, but my favourite is him Diana — but then I=thats just me growing up with the Justice League cartoon tbh.

It's either himself, his dominant hand, possibly a bottle of lube (made by Wayne Enterprises, of course), or the Joker.

The safeword is "darling".

also, the serious answer might actually be self-loathing capitalism, but I'll allow the Joker to get some bat-action since he's been dying to get some since 1936. Truly, stealing Batman's heart may be the heist of the century! (literally, in fact. :> )

Selina is the right answer. Dick should have been an option, along with crime & punishment. I liked the idea of Bruce and Zatanna though. Wish there could have been more stories on that.

I'd rather we not joke about a father sexually abusing his adoptive children even if it's fiction, but maybe that's just me.

The guy took an orphaned kid, used the tragedy of the loss of his parents to train him to fight his war, dressed him up in brightly colored tights as a distraction while he took on hardened criminals, had a falling out with him, then replaced him with another troubled kid who ended up getting killed, then replaced him with a third kid whose dad dies as a direct result of him being Robin, then takes a fourth kid who dies by power drill (though thankfully Steph gets better).

I get what you're saying though, just pointing out that slandering him is not even close to how terrible he is as a father figure. :)
