    Black Canary and Poison Ivy aren't love interests.

    Jezebel Jet, Silver St. Cloud, Vicki Vale Andrea Beaumont, Clark Kent. They were love interests.

    @nybreezy: Too many names? No, they are actual love interests. It's not my fault you made a half-assed thread.

    Black Canary's not a love interest. Just because she may have flirted with Batman 10 years ago in one panel, doesn't make her a love interest in the slightest. Poison Ivy? Uh... no. Might as well add, the Joker and Killer Croc.

    @nybreezy: lmao. You're making the assumption that my feelings were hurt and I'm salty, so you tell me to go kill myself. That's ironic.

    Not really. Besides dressing up in an animal theme costume during the night and sexual tensions, they have little in common. Their whole dynamic is similar to a cat-and-mouse game. If any of them catch each other, the game would be over. I'm more content with them just flirting. But that's just my opinion. I still can't get over the fact that she used to be a prostitute. Makes you wonder if she has a STD or something.

    You can say that just about everybody in comics. Everybody is practically an orphan. An outcast.

    Not really. He's always brooding around her even after the Hush storyline, it didn't take long for Bruce to start questioning her. They will always have trust issues. She will always be a criminal to him. Always the enemy. The only female characters I have seen offset his brooding manner is Diana and Zatanna in Pre-New 52. With Diana, he seemed more humble and with Zatanna, he lightened up and joke around more. And about them lacking powers and achieving greatness through rigorous training, you can say that about all the super-heroes that aren't super-powered: All the Robins and Batgirls except for Damian, Huntress, Red Arrow, Lady Shiva, Karate Kid, Green Arrow, Wildcat, etc.

    I was thinking about putting her in. But I'm still not over the SMWW thing. It just leaves a bad taste for her character with me.

    Poison Ivy or Zatanna. Black Canary could be fun, if DC ever decided to move them past the flirting stage. Although, it'd be awkward with Bruce having romanced her mother in the past as well...

    Clark Kent has never been Batman's love interest. Unless you're talking about that one Elseworlds where Batman was a chick, but you could just as convincingly claim that wasn't really Bruce Wayne and doesn't count.

    Honestly, even though Zatanna isn't really a love interest, I've always liked the idea of Batman/Zatanna given their history and their contrasting abilities and how Bruce was written when interacting with her. It always felt that they might be a good pairing.

    Poison Ivy is the most intresting option IMO, i cant see a way to change the other women to fit the bat more and canry\zatana are way too sane for the bat , nah he need some crazy.

    cat woman was done to death and she is a thief what motivates selina is greed cant find morality in that. now that she is a crime lord i hope things will be more intresting and not in a romantic way.

    talia is ....... well yeah. cant realy see a murderous assassine as a love intrest, i dont even get how did he liked her from the get go must leave it under "that old wacky writing" leftovers. what motivates talia is her father's ambition of worlds domination through some kind of a shadow organization ...try and put a spin on that one.

    Poison Ivy is a super powerd plant based extrmly sexy guilty pleasure in the form of a woman. whats not to like.

    pamela motivation is protecting the wold's plant life, over all sound nice , but as she got no limits whatsoever on how to go about it, she cant be with him but i can see an easy way to turn her to a kind of green heroine.

    All of them are great but my favorite is Zatanna. Canary and Ivy also sounds like an interesting idea.

    Wow, those decriptions.

    Anyway, I like Selina Kyle the best. Would like to see her and Bats together for real once but DC will never allow it unless it's short term. =/

    Catwoman/Selina Kyle.

    The real Bruce Wayne is kinda serious, cold, obsessive and self-destructive. He needs someone who can make him loosen up, having fun, without being unguarded.

    Selina is playful, fun, but still alert of her surroundings. She understands Bruce and his mission very well. Though she's categorized as a criminal, she doesn't kill innocent people (directly or indirectly), that means she still have the good side in her. She is independent, can take care of herself and even sometimes helps Batman with her skills/relations with some villains. Like Bruce, she loves Gotham and has never tried to destroy the city. She knows Bruce/Batman has many lovers and flings but she's cool - just a bit sarcasm towards Bruce, but she's not the type who stalks his lover let alone killing her.
