    They're both sexy. But yeah, opposites attract, Bruce shouldn't date someone like him, it would be bad.

    Well there are some obvious things they have in common. They both dressed in animal themed costumes to gain power in a city over run with crime. They are both sort of anti heroes who live in shades of grey and do what they feel is necessary. Like you mentioned they had rough childhoods because they didnt have their parents. They also both dont use guns and they prefer to work alone. Those are some things I can think of off the top of my head.

    Theres also the way they use their secret identities. Bruce and Selina are more like their masks and Batman and Catwoman are the real person. Bruce uses his secret identity to throw off suspicion of him being Batman and Selina uses her identity to hide amongst the social elite. She also sometimes uses it for when preparing for a heist. Neither feels complete without their costumed identities. At least thats how I view it.

    How would it be bad to date someone a little more similar to him?

    @lxlgiftedlxl: Sexual tension often develops from encounters with people who provide fresh experiences. Basically people who are your opposites.

    Because Bruce is kinda cold, he isolates himself, he's overly obsessive and self-destructive. The real question is how would it be good for Bruce to date someone similar to him?

    Bruce needs somebody who forces him to actually enjoy himself, somebody who's actually fun to be around. Batman dating another person like him would just make him worse.

    However, at the same time he's so messed up in the head it would be pretty much impossible for him to date a normal, non-costumed person just because there would be no challenge for him, it would be dull and boring. Not to mention the difficulty of juggling Bruce Wayne's personal life and Batman's duties. It's gotta be reassuring for him to know that the woman he loves is a highly trained fighter too right? Bad guys have a habit of going after loved ones.

    That's why I always thought Catwoman was a perfect match for Bruce. If they were more similar, it would be two people who barely talk to each other, showing absolutely no emotion. Catwoman mixes things up enough to make it interesting.

    • They're orphans
    • they both have duel egos
    • they had tragic childhoods
    • they have suffered a lot of pain mentally and physically
    • neither of them agree with guns or killing
    • they've had young protégé's who they see as siblings (the robins for Bruce and Holly Robinson for Selina)
    • they're both very independent
    • neither of them take crap from anybody
    • both are very lonely people
    • they both need someone to combat this loneliness, i.e. each other
    • both struggle with the idea of a normal life, even if they want it at times
    • they have both protected and saved innocent people (obviously Bruce has done this a lot more than Selina has, but she wouldn't let innocent people get killed if its happening in front of her , plus she protects the poorer side of Gotham which frequently gets overlooked by the police and sometimes even batman )
    • they have strong trust issues with people and sometimes with each other
    • they're both very attractive, wear costumes, live in Gotham, prowl the night and know martial arts ( obvious ones)
    • they break the law (in very different way though)
    • they share a mutual understanding of each other.

    there's probably some things that I've missed out but those are the one I can think of off the top of my head. having said these, they do have a lot of differences as well which is why I think they're so great together. too similar would be boring.

    What do any of Batman's love interests have in common with him, aside from maybe childhood?

    And they already over sexualized Dick enough, so they shouldn't put Catwoman with him.

    @mister_pimping:

    Some people in this thread given great reason of the things Bruce and Selina have in common which are a lot kinds.

    I agree that Dick should not be put with Selina. Bruce and Selina workout way better as they bring out the best in each other.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    @lxlgiftedlxl: If they did put Dick with Selina, the outrage would be equal to three atomic bombs or more.

    They over sexualized Dick WAY TOO MUCH IMO. Bruce and Selina belong together though, IMO once again.

    @batman2000516: I agree with you that Bruce and Selina belong together and are the best match.

    I was just posing the question to see what other had to say about Bruce and Selina's relationship.

    *This is the original post* (I accidentally deleted the OP trying to edit it).

    I ask because I would like to know what do Bruce and Selina have in common with each other, from you guys and gals out there.

    Recently me and some friends were talking about them and my friend said they don't really have much in common aside from rough childhoods, and then suggested that Catwoman and Nightwing had more in common personality wise. To which I disagreed with, saying Batman (Bruce) and Catwoman (Selina) have tons in common despite having their few differences and that Bruce and Selina bring the best out in each other.

    So my question to all of you is what do Bruce and Selina have in common?

    What is your opinion on Bruce and Selina's relationship?

    And if you don't think Bruce and Selina don't have much in common (aside from their rough childhood) would it still be possibly for them to be in a relationship?

    Games Room: Experience Epistemology

    Battleship (also Battleships or Sea Battle) is a guessing game for two players. It is known worldwide as a pencil and paper game which dates from World War I. It was published by various companies as a pad-and-pencil game in the 1930s, and was released as a plastic board game by Milton Bradley in 1967 (source of information: Wikipedia).

    In the American film "Batman Forever" [1995], the Riddler (Jim Carrey) and Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) are involved in a mischievous Battleship board game which is connected to a river mine network surrounding their fortress as Batman and Robin attempt to infiltrate.

    I can see Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Catwoman (Selina Kyle) engaged in a schematic Battleship board game, since they are both eccentric street vigilantes who are interested in strategy footwork.
