mine is a tie between Dick Grayson and either Zatanna or Star Fire (I'm a huge young justice/teen titans fan)
what about yours
I'm in the pro Clark/Diana category but since the new 52 started I really enjoyed reading Aquaman and Mera. So much so that I want to go read their pre 52 stuff. I don't know if I could pick a favorite though.

Are you referring to the comics or the cartoons?
Reed and Sue.
I don't really have one.
this
Batman and Zatanna. Only relationship that I can see where Bruce is actually in a long term relationship in. Crazy romantic chemistry with a childhood bestfriend. Can't think of a better love story than that.
No love for Selina?
Personally, I'm a partial to Naomi (Dart) and Oliver (Green Arrow.) I know it's pretty eh, as they never got to really explore it before they put Naomi on a bus, but I thought that relationship had potential. Futures End kind of made that even more apparent.
Diana and Kal-El is another one I like. I think it's a pretty cool pairing, and I like how they've explored it so far.
Jason and Isabel had potential, and I like how they sort of kept things open there.
Batman and Robin
DAMN IT!!! I WAS GONNA DO THAT
@scouterv: I'm indifferent towards her. I think the BatCat is overrated and its the same boring dance for a while. The only way it works is if they make either one of them out of character (Earth 2) or it ends the same way, with Bruce not trusting her and breaking up with her. It reminds me a little bit of Spidey and Black Cat. But long story short, I summarize the BatCat relationship towards a game of cat and mouse. They have to keep chasing each other, but once one of them is caught, the game is over. Its just a thrill chase. Kind of like having a side chick.

What made you feel that Earth-2 Batman was out of character?
If Bromances count I say Luke Cage and Iron Fist but if we're just talking romantic couples then I vote Absorbing Man and Titania, despite being villains they have probably the healthiest relationship in comics.
@scouterv: I never said it was Earth 2 Batman that was out of character. Well maybe a little bit (doesn't have that much of a trust issue I always see). I was thinking more of Catwoman on that one but it still holds true for their relationship to work. You have to make either one of them out of character. In Earth 2, Catwoman is a vigilante instead of a thief. I believe that is one of her main core characteristics. She loves stealing. Its just part of who she is. Again, I'm indifferent to her. The best I think she can be while still being herself is being his f-buddy. Which there is nothing wrong with that.
I just think Batman doesn't have a Lois Lane kind of love interest. The kind of love interest that actually makes him a better person and it's a long term kind of thing. I just don't see a criminal like Selina being one of them. She will always devote to herself, her freedom, and ultimately being selfish. While Bruce will devote to his cause and duty, and ultimately is selfless. Again, I just see them as f-buddy as best.
@scouterv: I wouldn't know. It never happened. I love their potential. I love their chemistry in the two episode that they were in together with the exception of YJ (which is still weird to me on how they reduce her age and pair everyone up in the end). I'm a sucka for childhood bestfriend turn lovers stories (Love & Basketball, Love, Rosie, Lion King, etc.). So those kind of relationship is how I see them having, based on the romantic theme of the story.
While that might be true of Bruce making Selina into a better person, I believe you can't really fix someone if you're also broken. And love doesn't really change a person. Nobody core personality and characteristic change because of love or a child. All the little quirks and flaws of someone doesn't go away because you're in love or have a child. And I don't know why you brought war into this, but from personal experience and interaction with my father, who is still in the Army for almost 20 years and went to 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and seen actual war, he hasn't change at all. Same personality, same characteristic, same quirks. Nothing change with him before, during, or after. Now that might not be the same with everyone, but drawing from him, war didn't really impact him so much. Maybe because he always wanted to be a soldier ever since he was a kid. Now I can almost draw a parallel to Bruce who wanted to get rid of crime ever since he was 8 years old. He most likely have seen war, wether it is in the streets of Gotham or with the JL. I can guess that it doesn't really impact him as much or if at all.
@nybreezy: Well, the way I figure it, Bruce is smart enough and adult enough to know that maybe he has to change for his daughter. Ergo, he had the same effect on Selina along with Helena. And I liken it more to an alcoholic who knows he has a drinking problem that decides to do better for their child. That's a major change, but I think it can happen when you have help.
And I was more referring to Selina's thieving ways in a world at war with Darkseid. I guess it can be seen two ways, but I can't imagine stealing has much appeal when your world is crumbling at your feet, and the people you love most are out there.
@scouterv: Bruce doesn't really got to change that much. He's one of the good guys and one of the most compassionate and empathetic human beings there is (well depending on the writer). When I said he is broken, I meant emotionally. He can't really be fixed with someone who values themselves, their freedom, and is ultimately selfish. Saying having a child will fix everything is a major cop out, lazy writing, and seems more like a plot device. Thats like me saying if he had sex with Poison Ivy and have a child with her that it will fix both of them. I rather see what they can both bring to a relationship and to each other. I just don't see Selina offering anything to the table to Bruce besides someone who he can bring to a hotel room to bang. Thats about it.
And lets be honest. There is always a near apocalypse on Earth like every Tuesday in DCU. Eventually, they wouldn't really care anymore until it actually kills someone they love, but once the crisis is gone and life returns to normal, everybody goes back to their normal lives like nothing happened. And once all the dust settles out, its time to steal for Catwoman.
