Dc knows that #WonderBat is the perfect superheroes couple, but for some stupid reasons, they don't wanna make it canon. In spite of that, I love Wonderbat. Always.

That is actually the best pairing DC can make out of Trinity aside Lois and Clark. Or Bruce and Clark for that matter. They both fit Bruce well, though Diana is even more matched with him. In fact she's the best match romantically for him out there. At least so far. Though number of fanfiction and arts on the net would suggest that that spot is reserved for Superman not Wonder Woman :D

Except maybe for Silver and Julie - all Batman's love interest are abusive and downright toxic. Selina, Talia, Adrea, Jet. Because in terms of comics and not relationships it fits Gotham mold. People just tend to forget it after rebirth run. Yeah the one that made Batman impotent and unable to do anything without the Cat around. Exactly that one. And tend to forget how terrible as human beings his lovers really are.

Going back to the point. Both Talia and Selina tried to kill him multiple times in the past, or those close to him. Whatever right? Who wouldn't like a lover that tried to end you few times over. Both assaulted him physically and emotionally. Repeatedly. Both scared his body and his mind. Repeatedly. Both tried to seduce his wards (adopted sons if u like), just to get to him. In Talia's case that was basically pedophilia. That's just sick and makes you want to puke. Both are possessive bitches, Cat threatening his flings while they are in bed while Talia, well Talia can even go as far as beheading (to her credit she was right with this one). Both makes him a goddamn hypocrite. Both face no repercussions after a cold blooded murder while at the same time he berates Diana like a dick when she came to look for his friendship and support after Max incident. Difference is she had no choice while Selina or Talia most certainly had. Great move Bats, hypocrite much? And most importantly they both lie and betray him, and leave him. Over and over again. Again, that's a constant with Cat and miss Al Ghul. Diana never showed any of those traits with any of her lovers.

Get any counselor or psychiatrist to read actual Bat love history throughout the decades and they would be writing books on how disfuncional they are. For a love-hate dynamics they work fine. Or for some adrenaline fueled sex, but that's it. Hell, he even banged Dinah when they were on adrenaline high. It all has a clinical term. Trauma bonding. As opposed to authentic bonding. Which he could have with WW, had even one of them tried.

They did not though. Out of fear of ruining their mutual respect and deep bond. In pre-flashpoint it may have been a thing if Diana acted on it. Again, Diana, not Bruce, so cut the crap on how he was deflecting her. He was in doubt, yeah, but clearly was ready to give it a go. She was the one that got scared even though she was clearly had over bat hills in love with him. Even Martian stated this to Supes. Pre Crisis ? Not really. Some flirting and kissing, nothing more. Post-flashpoint, New 52 and Rebirth ? Also not, though DC like to tease those two. Forever Evil gets a hint that Bruce feels more than friendship towards her, much to Selina's dismay. And that goddamn tension when they got to spends decades together in another realm. Mostly from Diana side again. But no. The real canon love that Diana had for Bruce was during pre-flashpoint, not counting alternative universes. And it was so strong that it showed her loving him more than her mother and sisters. And her lasso forced her to admit it when facing Mera. But Bruce was "dead" at that point. So yeah, never acted upon this. Pity. You could see she regretted it.

Aside their comics history in canon universe, realistically speaking Diana is way more similar to Bruce than Selina will ever be (or Talia for that matter). Even though at a the first glance they are nothing alike. She's the light, he's the darkness. She believes in love and trust, tries to see the good in everyone. He's cunning, distrustful and downright realistic to her idealistic approach. She's honest and straight while he will not hesitate to lie or to use violence to get results. And you know what? It makes for great couple chemistry and tension.
It may be a cliche, yeah, but
Yin and Yang dynamics work. That's why Clark ends up with Lois all the freaking time. Even on elseworlds he and Diana are a thing only after Lois is out of the picture. But that's not the most important thing. Yin and Yang provides for a tension yes, but it would never last in the long run. For a relationship you need also something in common. And Bruce has that in spades with Diana.

They might be on opposite side of the spectrum but than you realize how much alike they really are. They are both kindred spirits. Both born fighters, warriors at heart. Arguably two of the best in the world. At least Diana is according to Batman. And judging by Wonder Woman's choices in man that is a highly important trait to her. Both endlessly fighting for others. Both have utmost respect and admiration for each other. Both tirelessly train to make themselves physically and spiritually better. Constantly. And to make the other better. Their sparring sessions are legendary. And heated. Both with a great heart and compassion. I would argue that Bruce's compassion is even bigger than Diana's. Even though their methods might differ they share the same goal, which he has with no other woman. Both have the heart of a warrior and are pushed by the circumstances of their upbringing to reach for impossible dreams. They are also two of the most stubborn and obstinate people in DC universe. Both perfectly capable of operating solo, and yet both performing the best in a team. And yes, Bats is a great team player. Both natural leaders that other heroes follow without hesitation. Both selfless and able to sacrifice for those they value, trust and love. None of the other Bat trollups have any of those traits. Not to mention they emotionally and physically find the other highly attractive. One being a literal goddess and the other perfect male specimen. As for Batman, his relationships tend to collapse due to a lack of trust. He's either unwilling to bring his romantic partner fully into his world or he can't bring himself to trust completely. While Selina got his trust now, it's recent development. And a mistake judging by latest issues. Again. One would think he's smarter.

When it comes to Diana, he trusts her. Fully. She's not privy like BatClan is to his world, but they aren't that close in mainstream DC. She's not a psycho with daddy issues or a violent narcissist. List can go on. Selina on the other hand doesn't have that much in common with Bruce than she has. Not even close. He loves her, yes. But I don't see Di leaving him countless times over the choices he makes. Or lying, or betraying, or trying to sleep with Dick to spite him or... you get the point. Though there is one thing that gives Kyle an edge. Immortality. Diana won't die unless killed. It doesn't make for a great long term relationship prospect. But then again, those are comics, and he's a goddamn Batman. He would find a way :)
The thing is - there is no other woman that fits his world as much as Diana does. And Bat is capable to loving deeply and going to great commitments with a special woman. He showed it with Andrea, he showed it with Silver. Problem is he always got burned. Every time he let his guard down and opened himself. And he would have to do it when it comes to Wonder Woman. She deserves that. It's hard to imagine with current Bruce, but it is most definitely possible. It would be harder than with an ex criminal or an assassin though. Because there would be much more on the line. The other two would crawl back anyway if he messed it up, Di wouldn't.

There is also another aspect to this outside comic universe. His partners tend to be minor characters compared to WW. She has her own series, JL, JL dark and every major crossover/event happening in DC. They don't. And so does Batman. Both are one of the most popular DC characters.

Besides changes to Bruce writing that are needed to make this work (cough.. pre flashpoint Bats... cough), it would require fitting it to their distinctive titles. And frankly Diana can easily function without any love interest and generate money. It's even easier that way. It fits her as an independent, strong female character. Arguably most iconic of them all. And It's most certainly easier for DC with a tease here and there than an actual WonderBat in mainstream.

I hope DC will soon make a WonderBat comics soon. Hope they gota enlightenment for the Fandom and fans urge for it.

[williss]

This was a good video. Actually there are more Batman and Wonder Woman scenes then this. I can name a lot. Like the one when he first met her, she was taking a bath and he immediately kissed her due to being entranced

[aby]

I seriously dont understand why dc is not considering changing Bruce love interest, it's always the same old boring catwoman. Even superman changes his love interest from loise to diana.

[LadyScarletSmith]

This is just perfect! ❤ Could you maybe, if you have the time, write a short list of which issues you took the images from? I'm familiar with most of them, but there were a few there I couldn't identify and I would love to read more about those two. Thank you!

[marienatcha]

why batman and lots of men don't try his luck with wonder woman and lots of women

[giorgospatras]

Batffleck wonder woman (gal gabot) love story

[jasontempleton]

She's like the only women he can be himself completely around. Around her Batman becomes Bruce Wayne again.

[DrYnroh]

Bats is the only man can hold down that much woman. Best love story in DC imo.

[godricheart]

Where is the comic where Diana is attacking the Joker?

[Bass_Brick_Studios]

James Gunn should explore this in the DCU

[waffleman]

I would like to ask what's the source of the first comic?

Edit: Nevermind found it

[AstaIsAMonster]

*What was that comic called at the **2:00** because that looks amazing.*

[hayleyyeager]

I would like to see an alternate universe where they become a couple and have a child
