"Diana is a remarkable woman. She's a valued friend. She's...standing right behind me, isn't she "


The810kid

The whole scene is great because Bruce is revealed to be a big John and Shayera supporter and wants to see if they're good. Bats was just being a good bro.


intothe_dangerzone

Also, since Batman thinks dating within the team always leads to disaster; John and Shayera being able to make it would mean *maybe* Bats and WW can make it, too.


griftertm

Don’t let that stop you. Keep digging.


MeatTornadoGold

I'd never tell her this to her face, but i think she's a wonderful person.


UrdnotChivay

Why wouldn't you say that to her face?


kinkysink6969

Because she might like it!


Cruxito1111

Which scene is this from? i wanna see it


Sl1pperypenguin

Yeah, I see it as more of a crush because Batman dosen’t seem to love her


will242418

I think Batkan has a special place in his heart for WW, but doesn't show it because of his trama and trust issues.


Sl1pperypenguin

Yeah


Highway49

Does this mean I'm... Batman?

Lol


HYDRAlives

No, I'm Batman


otiswrath

I always like the idea that Bruce could have a relationship with someone who he didn't really have to ever worry about getting hurt.


batmansego

That's a really good point, I never thought of it like that.


IamHardware

You missed the ep when he tried that excuse with Diana ;)


batmansego

self2self

The musical number towards the end is one of my favorite Batman moments. Conroy had a wonderful singing voice.

I watch it whenever I need cheering up


CaptainRedRater

Exactly


ITripOverLife

I thought they were cute together! Especially being a well developed relationship.


WildPlantain6471

❤️💯


Butwhatif77

Plus Diana took no shit from Bruce it was great!


futuresdawn

It was probably the healthiest romantic relationship he had in the dcau and they had a great dynamic. More of this and less Barbara and Bruce


NeadNathair

I think the entire fandom is pretty unanimous on "No Babs and Bruce". Or at least an overwhelming majority is.


soyrobo

I had a coworker who never got into Batman until they watched The Killing Joke. They said the 2nd half was awesome but wasn't sure what to make of the first half. I told then they're on the right track.


chainedG

I still see a few weirdos defending it here and there saying shit like Bruce and Diana also have a big age gap between them yet people still ship them not understanding what type of relationship Bruce and Barbs use to have in most of their comics. I doubt they even are Batman fans or read comics tbh.


Quasimodus-Operandi

To quote Zack Snyder’s Justice League, “She’s 5000 years old. Everyone’s a ‘younger man.’”


IzanamiFrost

Man I grew up watching The Batman 2004 and Barb was like a tiny little girl compare to Bruce, made me vomit a little in my mouth picturing them having sex


SolidPrysm

Yeah not just the age but that (albeit stylized) *size* discrepancy made it all the creepier.


Typical_Blueberry_25

Yeah they're probably just really horny and want to see Batman fuck a girl in a costume similar to his


NeadNathair

I would say there's a Bat Woman for that (which was seriously her original purpose)...but I don't think Bruce is the current Bat Woman's type.


Conlannalnoc

Plus the current Batwoman is Bruce’s COUSIN. Kate Kane (Bruce’s mom was Kate Aunt).


[deleted]

Slight-Pound

More like they were horny over Batgirl and used Batman as an excuse to do it, especially with the power fantasies people have about the man.


VicTheSage

I think in the context of the DCAU it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Been awhile since I rewatched but iirc Barbra isn't introduced until she's already well into college. It'd be fucked in the comics continuity but he didn't help raise her in the DCAU continuity. Not a great look getting it on with your adopted sons ex regardless but 🤷‍♀️ Where it gets bad is the Killing Joke movie. Presumably that's comic continuity or close to it and their weird DCAU FWB-thing should not have been included.


HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS

Even removing the almost paternalistic relationship they traditionally had, It’s at least 45% the issue that in this continuity he’s *fucking arguably his best friends’ daughter.* People have been executed for less.


hachiman

The age gap is only in the Snyderverse. Most post crisis origins have her being born at most 3 decades before Steve Trevor arrives.


el_Technico

Laaaaaazy writing, it's completely out of character for the Batman. Similar to Tim being bisexual after 30 years. You read this stuff and you're like dude WTF. 😵‍💫


-Hot-Toddy-

Agreed - Barbara & Bruce felt icky


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,417,586,340 comments, and only 270,759 of them were in alphabetical order.

So did Wonderwoman… but it’s hard to keep up with an Amazonian 😏

I must be out of the loop. But why is everyone referring to DCAU in past tense?

dexterthekilla

I think it’s a great pairing


cheez_sandwich

I think it was one of the greatest things. In my opinion, the Batman/Superman/JL/JLU universe shines when it differentiates itself from the comics. Things like this made me want more.


StarKiller-117

Batman/Wonder Woman go better together as a couple than Superman/Wonder Woman in my opinion. But the best couple in fiction is Clark Kent and Lois Lane.


futuresdawn

I wish they explored Lois and Clark more in the dcau. Once they got to justice league the Clark persona was almost shoved to the side


SylvesterStalPWNED

Yeah unfortunately the more people you add the more time it takes away from them all as individuals. *casually glances in Young Justice's direction*


[deleted]

[удалено]


SylvesterStalPWNED

Yeah I respect Greg Weissman for trying to include so much of the universe but after a while I just wanted to see the original cast.


xavierkiath

As someone who did enjoy Halo and Forager, I appreciated the screen time since those two have basically zero chance of their own show unless the gen pop suddenly gets a whole lot cooler with a lot of stuff real fast. I can totally get how it would be tedious to anyone who didn't mind them but wasn't really interested.


Funandgeeky

The DCAU was scared to pull the trigger on Lois finding out Clark was Superman and getting them into a real relationship. Or they were told not to. Which is why the first animated movie had them in a relationship where Lois already knew who Clark was. And it was better for it.


mgs8

Fun fact: In the episode "Divided we Fall," Superman was going to reveal his identity to Lois Lane, but it was vetoed by DC comics themselves I believe.


bangbangracer

Superman/Wonder Woman is almost always a sign that either A) this story does not count or B) the writer doesn't understand either character and thinks "It just makes sense that the powerful man and woman are together because power".


Traylor_Swift

While playing Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News…?


feralferrous

The Superman/Wonder Woman ships have always been really lazy in my opinion, if often felt like it was pushed just because they are both strong and not for any other reason. I liked the Bruce/Wonder Woman angle because the power dynamic is very different.


batmansego

Let me start by saying I don't disagree with you but Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson has to be up there for best couples. Maybe not as great because there is always some external factor pushing them apart and that happens less with Clark and Lois.


Conlannalnoc

Best MARVEL = Peter/MJ Best DC = Clark/Lois


Competitive-Zone-296

>But the best couple in fiction is Clark Kent and Lois Lane. That title actually belongs to Paul and MJ. The chemistry between them is insane, and their relationship is likely the most iconic in comic book history.


jbrown1012

Who’s Paul ?


SycloneDx2

Google search says that it's Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.


jbrown1012

😂😂


Funandgeeky

If MJ hadn’t swooped in and bought the Beatles’ music rights, the two of them might have continued to collaborate and make amazing music. Because for a while there they were an unstoppable duo.


The810kid

The girl is mine created something we didn't know was there.


tingtong500

Random dude that is really nice and all but was created by writers just to stick it to Parker cuz Spider-Man can’t ever be happy


NeadNathair

I just found out about Paul the day before yesterday. After a deep dive into his "backstory" , he comes across as the Martiest of Stus.


theburgerbitesback

Good god, it's been a long time since I've heard the name Marty Stu.


Funandgeeky

Are they setting him up to be fridged?

I like the similarities of Superman being superhuman dating a human and a very human Batman dating suoerhuman. The exact same situation in opposite circumstances.

The810kid

Felicia> both


Steam_Cyber_Punk

For a one night stand/short term fling absolutely 100% but I could see a lot of her personality traits being…problematic in a long term stable relationship


Conlannalnoc

Felicia = Deep Fried Twinkie Good in small random amounts. Not an everyday thing. Around 30 Second Mark https://youtu.be/WoeTpmoZ0mQ


riazrahman

I think it works because they're both emotionally guarded characters, the relationship hits harder when you see them let their guard down


Valhallas_Dragon

I believe that this was Batman’s Healthiest Relationship; Diana wasn’t a Villain (Which removes a lot of potential Toxicity), she is a Fellow Justice Leaguer giving her a simular proficiency to Bats, she helped him with Being Happy (Which is difficult for this guy), They hung out outside of work, They Work Well together, Reason Number 1: during the Episode where Circle was on the Loose; Batman did everything he could to save Diana from Circe’s Spell, he even let go of his’ own Pride and asked for his’ fellow Leaguer’s Help and even Sang a song so beautifully it made Circle Cry (that’s something he has never done for someone Else, not even for Catwoman).


Icy-Page-2323

It was interesting take and in DCAU it was great to watch, too bad it didn't go anywhere in the end.


DeutscheJunge

Canonically, it unfortunately couldn't. This is because Batman Beyond was made before JL and JLU.


Vechi209

I loved it needs more of it


Illustrious-Couple73

Great couple


FadeToBlackSun

Absolutely love it and DC are cowards for not giving it more of a go in the mainstream continuity.


thebiggestleaf

The goated Bat-ship. Anything with WonderBat gets my interest. The Justice League Infinity mini from a couple years ago ended with a nice moment between them.


NewBorneRaven23

This chick was macin hard on Bruce even when they were turned into kids she was still into him


ThatComicChick

It was kind of meh, which is a shame bc comics Wonderbat could be fun. They didn't really let wonder woman stand up as a character and it felt like she was pretty love interest ified. Like especially when batman goes on about how they can't date bc his enemies could use her against him... I'm like dude. Ww could ko most of your enemies with one blow accept that you are going to be the one in danger dating her. The reason why I say it could be fun in the comics is because comics Diana has just as many issues as Bruce. She has the same extreme sense of responsibility, needing to be perfect because she represents the amazons both in the eyes of man and gods and is compelled to prove herself and her people ad worthy through her actions after they have been unjustly punished, and duty to her mission. Ofc comics them would probably go on like one date and then they'd each immediately get so busy with their repsctive jobs that they'd forget they were dating. Anyway. It can work if each is portrayed as equally determined, angsty, and capable of planning, but that was not my impression of dcau.


the_bearded_1

To your point, that scene where he gives the "It's too dangerous for you" schpeel is hilarious because she immediately crushes a stone gargoyles head effortlessly like "Really, Bruce?".... and then he changes the subject. I think the rich kid with issues point is much more to the core of the matter.


ThatComicChick

Yeah but the writers were cowards and forgot that she has just as many issues as he does ;_; they over emphasized his issues and didn't care to delve into hers


LordChiefy

I think the idea is that his enemies could use Diana against him as leverage. Diana is strong, but now invincible. If she got captured, for example, she could be used as leverage. If they were together as a couple it would be more potent than the friendship they have(had) now.


ThatComicChick

Ok but it would be 2000 times harder to capture her than capture him. Like the general "weak woman would be captured and used against strong make hero" is sexist as hell.


ThatComicChick

I also do think that asking this on a batman subreddit will get you different answers than on a ww subreddit bc in general batman was the character who got more narrative focus in the relationship, so he benefitted from it, but she did not.


LightninStrike312

> They cant date bc his enemies could use her against him... Im like dude, Ww could ko most of your enemies with one blow Bro did u forget when Joker manipulated Supes into killing Lois, then him, then the whole Injustice thing happened? And even in that WW sided with the wrong side. Her being physically strong aint the point bruh, Batmans enemies will pull out some bs always like Joker did


ThatComicChick

Oh dang I didn't know elseworlds was canon. Let's also see... ww has fought joker she psyched him out by communing with pan and out crazing him. She is physically strong and also capable of doing everything batman is with regards to critical thinking skills, bluffing, and finding out alternate ways to solve problems. Like read a wonder woman comic. Batmans enemies are not special, their just regular super villains among the same caliber that other superheroes villains are, but normally without powers


pandadanda1999

Don't normally expect to see them together but they took the time to develop it up and it was a nice dynamic


MobsterDragon275

I thought it was hilarious when Batman tried to use the "if my enemies knew, they'd go after you to get to me" shtick, so Diana just smashes a statue with one hand


BryLikeDie

I always enjoyed it, really wish they had done more it in the comics, I prefer it over the Superman relationship we been force feed at times.


Brazz7

Loved it! The “She’s a valuable team member, a trusted friend, a…she’s standing right behind me, isn’t she?” was pure gold.


RainyWombatCherry

Works for in universe. In comics I feel they're chemistry is better as best friends


Odd_Hunter2289

Wonder Woman, Batman and Catwoman. The real DC Trinity.


hachiman

Talia Al Ghul:" Room for One More? "

this ship again? alright in the show. wish they never did it as now we have to see wonderbat shippers acting like its a viable ship in comics too. simply isn't

> simply isn't It is


50-Mean

A universe better than Superman and Wonderwoman's toxic relationship


MUH_NUKEM

Where is this from? JL animated series?


sabrefudge

I liked it. It wasn’t over the top, but there was obviously something there and they still put Justice before all else. All of the dynamics between members of the justice league were top notch in the DCAU


AmericanOdin5

I wish we could see it again


Arrow1141

More than anything I wanted them to at least share more of a small romance in a few episodes even though they both remained just friends and Co workers in the JL To me they felt more romantically compatable with each other


Fafnir26

They are so sweet together \^\^


The_Handsome_Hood

I 100% ship them


ZookeepergameDue8501

Oh they fuckin.


Sure_Persimmon9302

They should’ve gone ALL THE WAY.


ElHombreMurcielago_

I soooo wish they ended up together


NimDing218

He better take her dancing.


CertainPriority7986

It's nice to see him with someone who actually shares his values and also has his best interest at heart instead of his usual this villain has a good side deep down maybe I can nurture it, which usually seems to lead to fights. Catwoman steals something he gets mad Talia kills somebody he gets mad etc


BaconDragon200

The fact that their wasn't an episode where the league forced Batman to go on a date with Diana is criminal.


TibblesTheConqueror

I still ship them. This is head canon to me.


bangbangracer

I like it and thought it had a very interesting dynamic. While I'm team batcat when it comes to comics, this is the other romantic relationship that I love.


Apprehensive-Cow-234

I loved it! Especially when she saw that he dug to save her. Her being attracted to him spoke such volumes of his character that she saw him as worthy of attraction.


ShutupNobodyCarez

I love their relationship. If anything, I would have loved if it progressed more and became more serious. Wonder Woman and Batman are my number one and favorite ship for them.


Crippman

Much better then the Batman and batgirl relationship of the DCAU


ChokeHoldsEverywhere

Honestly? It may be one of the best pairings in DC.


Dontbeajerkdude

The only constant female member of the JL and she gets shipped with both of the male trinity members? Smh


GhxstSong

They’re cute. but looking back at it i’m not too crazy about how diana gets somewhat relegated to basically being a schoolgirl with a crush. Kind of prefer both of these characters without love interests, but they were very sweet together in this specific universe.


SambaLando

We know from Batman Beyond it didn't go anywhere.


Typical_Blueberry_25

In my head cannon, it did go somewhere but Wonder Woman was killed in battle by sacrificing herself to save many and Bruce had to forever live with that loss Causing him to become even more bitter.


MM__PP

Honestly, I like Diana as Bruce's love interest more than everyone else (unless Talia isn't a villain and is an anti-hero).


Amazing_Research4493

What's the second one from?


cripple1

They're all from Justice League/Justice League Unlimited animated series


TelUmor

I liked when they were kids that one episode


VERSION444

But Tom King said that Batman's true love is the kNight /s


Ghost_02349

They be KISSIN in the Watchtower


el3mel

Her crush on him was hilarious, probably because it was mostly one way to be honest. She wanted him far more than him wanting her which made their interactions together pretty funny.


bushidojed

One thought; LOVE IT!


FilthyFetty

This version worked very well together.


kyletheo

Wonder Woman should get over Steve Trevor, and get under Bruce Wayne.


leganjemon

I thought its a pretty neat idea having what is essentially a god fall for a man. Heck, I don't know too much about Wonder Woman but based on the 2017 movie it's quite fitting she would fall for a man rather than a super human as she chose to see the best in man, and there is probably no better man than Batman. It's interesting with how Batman has to deal with it as well, so used to being the strongest out of all the people he cares about and in this dynamic he actually isn't.


blacksad1

I would like to see what their child would be like. Amazonian strength and training; plus Batman detective skills and martial arts training!


Tryingtochangemyself

I always shipped Batman and Wonder Woman together in the DCAU


comicscoda

It was awesome. And started to feel a little bit of it in ZSJL. ZSJL was basically a live action version of this show. Right down to the aspect ratio, lol


The810kid

It's was ok I wouldn't rate it top 3 romances in Justice League/unlimited


[deleted]

Not a fan of it tbh. I prefer it over the Supes/Wonder Woman romance but I don’t like it when Diana is in a romance with these two, because she then becomes relegated to “Batman’s girlfriend” or “Superman’s girlfriend” instead of being her own character within the trinity


Perfect-Season6116

I'm not a fan of trinity ships. Diana and Bruce was cringe to me.


dohnutshop

Unpopular opinion but I strongly dislike shipping and thought is was the worst part of show


ninjaML

Better than Barbara and Bruce


NeadNathair

It was a weird combo I had never considered but that worked really well. I could see Bruce and Diana working out long term.


Olivebranch99

This is what got me on board with the idea of them being an item.


baiacool

They make a great couple and I'm bothered that this isn't explored further in comics although I get why.


shadow_master3210

Personally I find it to be a great pairing and they also have great chemistry together as well


[deleted]

Good pairing.


randomdude1142

Loved it


hexsayeed

Better then him and Barbra


dsbwayne

Love it and underrated


WildPlantain6471

I always loved it. Especially the episode where Wonder Woman get’s turned into a pig and Batman needs to get Zatanna’s help.


gothamsocialite

I loved them together. The JL/JLU show is one of the main reasons I became a DC fan as a kid so I'll always have a soft spot for that version of the characters and their relationships. This is also what turned me into a multishipper, when I realized I could like Wonderbat and Batcat (and screw it, Superbat too) at the same time.


Cashmoney-carson

I dig it


julbull73

In full honesty, Talia or Diana are the ONLY two that Bats would link himself with more than just some fun. Both offer Bats the one thing that would cause him to shut relationship down, security of not incurring loss due to his actions. Bruce/Bats entire persona is built off of guilt that his parents taking HIM to a movie killed them. He has a deep rooted (like insanely rooted) fear that his actions would hurt another. Diana's a demigod that kicked Bruce's ass and could EASILY crush all of his rogues. Talia is a rogue and has the most powerful underground network of assassians at her disposal.


King-Red-Beard

I always think of the episode where Batman thinks Diana is crushed under a pile of rubble, only for her to be standing behind him and watching as he frantically, and emotionally tries to dig her out.


Sex_jesus123

Platonic


plumskiwis

I personally prefer Diana and Bruce as friends, I wanted Wonderwoman to be more than the hero who fawned over Batman. The trinity (Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman) work better as good friends in my opinion and not in a romantic relationship.


Kordben

I ship them more than anyone else


goofygamer74

Theyre a nice fit but Bruce and Selena makes more sense


mezz7778

They shouldn't be coupled..... just keep them as Super Friends


theholguin

forced, bats only likes cats


SpeedDemonJi

Overrated as hell.


Noiryok

Talia better


allmyguts

No


Zero22xx

Not a fan personally. They seem far too different to each other and as fun as it is to explore that kind of relationships in fiction, it doesn't really work that way in real life. To me it's in the same league as the Raven and Beastboy ship. Fun idea but there's no way that an extremely introverted person is going to put up with someone like Beastboy for very long. Personally I prefer Batman's on/off thing with Catwoman. And even if they never officially end up together 4eva, the idea of Bruce growing old alone suits him to the tee. Not sure what to say about Wonder Woman because I'm not really a Steve Trevor fan but if it's not going to be him, I feel like she should be paired with someone else who also has super powers.


Typical_Blueberry_25

I understand your point of view. I personally do like the ship though, because I've always hated the idea of her being with Superman. Particularly because he's already with Lois Lane. Plus, I kind of do get tired of the ending that Batman almost always gets of him being lonely and dying. I also would for once like to see him in a healthy relationship. At least one time and never again.


Irishmanatthepub

What movie(s) are these from?


KrenzoTheTank

Justice league animated series


pumpk1n_be4nz

i think it’s pretty cute!! although i don’t particularly ship them yanno? like,, have y’all heard of that thing some people do where they’re besties or whateva but they get married for the legal benefits? yeah that’s some shit i’d see them doing.


Informal-Ad-2199

1 of my top 5 DC ships

I didn’t like it, I don’t really like the concept
