    Default How long do you expect the Batman/Catwoman marriage to last?

    In comics, many changes to the status quo last for the duration of a single storyline. Others might last for a few years until the momentum from that story is lost, and then the old status quo returns. A precious few actually become permanent.

    What do you see as the most likely case for the Batman/Catwoman marriage?

    None of the poll options match what I think exactly. Presuming the wedding DOES happen and reaches completion, then I see two possibilities. First, if Tom King gets to stay on the book afterword as he'd like to, I think the marriage will last as long as he's writing the book. In the unlikely (BUT HOPEFUL) event that he's off the book after the wedding, I see it lasting a couple years at most.

    I'd like it to be permanent. It'd be something legitimately new for the character, so if writers aren't interested in the the challenge of writing a married Batman, I'm gonna think they're lazy.

    Realistically speaking, I think for a few years before the next inevitable line wide reboot.

    Because Tom King has made me hate them together, I hope it ends quickly. I think there will need to be a long time to fix the damage he's done with his terrible writing of them paired together. And then, hopefully, no one will EVER say Bat/Cat again.

    It should last until the next reboot. So probably about three years maximum.

    This is where I stand as well. Personally, I'd love it to be permanent but I doubt that DC will go that route. I give it until the next reboot wherein the head honchos of the day want everyone "young, hip and single" again because "marriage makes people too old, stodgy and boring". *eyeroll*

    I don't think it will last long. Maybe a few years

    Marriage would be the only unique thing about this, they've been a couple before (Hush era, and maybe Batman Inc?). Personally I enjoy the 'she loves him/he's putting her in prison' version of their relationship, so I hope it ends before the next writer comes on. I would definitely say that, if the marriage ends up happening and no one dies/changes their mind, it will end with the next writer.

    If they do end the marriage I think it'll be for reasons beyond that, personally.

    Count me in the camp that wants it to be a longtime thing. Because, hey, why not try something new for Bruce Wayne the Batman? It worked out pretty well for Earth 2/Golden Age Bruce and Selina, which even introduced the original Huntress. So, why not give it a go for the main Batman? Being in a long, committed relationship with a woman that won't turn around and put a bullet in his best friend's wife's head is, I'd say, quite the uptick for the character. And would provide the audience with something they recognize, but also being different from the old norm.

    As someone who hate BatCat so much right now, I hope this romance will end quickly, please let it end soon.
