"Bruce can't be Batman if he's happy! He has to be forever alone, for Gotham's sake"
Ummm....Bruce has never been alone. And between the Robins, Batgirls, Batwoman, Commissioner Gordon, and Alfred, he never will be. No matter how hard he tries to angst himself away from them. Marrying Selina would not change anything. She would just be a new addition to something he already has. That's why it's called the Batfamily. Bruce has people who love him and that he loves in return. People who know how to make him happy. People who have made him happy. For fuck's sake, after decades of being that weirdo who keeps adopting kids that look eerily like him, he has a biological son now. Did having Damian slow down his crusade against crime? No! The kid joined him!
And Selina knows all of this. So how the hell did Holly talk her out of the marriage so easily!? My only guess is that she never really wanted to marry him in the first place and just needed a convenient excuse not to go through with it. Because the reason King came up with is more nonsensical than Talia trying to kill Damian and then getting upset when he dies.
Yeesh. Things got so Bat-Catty in here, that I almost forgot it's the Damian thread lol
