Constantine feels like a barnacle they've stuck on her*. I would much rather read about her talking to her pet bunny over Constantine. I get there is an audience, especially in fantasy fiction, who loves the 'good girl and bad boy' trope but it's just not for me. Her interactions and relationships with Zachary, Diana, Bruce, Barry, Dinah and Detective Chimp are much more interesting to me.
*No offense to those who like the pairing. They are free to talk about and celebrate it in this thread.
