Top 5 Worst DC Comics Romances

[married guy]

Barry and Iris are the worst couple. Both in the silver and bronze age and especially now. AND on the TV show. They are just awful together and never have chemistry. Barry should be with Patty. Both in comics and in the show. They make much more sense.

The early issues before they were married in particular! Why Barry put up with Iris berating and belittling him every day I never figured out.
She was worse than Lois Lane!

It always bothered me on the show. Even though he's adopted, he's still technically her brother. I could never get past that.

Unless the feelings began before they took him in.

Anyways;
No Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman kind of shipping.
No Bruce/Babs. Cringe then, worse now.
Shayera/J'onn. Out of nowhere, and not one anyone asked for nor wanted.
Damian/Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I know it never happened in DC proper, but holy crap is it common in fanfics. The only thing they have in common is that they're a similar age.
Jason/Babs. Just doesn't sit right with me. Besides, I've grown fond of Jason and Artemis Grace.
Tim/Babs. Stop. Babs doesn't need to go out with every Bat family member. Put her with Jason Bard and be done with it.

Green Arrow and Black Canary.

Hah, yeah makes sense, I hear that the relationship brings out the worst of both of their traits, or even makes up new bad traits just so they can be assholes.

I do tend to hear Dinah gets screwed the most too, but I haven't confirmed anything.

Donna and Terry is the answer for me. Hated it then, hated it now, I’ll hate it tomorrow.

Hey it's "tomorrow", do you still hate it? .

Wonder Woman/Superman

Wonder Woman/Batman

Batman/Barbara Gordon

Kyle Rayner/Carol Ferris

Does almost all of them except like 3 count as an answer?

[Felipe Silveira]

Wonder Woman/Superman

Wonder Woman/Batman

Batman/Barbara Gordon

Kyle Rayner/Carol Ferris

Cassandra Cain/Conner Kent

I don't disagree, but you're putting yourself in danger.

[TheRay]

I’ll even go on record as saying I don’t care for Batman/Catwoman.

5. Tim Drake/Cassie Sandsmark - it was just a weird, counterintuitive and messy failure of an idea.

4. Superman/Wonder Woman - pure marketing maneuver as a reaction to the planned, Twilight-style love triangle with whats-his-name in the Superman books; not executed badly, but clearly just pure marketing drivel at its core conceptual level.

3. Jason Todd/Babs Gordon - the first of a weird, sort of disgusting trifecta of “why?” usages of Babs as a ubiquitous love interest character for the Bat-dudes; it’s only better than the others because it they’re worse.

2. Tim/Babs - yeah, it’s mostly in the Arkham games, but that’s sort of the point; there seems to have been no reason for it beyond soemone thinking that Robin and Batgirl should be a couple, rather than Dick and Babs, and it screwed up their timeline even more, since it necessitated aging up Tim and shortening the period between Jason’s disappearance and Tim’s recruitment.

1. Bruce/Babs - I’ll be honest, I kind of think this is just perverted old Boomers with crushes on Yvonne Craig at this point; Bruce Timm’s gradually increasing obsession with making this both a thing and then making it nasty is probably the biggest WTF of hsi Batman career.
