Yeah we have. Last time Jason got laid, him and his date were drugged & abducted by the Joker shortly afterwards. Well, he got drugged & abducted. She was just drugged.

No I'm not talking about when Damian died in Batman Inc. I meant in Robin Son of Batman when mum and dad rode in help Damian and Maya save the world from ancient evil.
They were arguing over what was best for Damian and such other typical divorced parents' fighting over kid' stuff while Damian
was killed as I recall.
On King's Batman Masterpiece. Revisionist garbage pander to the lowest easiest hanging fruit. 'Gullible desperate thirsty shippers' who are more than willing to spend the money in the desperate hopes that their OTP will be made canon in the end.
Of course happiness for Bruce/Batman is Selina. Not his family or friends.
Of course Bruce is only Batman because he's unhappy and self medicating and the second he gets a whiff of happiness he'll turn his back on all the innocents in danger.
" Screw all 8 years old losing parents to crime in alley's"
" Screw the promise I made"
"Screw the mission my kids have lost so much blood and more for. I'm all loved up now and would rather do couple stuff like stay home away from crime and criminals.[unless they are pretty and female]
I dare say that anyone buying into what King's pitching or expecting a happily ever after deserves what's coming to them .

Oh! That's right. I love Isabel, but that girl needs some friends to sit down and say, "Seriously? You met him when he was 15, then he died, came back to life as a magic ninja warrior, you got kidnapped by aliens together, drugged by the Joker, he was a casino owner, and then he dumped his dog on you. You. A flight attendant. Did he leave you money for food, medication, toys, treats, training classes like agility, boarding, the pet deposit and extra hundred a month in rent? Why do you keep pursuing this kid? Have you not read Mars and Venus on a Date? Was the sex amazing before the whole nearly died thing?"
I just need to understand why she keeps attempting to date Jason. More importantly, would the relationship survive if Jason settles down and becomes the investment banker/volunteers with the Rotary and Big Brothers we know he should? How many kids are they going to produce, and will they be badasses like their parents? Or will they end up adopting Damian's oopsies because we all know Damian is cruising right towards teenage parenthood. Any boy who spends as much time unsupervised as Damian, with similar issues is going to be a daddy by 16.
....unless he ends up spending his teen years like Jon.
No, that was when Damian broke Suren by talking. Bruce and Talia had gone their separate ways and were doing their own things when Damian faced down Den.
People like BatCat. By people, I mean the powers that be. It's why every single adaptation pushes it in hopes that the masses will think it's like Lois and Clark.
Tom King honestly believes that BatCat will do as well as Batman and Robin in sales and become as beloved. Who knows? Maybe it will. I doubt it, but I've been wrong before. Generally not when it comes to reading and marketing trends, but it could happen. And it will at least be as loved as Hush, and the Long Halloween which are Batman for people who love plot holes.
Unless DC is prepared to forfeit Catwoman as a villain/anti hero then it's not going to work. Selina is a thief who takes things because she can. She isn't Lois and she never will be. Catwoman and Batman only works if one of them is willing to drastically change a big defining part of their core.
Batman needs to no longer be a crime fighter or Selina needs to stop taking things that don't belong to her. I'm not the biggest Batman fan but even I felt like i was being mocked when she crept out of bed to go steal her wedding dress or when the big Batman was shagging on stolen Diamonds.
Good guy Selina has been done before so it is possible for her to be good and I don't mean 'Harley good'. That sort of is she isn't flirting with badness. That won't work if she is to be married to Batman.
I don't think DC is ready to forfeit Catwoman as a foe for batman and I don't think the Catwoman brand is such that offers much flexibility. If she she isn't getting chased what's the point?
Lois works because she doesn't have to hide or pretend. Lois doesn't compromise Clark/Superman. Lois doesn't have to be change her purpose [what she is at her core] to fit with superman but Selina does.
BatCat is something that only works once Bruce is retired and selina has fallen victim to arthritis [no more cat burgling for you miss]
BatCat will sell Tom is right but it isn't as enduring as B&R a concept. Folks are too drunk on the kool aid to realise that we already saw what a married Batman and Catwoman is like. King gave us that for nearly half his run and it was shallow and boring as hell but very pretty to look at.
