Your 'dream DC couple' that never happened

[witchboy]

Tim Drake and Conner Kent. DC even did an article on the fans for them as a couple some months back.
Damien Wayne and Jon Kent - when they're both of the right age. I thought someday they could be a couple when they were older, but then they aged Jon up and sent him to the future. Let Damien catch up in age when the time is right. At this point they are both are pretty blank slates so there's not a lot of romantic history in their way. Saturn Girl is trying to mess with this, I know.
DC really needs an A list gay man, on the same level as Batwoman. As it is, their gay men are supporting characters and except for Aqualad I believe they're all in limbo somewhere.

Not outside of YJ, in the comics Zatana is a childhood friend of Bruce so I doubt that it will ever be a thing. (YJ made imo pretty strange changes to the ages of some characters)

You are aware that in pre flashpoint continuity Jason was supposed to be roughly the same age as Cassandra Cain? If Talia is arround the same age as Bruce, she is about 20 years older than him.

To be fair it wouldn't be the first time he's paired up with an older woman. I feel like Artemis is older than him.

Babs Gordon and Ted Kord. They were absolutely perfect for each other pre-52.

This.

Super obscure, but the 'ship between Ice and Ray Palmer in the unaired Justice League pilot was pretty cute.

I don't know its the fanart/fanfics rotting my brain or what but I'm not mad at the Tim and Conner pairing. It feels right in a way, it would certainly add a new dynamic that both characters desperately need.

But Talias is also Bruce Ex, and in the first issues of Lost Days Jason is still a teenager...

With Artemis is is any to me not clear is she ages normally, and Jason oldest Girls friend was probably anyway Essence.

Levitz era Lightning Lad and Dream Girl (Imra was too much of a nag and Nura was the mega flirt)

Oh man, would I have loved that.

When did that get put into canon? Pre-COIE, she's significantly younger than Superman and Batman. She seems early 20s when introduced and they were late 20s early 30s. So, not exactly peers during childhood.


Not sure. Talia is a studying medicine at the university of Cairo when introduced when Dick was 18/19. I've heard that she was intended to be 19 by her creator, but have not ever looked into that. So roughly Dick's age, so 7-8 years older than Jason. Though I admit, I've always though of her as 24-26 at that time. And, of course, she may have been given a different age later. Mind you, I do not in any sense ship them. I think any romantic/sexual aspect between them should be depicted as and overall negative and have their issues with Bruce all tied in.

I'd rather there be NO romantic/sexual aspect between Jason and Talia. Rather, it ought to be a complicated thing; she did dunk him in the Lazarus Pit (without her father's permission) after he mysteriously rose from the dead, looked after him, trained him, and introduced him to the All-Caste, but her manipulations strain their relationship.

Essence is hard to pin down. Her mother is clearly ancient, but she doesn't seem to age all that much.

And Artemis, well, Rebirth has been vague with her age. We know she grew up with the Bana Amazons, and "she forgot more about tactics than Jason will ever know" (Jason's words), so perhaps a bit older than Jason? Hard to say.

Wonder Woman and Rama. To this day the only love interest of hers whom I found somewhat interesting.

I think at this time they were leaning Vixen to a Relationship w Geo Force if i'm not mistaken.

That seems like an odd combo. Not necessarily bad, just odd. Mainly because its two characters I would never really associate with one another.

Way, way back in the day, I really liked the idea on non-powered Diana Prince and Batman/Bruce Wayne. In current day , I could still go with a Bruce and Diana pairing.

Nightwing and Donna Troy. Lord knows she had relationships with the other guys in Titans!

Hawkgirl/Kendra and Roy Harper was hinted at. Could gave been good.

Vixen and Animal Man?

Guess it kinda happened in that it was somewhat explored, but I was kinda sorry that Jessica Cruz's crush on the Flash never went anywhere. They had a cute back and forth.

[Overhazard]

The Martian Manhunter hasn't really had a love interest since Ostrander's run when he was um...with that Princess from Saturn. Or that other Psychic woman from earlier in the run. Who I'd pair him with Im not sure, but it would be nice I suppose.
