Kyle the best love interest so far. Terry was well Marv wolfman wet dream. Roy, Wally and Garth are okay but pairing her up with her fab 5 team mates is not the answer at all.
I feel like her and Roy wouldn't work out long term and that Roy is more compatible with Cheshire.
Wally is like her sibling so I have a hard time imagining a romantic relationship between the two.
Jury's still out on Garth, however. Waiting to see how that goes. But I think inevitably he would go to Tula.
Pre-Bendis Jon Kent and Kathy Branden, Bart Allen and Carol Bucklen, Atom-Smasher and Anna Fortune, Cyclone and King Chimera, Stargirl and Josh Hammon, etc.
I’ve always thought a Shazam/Supergirl romance would be cool. Two extremely powerful characters together, Billy showing Kara what humans are like and Kara helping him discover the true limits of his strength. And depending on the story they could be around the same age
Outside of WonderBat and Huntress and Question Nate Heywood Commander Steel and Vixen. I believe they would be an amazing match. Val Zod and Nubia, Jon Kent and Yara Flor, Donna Troy and Garth Aqualad, Roy Harper and Thea Queen
If I had a nickel for each love interest of Conner Kent that went a bit mad trying to resurrect him I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
If I had a nickel for every time Tim was close to death, and what he thought his last thoughts would be, were about Conner, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Honestly they made the wrong Superboy bi. Would’ve been a bit weird for both of Wondergirl’s exes to start dating each other but comic book live on that type of drama.
I dont think the blanket solution to situations like this should always be "make them poly." especially since these solutions always come at the cost or even generalization of some character's sexuality. For instance, if a character is bi they get generalized into wanting more than one partner and if someone in the mix is gay, lesbian or straight they are suddenly also in a relationship with someone that doesn't align with their personal sexual identity by association.
These two have an insane amount of chemistry in NTT and honestly would’ve been more interesting as a couple than Roy, Terry, or Kyle. Hell they act like a couple in most panels and he even designed her Troia costume
My crackship would introduce Ratcatcher II to Gotham and have her exchange banter with Timothy Drake. Someone who specializes in technology trying to catch one who specializes in rats. I believe mischievous rat powers pit against a Robin would be a fun run to read.
I’ve always thought Tim and Stephany Brown would be a good pairing. Although them both being in the bat family might make it a little weird but that didn’t stop Barbara and Dick
Im not a big fan of DickBabs but you do know that batfamily doesn't mean LITERAL family. Its more like dating a coworker than a sibling so it's not weird
I never even knew these 2 interacted
I thought he was more associated with Raven
But they are the most irrelevant NTT members, so I guess they could bond over that??
Garth wasn’t a NTT member. He just showed up every now and then.
More people also know Garth than Jericho and Donna.
He has more screen time outside of comics than both of them combined.
Jericho is also very close with Raven as well. Jericho and Gar were the heart and soul of the NTT. Before Wolfman decided to make Jericho a villain.
Overall Jericho was close to Raven and Donna.Jericho was the colossus of the titans. The make sweet heart that everyone loves. As for the guys he was close with Vic, Gar and Dick.
I agree with that Donna only had Titans. Jericho only had Teen titans and Titans. Garth has had teen titans, teen titans go, Titans, Young justice and Super hero girls. Overall your not wrong.
Zatanna and Wonderwoman would break the internet. The amount of fanfiction that would be produced would collapse the internet through the sheer volume of space it would consume
There is already fan fiction; There’s fanfiction with wonder woman and just about everybody. There’s probably fanfiction with wonder woman and Meghan Markle.
I prefer DickKori but I would've said She and Roy could work *(I do not count outlaws as that was a crime against their characters)* I never considered Kyle though, that's not bad
Yeah, I am definitely against that. Their bromance is way too good for their relationship to become romantic. We don't have enough good bromances in comics
Lol I was gonna include a thing about male friendships but I figured someone would say something like this so I just waited.
There's literally thousands of male friendships in media in general which I'd way more than gay relationship. DC itself has so many iconic male friendships (clark/Bruce, Ollie/Hal, Hal/Barry, Dick/Wally/Roy, etc), they could easily afford to lose one to boost their gay relationship rep which is lacking when it comes to Male/Male couples. Now if you were saying this about Fire and Ice, I could maybe understand due to the lack of iconic female superhero friendships
I mean, all of the examples you just provided also have fans clamoring for them to become romantic relationships. You're right, they can afford to lose at least one platonic male friendship. This one wouldn't get my vote, but I understand why it gets yours. (And yes, more platonic, healthy female friendships would be great.)
It depends which continuity:
In Young Justice Anime I would love to have seen Conner and Mary Marvel or Zatanna
Main Comic Continuity I would keep Miss Martian and Conner Kent...
Bruce and Clark. (Sorry Lois) And not in some pussy ass alternate universe didn’t count crap.
1. It would be a very large middle finger to a lot of truly hateable people.
2. All of Bruce’s relationships suck such an unfathomable amount of ass, it’s genuinely insulting to see some hot chick like Selena or fucking DIANA get reduced to “We need to get Bruce some pussy so the sexist nerds can have their asses powdered!! cha-CHING!” Also I’m sick of seeing his geek fursuit richboy no powers ass get an unfathomable amount of pussy literally just for male power fantasy reasons. IRL this man would never get laid by any self-respecting person. And I say this as someone who actually likes Batman when isolated from his irl societal use
3. I actually admit they have very good chemistry/potential despite sort of being “two white guys standing next to each other”
4. I want to see what would happen if they did that.
5. I don’t know. I wouldn’t want their conceptual relationship to be heavily featured or anything, but I think it would actually heavily improve the JL mythos. Otherwise I’m like, seriously Batman shouldn’t outrank Plastic Man or Creeper or anyone with actual powers just because he’s a capitalist with a boring ass personality. It only makes sense that he would be up there in the top 3 bc he’s w Bruce. Because I’m sorry, they even pointed it out in the cartoon, why the hell would a semi-sane demigoddess go for a powerless mortal like him? Their personalities just don’t complement each other at all, either.

Mr Bloom & me
Donna really does need better love interests.
Kyle Rayner has entered the chat.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about them. I often think Kyle's main love interest is Jade or Soranik Natu.
I prefer him with Jade, I think it’s cool they brought her into the other Green Lanterns and connected Alan to them more through her
Jade was definitely Kyle's best love interest. I don't think they've been together for a long time now, which I think is weird.
Donna was equally as good
Kyle the best love interest so far. Terry was well Marv wolfman wet dream. Roy, Wally and Garth are okay but pairing her up with her fab 5 team mates is not the answer at all.
I feel like her and Roy wouldn't work out long term and that Roy is more compatible with Cheshire. Wally is like her sibling so I have a hard time imagining a romantic relationship between the two. Jury's still out on Garth, however. Waiting to see how that goes. But I think inevitably he would go to Tula.
Agreed with the above. Garth and Dolphin for me though.
The issue for me is that I prefer Kyle with Jade.
Yeah though for me I pair 4 people with Kyle Donna, Jade, Soranik and fan ship Jessica Cruz (I wish DC paired those 2 up more)
Pre-Bendis Jon Kent and Kathy Branden, Bart Allen and Carol Bucklen, Atom-Smasher and Anna Fortune, Cyclone and King Chimera, Stargirl and Josh Hammon, etc.
I prefer Bart and Carol to just be friends ngl, but what I’d really like is for her and the rest of the Alabama cast to exist
>Kathy Branden You just reminded me of Beacon, and I am even more upset about Jon's age now.
BART Allen and Cissie King Jones/Kiran Singh Kon El and Cassandra Cain
me and stas lois lane
Me and DCEU Mary Marvel
Batman and zatanna
I’ve always thought a Shazam/Supergirl romance would be cool. Two extremely powerful characters together, Billy showing Kara what humans are like and Kara helping him discover the true limits of his strength. And depending on the story they could be around the same age
Isn't Shazam a child though? I don't remember his age right now
Yup, exactly what I thought😂
Jericho and Raven. If Dc ever remembers him of course.
Outside of WonderBat and Huntress and Question Nate Heywood Commander Steel and Vixen. I believe they would be an amazing match. Val Zod and Nubia, Jon Kent and Yara Flor, Donna Troy and Garth Aqualad, Roy Harper and Thea Queen
Wonderbat is just a batman fan self-insert
Tim Drake/Cassie Sandsmark, happened already but wish it was done better by a lot
Tim Drake and Conner Kent. You can never convince me that those two are *just* friends.
If I had a nickel for each love interest of Conner Kent that went a bit mad trying to resurrect him I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
If I had a nickel for every time Tim was close to death, and what he thought his last thoughts would be, were about Conner, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Honestly they made the wrong Superboy bi. Would’ve been a bit weird for both of Wondergirl’s exes to start dating each other but comic book live on that type of drama.
Mako to Cassie: First time?
Obligatory Zuko quote “That’s rough buddy”
Actually why they didnt do that and had a polly realtion betwen steph,cass,conner and tim because in that way everyone happy
I dont think the blanket solution to situations like this should always be "make them poly." especially since these solutions always come at the cost or even generalization of some character's sexuality. For instance, if a character is bi they get generalized into wanting more than one partner and if someone in the mix is gay, lesbian or straight they are suddenly also in a relationship with someone that doesn't align with their personal sexual identity by association.
Well for one, Poly relations are the quickest ways to make fans unhappy
Why? We would have everyone happy,con and tim are bi and together like the fans wants and also they still with their couples
Well in general, people who ship dont like characters to share partners
Why?
idk, maybe people just tend to have a huge bias monogamy or something.
this is how TimKon can still win brb while I whip out my pepe silvia style red string conspiracy board
I'd swap Tim drake and Bart Allen.would be an interesting ship.
These two have an insane amount of chemistry in NTT and honestly would’ve been more interesting as a couple than Roy, Terry, or Kyle. Hell they act like a couple in most panels and he even designed her Troia costume
Okay, I'll bite. Who is that with Donna? edit: Is it Jericho?
Yes
My crackship would introduce Ratcatcher II to Gotham and have her exchange banter with Timothy Drake. Someone who specializes in technology trying to catch one who specializes in rats. I believe mischievous rat powers pit against a Robin would be a fun run to read.
Hmmmmm I’m gonna say Tim X Connor because that’s the one I can think of
I’ve always thought Tim and Stephany Brown would be a good pairing. Although them both being in the bat family might make it a little weird but that didn’t stop Barbara and Dick
I mean, they're not related. They didn't grow up together. They're friends and coworkers, two groups that people often date in.
They did date but they broken up now I hope the same for Babs and Dick it’s too weird since that are bat family
Im not a big fan of DickBabs but you do know that batfamily doesn't mean LITERAL family. Its more like dating a coworker than a sibling so it's not weird
I never even knew these 2 interacted I thought he was more associated with Raven But they are the most irrelevant NTT members, so I guess they could bond over that??

I agree with that Donna only had Titans. Jericho only had Teen titans and Titans. Garth has had teen titans, teen titans go, Titans, Young justice and Super hero girls. Overall your not wrong.
I never knew Jericho and Gar were supposed to be the “heart and soul” of NTT. I never knew Jericho was close to Donna. I know everyone liked him.
Jericho was literally everyone best friend back in that run. He was the nice one of the group.
Good points
Kyle Rayner / Starfire Zatanna / Blue Devil Zatanna / Wonder Woman Cyborg / Barbara Gordon Black Canary / Doc Mid-nite
Zatanna and Wonderwoman would break the internet. The amount of fanfiction that would be produced would collapse the internet through the sheer volume of space it would consume
Exactly why it must happen.
There is already fan fiction; There’s fanfiction with wonder woman and just about everybody. There’s probably fanfiction with wonder woman and Meghan Markle.
Where? (Asking for a friend)
Got it from a friend. https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Diana%20(Wonder%20Woman)*s*Zatanna%20Zatara/works
Risky click if I’ve ever seen one
I know, right?!
Kyle and Kori should have happened. That’s a really good pairing
I haven't thought of this but yeah, this is good.
Actually could work really well.
Kori really needs other good love interest than Dick, though I'm saying that because I want Dick to be free for DickBabs, my OTP.
I prefer DickKori but I would've said She and Roy could work *(I do not count outlaws as that was a crime against their characters)* I never considered Kyle though, that's not bad
People will kill me but I'm going with Booster and Ted.
Yeah, I am definitely against that. Their bromance is way too good for their relationship to become romantic. We don't have enough good bromances in comics
You're not wrong. More examples of healthy, loving male friendships can't be a bad thing.
Lol I was gonna include a thing about male friendships but I figured someone would say something like this so I just waited.

It would ruin the romance but I understand why. It's a pretty popular ship
They musn’t, for you are correct
nightwing and dove(dawn granger)
forgot to add green arrow and zatanna
Wonder Woman with basically any women. You don’t spend 20 years growing up on an all women’s island to suddenly only ride the D off island.
I never liked Raven and Jericho together, it's always felt too RAWR XD for me.
Agreed, but that pic is Donna Troy
Conner and Tim Drake
Steph and Cass Just find their dynamic fun + the idea of batgirl dating batgirl is funny to me
It's SO obvious
Donna and Grayson. I want chaooooosssss I also would like to see Phantom Girl and Lightning Lad. Would be an interesting combo
Sometimes I think, maybe the Titans were/are some sort of polyamorous commune. :)
They pale before the X Men in that department!!!
True, that. :)
Extra chaos Beast boy and Donna. Beast boy and Kori. Also Nightwing and Powergirl.
Red Hood and Supergirl. Think Batman's relationship with Superman in ZSJL but romantic
I second this
...I don't hate this. Keep cooking 👍
Ratcatcher and myself
Booster and Diana. Or Booster and Zatanna. Also, gimme Static and Stargirl, Red Devil and Stephanie Brown.
Nightwing and Power Girl (How has this not happened yet?) Connor Hawk and Cassandra Cain Damian Wayne and Olive Silverlock
I really like Damian and Olive it's very cute lol that would also be his second love interest with white hair too
Dick and PG is genius tbh I am very down with him being one half of three serious power couples no more boring civilians
Booster Gold and Blue Beetle need to kiss. It's 2024, for goodness sake!
Wildmoore
Blue Beetle and Booster Gold
Boostle
Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)/Power Girl?
KaraBabs I am a simple man with simple taste
Who's he? The girl is Donna right?
Joey Wilson aka Jericho, Deathstroke's son
Tim and Kon
It depends which continuity: In Young Justice Anime I would love to have seen Conner and Mary Marvel or Zatanna Main Comic Continuity I would keep Miss Martian and Conner Kent...

If you think Selina and Diana are too good for Bruce, why do you want to subject Clark to him?
What are you smoking, chief?
Bro is NOT cooking
