As an otaku and an active member in the anime community, I hear a lot about characters being "shipped", which means matching characters based on personalities, powers, and et cetera. So I figured, if people can do it in anime, why can't I do it amongst comic book characters. And so, I created this list... Let us begin.
10. Superman & Wonder Woman: Hilariously, I thought about this after playing Injustice: Gods Among Us. During this story line, Louis Lane is dead, and Wonder Woman is the rebound girl. Funnily enough, this is canon in DC's New 52. I just find this couple interesting because of the fact that they are so powerful, and the fact that they complete each other in a way that Louis Lane never could complete him.
9. Superboy & Power Girl: Both are super powered beings, and while many people would say that he should get with Wonder Girl (just like his "biological father", Superman), but I feel like he wouldn't be a good match with her. Like Superman, the Earth's yellow sun grants her power, leading many to believe that she is a clone of Kara Zor-El, a.k.a Supergirl.
8. Batman & Talia Al Ghul: In DC's comic continuity, they have already had a child, the newest Robin--Damian Wayne. With Batman's genius level intellect, and martial arts prowess,Talia's charm and deadly skills as an assassin, pulled together my young Damian's combination of his mother's and father's training regiments and fighting styles, you have one force that even Superman and Wonder Woman wouldn't be able to stop.
7. Animal Man & Vixen: Both heroes with animal based super powers, I think that it would personally make, not only an interesting teamwork mechanic, but also an interesting relationship mechanic. Animal Man is connected to the Lifeweb, and Vixen's powers come from an totem. But relationship wise, I wonder how two animal based super heroes would function, since in the Justice League Unlimited television show, it was Green Lantern and Hawkgirl.
6. Shazam & Zatanna: I find that both of their powers are spawned from magic; Zatanna having magic as the Family Heirloom, so to speak, and Shazam being gifted with the powers of the Gods via magic.
5. Aqualad & Supergirl: The pupil of the king of Atlantis and the cousin of the Man of Steel. This seems like a good combination to me, because if they were to have children, they would be half Atlantean and half Kryptonian. In all honestly, they would be as dangerous a couple as Superman and Wonder Woman.
4. Red Robin & Oracle: The third Robin and the original Batgirl. After losing mobility of her legs, Red Robin and Oracle became closer and at one point were engaged. Both are genius detectives, though not as good as the Dark Knight, whom they've trained under.
3. Nightwing & Wonder Girl: A "bat brat" and the demi-God. I would find the team and relationship dynamic the two strange and fascinating. The boy wonder and the daughter of Zeus. Honestly, they need to make this canon.
2. Batwoman & Catwoman: Strangely enough, I just think this would be interesting to see in either the Batwoman or the Catwoman comic continuity, even it were just a one time fling between the two.
1. Batman & Harley Quinn: Hold on...what? Don't you mean The Joker? Nope. I mean Batman. Why? Because she's certifiably insane, and he's a freaking genius. Imagine how badly that would throw off each and every villain. That would be freaking amazing...not to mention...romantically, it would fun, to say the least.
Are there any couples you think should be on this list? Leave a comment below.
