		<description>Wasn&#039;t there some mild flirtation going on between Batman and Zatanna in Superman/Batman and Detective Comics recently or am I totally off-base?  I know that in a recent two-parter, Zatanna helped Bats take on Joker.  During the story we learned that she knew Bruce when they were kids(she was able to reach out to him with a sleight-of-hand trick during his first birthday after his parents&#039; death).  And during the story Bruce stopped blaming Zatanna about that whole &quot;Identity Crisis&quot; debacle(having made an error in judgment himself during the story that almost got Zatanna killed).

Paul Dini wrote them as having an easy chemistry, with her sense of humor playing off his brooding personality.  If they want to pair Batman off with another superhero, she&#039;d be my choice.</description>

		<description>I have to admit that the Batman/Wonder Woman relationship in the Justice League/JLU cartoon is the only one I ever found even remotely plausible.  Hats off to the JLU guys for doing what I previously had not believed possible, and within the constraints of a children&#039;s show, no less!</description>

		<description>I could be wrong, but the Golden Age Julie _was_ a movie-star, I think-- isn&#039;t that how Batman first crossed paths with Clayface?</description>

		<description>I think your list is close...

5. Julie Madison, for being first.
4. Vicki Vale, as much for the Burton film as anything
3. Catwoman, for the Earth-2 background and the chemistry
2. Talia, for, you know, having his kid
1. Silver St. Cloud, who is the most interesting to me based on the Englehart-Rogers stories.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
Bruce Wayne may be rich, but he is not a Prince. She might overlook that if he were the de facto leader of JLA, which he isnâ€™t. He plays the Merlin role for the most part.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I have to disagree.  Batman is the Alpha-male of the Justice League.  He is the smartest, more dangerous and most successful of the bunch, on and off the Hall of Justice.  He&#039;s taken the League on by himself on numerous occasions, and won.  Plus, he is their chief strategist and problem solver. The finest Knight the Justice League has.

Outside the JLA, he may not be a Prince or a King, but &lt;b&gt;his intelligence and riches affords him a instant status symbol recognition&lt;/b&gt; all over the world.

If every woman in the world wants him, you can rest assure that Diana will want him too; Amazon or not.  

And &lt;b&gt;to have him would be the greatest conquest of them all&lt;/b&gt;, which appeals inmensly to the Amazon in Wonder Woman (whether she knows it or not).

And finally, as an Amazon, Wonder Woman doesn&#039;t want someone who will physically dominate her.  &lt;b&gt;She won&#039;t be attracted to the strongest&lt;/b&gt;, just the smartest.

She also knows that Batman is not intimidated by her, will allow her to be herself, but can still protect her like no other man can.

And finally, 

The thing that seals the deal...

&lt;b&gt;Batman is a Family Man&lt;/b&gt;.  He has raised two Robins and is a surrogate father to one Batgirl.  &lt;b&gt;He is the whole package&lt;/b&gt;. The finest male specimen there is.  La creme de la creme.  Amazon or not, Wonder Woman will recognize this... in her skin.  

And if ALL THAT wasn&#039;t enough... he&#039;s the loner of the group, &lt;b&gt;the one that needs to be saved from himself.  Plus, he ignores her.&lt;/b&gt;

The whole thing plays out beautifully in the Justice League Animated series.

I recommend the episode entitled Kid&#039;s Stuff.</description>

		<description>Opposites mostly attract in crappy movies.  

In real life, women tend to pair with equal, or higher, status men.  Wonder Woman is a royal and had zero exposure modern ideas of love prior to adulthood.  Bruce Wayne may be rich, but he is not a Prince.  She might overlook that if he were the de facto leader of JLA, which he isn&#039;t.  He plays the Merlin role for the most part.

Also, they are hardly &#039;both warriors&#039; in the same sense of the term.  Batman uses his wits by and large.  Think of the dock scene in &quot;Batman Begins&quot;.  He uses deception to divide up his opponents and beat them one-by-one.  This is all designed to instill the fear necessary for giving an edge in the NEXT fight.  Wonder Woman comes from the Greek tradition seen in &#039;300&#039;.  We know from the Illiad that the Amazons were among the bravest of the fighters at Troy.  Imagine the contempt Leonidas would show Batman, or vice-versa.

The first impression WW had of Bats was probably &#039;coward&#039; and his of her was &#039;fool&#039;.  Compound this with the difference in their missions and you have deeply incompatible people.  Maybe they&#039;ve come to mutual respect and tolerance as collegues, but that is hardly the basis for a romance.</description>

		<description>Opposites attract, and calling them polar opposites is going a bit far.  In the end, they are warriors protecting the innocent.  Just because WW opened an embassy once upon a time doesn&#039;t make her diplomat, and Batman works mostly to instill fear in criminals, not the entire populace of Gotham.</description>

		<description>Sorry Rene, but if the most likely pairing is WW, then he is impossible to create a plausible heterosexual love interests for Batman.  Diana is on a mission to undermine the patriarchy by setting an example of peace and tolerance.  Bruce is on a mission to create order through fear.  They are polar opposities.</description>
