In most versions of Bruce's story, Selina Kyle is his most significant love interest. He also has a notable romance with Talia al Ghul; in fact, Bruce, Selina, and Talia form one of the most famous love triangles in comic books.
The Robin Bruce Wayne respects the most is the first Robin, Dick Grayson, who is now known as Nightwing. Richard “Dick” Grayson has even been Batman when Bruce Wayne was thought dead, but he is definitely the one Bruce Wayne respects the most.
The wedding of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle
In a nod to their shared history, the engagement ring features the diamond Catwoman tried to steal when she first met Batman at the start of her costumed career.
Jarro grew attached to Batman and even often calls him “father”. He wanted to prove to Batman that he can be the best Robin and even convinced Batman to give him a chance. Jarro became the new Robin and was even said to be Batman's favorite Robin, admitted by Batman himself.
Over the years, writers eventually realized that Batman works best without a steady love interest — and amazingly, this is Bruce's choice: he refuses to fully trust anyone short of his butler Alfred. He is laser-focused on his one-man crusade against crime and sees romantic relationships as a weakness he cannot afford.
The ultimate Batman villain is a deranged psychopath who acts as more of an agent of chaos than an organised criminal. Also known as the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker is the arch-enemy of the Dark Knight — one capable of such unthinkable evil that can make even Batman shudder.
Robin, Batman's vigilante partner, was introduced in the Spring of 1940, Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler, was introduced in 1943, and Barbara Gordon was introduced in 1967. The "Batman family", or "Bat-Family", is the informal term for Batman's closest allies; generally masked vigilantes operating in Gotham City.
No matter the media, the Joker remains Batman's greatest nemesis. On film, Jack Nicholson's Joker set the bar for villainy in Batman.
In June 2015, Poison Ivy was revealed to be romantically involved with Harley Quinn by Harley Quinn series writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, stating that she is in a romantic relationship with Harley "without the jealousy of monogamy".
Talia is most commonly known as being the daughter of the supervillain Ra's al Ghul as well as the on-and-off lover of the superhero Batman and the mother of their son Damian Wayne (the fifth Robin) who was born during a brief marriage.
It is revealed through Selina's inner monologue that she and Batman are lovers, and the premiere issue ends with the first sex scene between the two. Her revised origin in Catwoman (vol. 4) #0 draws from Batman Returns.
- Selina Kyle
Batman's relationship with Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, is the most enduring and iconic of his relationships.
But he's come close to finding love with one individual: Catwoman. In a stunning turn of events, Batman recently asked Catwoman to marry him, and the two planned an ill-fated wedding for this month in the pages of his comic. Here's a brief history of the couple's 78-year love story.
Talia al Ghul
It's hard to argue that Talia al Ghul is one of Bruce's top love interests given that they have a son together, Damian Wayne. Talia is the daughter of the semi-villainous Ra's al Ghul, and the two fell in love while Batman was under the tutelage of her father.
NUMBER 1: JOKER
Batman's greatest enemy is the Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime is a master of chaos and insanity, regularly devising complex schemes to bedevil Batman and Gotham City. His unpredictable nature and willingness to cause destruction make him an intimidating villain for the Dark Knight.
The revelation came in the pages of Detective Comics #1017, in which orphan Miguel Flores, having been rescued by Batman and Robin, tells the Dark Knight that his favorite superhero is Superman. Batman reveals that Superman is his favorite too.
A Flawed Superhero
There is a unique sense of humanity that surrounds Batman because of his nuanced character, and he has just as many flaws as he does strengths. Bruce Wayne is depicted to be distrustful, cynical, vengeful, and arrogant - but he is also intelligent, resilient, passionate, and determined.
Arguably the Joker's greatest weakness is his ego, however. He turns to crime to get the attention he desperately craves from Batman.
Bruce Wayne
Their friendship goes back to Harvey's first appearance in Detective Comics, in which Batman refers to him as his friend and emotionally asks him to give up his life of crime. Because of this relationship, Two-Face is one of Batman's most personal enemies.
Bane has a great deal of respect for Batman; this isn't a secret, the two have fought many times and even become allies at one point. Bane would even take up the mantle of Batman at a later date, when Bruce is once again not around.
They are all his children, having spent the better part of his life raising each and every one of them. Granted, he has made many mistakes over the years, no parent is ever perfect and someone as grim as Bruce was always going to stumble more than the average father. At the end of the day though, he loves each of them.
While the Caped Crusader has repeatedly denied feeling anything towards the Joker other than unquenchable rage, the villain has on multiple occasions professed his love for Batman. Throughout their 80 year history, the Joker has shown romantic affections for the Dark Knight in some of the darkest (and funniest) ways.
We know that over the years Batman has fathered children with Selina Kyle (Helena Wayne) and Talia al Ghul (Damian Wayne), but he has also had many adopted children like Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, and Cassandra Cain.
