#Batman #Catwoman #Comics - Zábava
*F.A.Q.*
*What about Wonder Woman?:* They explicitly are not anything more than friends.
*What about Lois Lane?:* It was lightly hinted at once. That's not enough to warrant a mention.
Zattana?
@@noampresnete8677, No.
Avant ew just no even if it did happen in the animated comic continuity it needs to just be forgotten and die off.
The Reaper's daughter?
Rachel Caspian?
Are you telling me people legitmantley thought Batman was porking his adopted son so they had to add a character who's sole existence it to prove Batman is straight that's hilarious
That's great.
And then making that same charicter a lesbian later
@@milesbecker4358 Huh.
zack the awesome ninja was that the same Batwoman?
@@BESTdonglewenis7254 no, but she was clearly inspired by her. (one is called kathy and the other kate)
Isn’t it ironic that they invented Kathy kane to stop the rumors of Batman and robin being gay only to make Kate Kane a lesbian
I never thought about that 🤯
It is not ironic. It was intentional
@@benmccarthy1799 Intentionally Ironic
Batman: wtf is wrong with these fanfics just leave me be !
Two separate characters, it's like Wally West and Wallace West, two separate characters but they both shared the same name and Persona.
Superman has Kryptonite.
Green Lantern has fear.
And Batman has Booty.
There's an innuendo filled song that has a similar message as this in Batman the Brave and the Bold episode The Mask of Matches Malone by the Birds of Prey (Catwoman, Black Canary II and Huntress) where they make fun of the Justice League except for Batman who they act like they have the hots for because Bruce got amnesia while in deep cover as his gangster persona, Matches Malone and Dinah (Black Canary II) even gets offended when Selena (Catwoman) makes fun of Green Arrow (who in the comics is Dinah's husband and in that show is her love interest). It's a bit creepy because they mention Blue Beetle who is a teenager though.
@@mattwo7 poor Jaime
@@fracturedmind38 no he dies In The show
@@fracturedmind38 Ted dies in the show and Jaime replaced him
aah yes a normal weakness
And this is why nobody knows of any of Batman's girlfriends; they all either leave or die at the end of the story arc. Hurray for meaningful characters
Except for Catwoman. But DC doesn’t allow them to be together because “Bruce can’t be happy.” (Which I think is dumb, and stupid, and makes no sense and my brain hurts trying to figure out how it works. [Reference to Jocat. Don’t ask.])
@@master0fthearts894, yeah DC is full of shit whenever it comes to Catwoman and Batman becoming a stabled romantic couple because both Tim Drake and Terry McGinnis could take over as Batman until Helena Wayne becomes the Huntress.
One moment, Catwoman is a burglar and thief. The next she’s a hero fighting with Batman.
I know Catwoman is famous for being a villain and crook but why not just make her an official Bat-member?!
They clearly work well together, just give her a new job and meaning.
I’m not the biggest Bat-fan but when I heard he was getting married to Catwoman I felt really happy for him, but then DC went “hey, Batman can’t be happy! He needs to be miserable even though he has three adopted sons and an actual son and father figure! Oh and good friends, a good life as Bruce Wayne and is mostly loved by everyone!”
Honestly, you wouldn’t even need a bat-replacement. You could have Bruce be happy and be Batman. There is already enough motivation to be Batman anyway and if DC still wants the sad Bruce then that could still work, because sure he would be happy he wouldn’t be the happiest, since there’s the Joker, and Two-Face, and etc.
Could be worse, could be Green Lantern's girlfiend.
So basically Batman had an on/off relation ship with the same 10 girls for over 70 years
It’s 80 years, but yeah just a endless loop, don’t worry in the next reboot of the universe it will happen again.
In a nutshell yeah pretty much
why not? due to DC's multiple reboot,each time bruce dates them is their first time together.
You should do all of Nightwing's girlfriends. That would be even longer.
Wouldn’t be that hard. Just list all of the redheads in DC
That’s gonna be 50 minutes
@@gwengrasso1887 I can only think of Starfire and Barbara Gordon
@@redhood7650 Bette kane exists! She was Batgirl
Yes nightwing and redhood as well
“Wanna know my secret identity?” -Batman
"Is it Bruce Wayne?" -Anyone with a brain
“Should have worn the glasses Bruce”- Clark Kent
@@abielm8467 "IM 99% SURE YOU ARE SUPERMAN" - Lois Lane while pointing a gun at Clark
Because
@@Rev2. Gun loaded with kryptonite bullet
batman banged his way across the multiverse
Haha
Bloody Nightwing too
Spiderman shot "spider webs"
I'm here for every woman that found out about Batman's identity, went "okay no, this is crazy" and just ghosted the entire city of Gotham.
Drake sits on Mobius Chair: "How many different girlfriends has Batman had?"
Mobius Chair: "There. Are. Infinite.
I thought that Bruce was a playboy, but in reality, he's just dating the same 4 or 5 women over and over again
He has had hundreds of one night stands.
A list on Batman's relationship with no mention of Barbara, I approve.
But still Kathy Kane who in New Earth continuity was Bruce's aunt
And zatanna
Or Lois Lane
Kathy Kane is his niece not to be confused with Kate Kane
@@pwlpc Kathy Kane is his aunt in law from Morrison's run, the undercover agent
And WW
Amanda Waller: It wasn’t that hard to get his DNA. It was all OVER town.
Terry: 😮
Damian: Should’ve covered your drink, father.
Also Damian: Use more protection, father
Damn Waller dropped a serious BURN 🔥
LOL, but she meant he bled all over the place.
@@Yibambe. I know. I was making 2 references.
@@Yibambe. you mean he bled a lot of women *wink
My biggest takeaway: HOLY CRAP CATMAN IS REAL
What are you talking about?
@@Jb-ik3pq Catman.
Go read Secret Six by Gail Simone.
@@DialRforRad that is not what I was confused about
@@Jb-ik3pq I think hes thinking of the adam west parody character from fairly odd parents
i honestly think that the whole relationship aspect of Batman works best with Catwoman, something about it just gives of a different vibe, maybe its just their similar yet contrasting characters
Earth-Two had a happy ending, until both Selina and Bruce were murdered.
Aww that’s adorable, I bet you Bruce got that from his parents 🥰😆
There’s nothing like hearing Drake talk about ball deodorant 😂
Even three weeks into fall, the Texas heat humidity is insane at times, and that's in North Texas, where Drake is from, which is marginally more temperate than the other major cities
WAIT, CATMAN WAS A THING?! I thought Fairly Odd Parent's Catman was just parodying Batman/TV Adam Batman.
nope, hes an actual character, he appeared pretty frequently in the Brave and the Bold cartoon, its pretty funny
He is actually one of the best fighters in dc comics and has trained many of the better fighters. I would recommend watching variant comics video on the best dc fighters to learn more about him
@@tydarden5298 Never saw Lego Batman, but if I watch it someday, I'll keep an eye out for that cool tidbit.
With a name like Jezebel are you surprised that she was a super villain 😂
True
Right?🤣🤣
@I'm Batman
_Not really_
i mean, bruce didn't want to fall on stereotype. unfortunately,the stigma was true.
All of these women and they still decided to make one up for the The Dark Knight
What can I say? Batman somehow never dated an attorney in his run up to 2005.
Man I never knew Silver Saint Cloud got so many attempts at batman and had some of the best relationships with Bruce. Absolutely wild
So dating Batman highly increases a woman’s chances of being refrigerated?
Dating any hero does that, just ask Kyle Rayner
@@themysteriousretrogamer9655the originator
Christian Bale, watching this: WHERE’S RACHEL?
only relationship that came from comics got acknowledged. sorry rachel.
Rachel Dawes is basically Dawn Golden with a bigger character arc
Didn't Underbroker trick Catwoman into giving him and joker the account? I'm pretty sure she gave Underbroker the account to protect it from Joker/the Designer but it turned out he was working for Joker and Punchline the whole time.
You’re right
I like to think that the ex girlfriends of Bruce Wayne that didn’t figure he was Batman probably thought he was gay
Good thing Talia and Selina know otherwise
You should do all of *Constantine's* girlfriends/boyfriends.
So half of the DC multiverse
King shark is a shark
You’re just asking the impossible
It's easier to count who Johnny didn't date.
Finally, someone who acknowledges that Bruce and Zatanna never dated. Props to you man.
"Cuz I live in Texas, and it gets hot down here."
That's the polite way of saying it.😂😂😂
I still cant believe that amongst all of this the batman wonder woman romance still doesnt get mentioned.
The true otp out of all of continuity ever
Indeed🦇,WONDERBAT FOREVER❤️💫👸🏻X👿🦇🖤
Jeez and I thought Bruce went through robins fast, one woman leaves him and weeks later and he’s no longer single
Wow. I knew this list would be long but I didn't expect it to be stack of dot-matrix printer paper unfolding long. Great job, man. I can see why this took so long to research and put together.
Huh? I thought Bruce and Selina were back together again after the thing with Bane, and Joker War literally just ended with the aftermath of his company being stolen (due to Selina's old plan and her trying to prevent it, not directly her fault) being up in the air.
I mean, last we saw they were living together, professed their eternal love to each other and said they don't need a judge to marry them to know they are together as "Cat & Bat".
There still together and about to have their own series in dec 1 yeah she was trying to help Bruce dude got it wrong
@@killmonger5097 yep
Wasn't Julia pennyworth a love interest in earth one continuity? Or did they not officially date?
Correct.
@@ComicDrake yh u betcha I'm correct Mr. Drake can I get mf like on my comment now 👍(sarcastic comment is sarcastic) love ur stuff btw
To he fair to Bruce with Jezebel, he reveals that he knew she was playing him the whole time in RIP.
This video was amazing! Perhaps your best one yet. A nightwing girlfriends video is going to be more manageable, so I hope you would eventually make it
Can't wait man literally cannot wait
Can you do a history of two face, like the riddler one. Great video as always!
Such an awesome video. Thanks for making this. I've always been fascinated by Bruce's many love interests over the years but I have never seen a video devoted to them before. Made my day. 🙂
It makes sense. After the death of his parents he overcompensates by having as many “relationships” as possible, all while remaining completely unable to commit due to his trauma and the fear of potential loss. He’ll probably never be able to have a true relationship ever again, especially considering that the people he associates with are in a constant state of danger.
5:49 "right off the bat" - I see what you did there!
9:36 That guy looks like the Harley Quinn cartoon version of Jim Gordon lol
Awesome video. More Batman content please!
Great video! Good job on the research. I know it's been tough but you did it!
I think My Favorite Batman Love Interest is Dr. Chase Meridian from Batman Forever, who like many others, was into Bruce Wayne and Batman. She has great chemistry with both and her being a psychologist adds a really interesting dynamic to their relationship. It also helps that Nicole Kidman Circa 1995 is an 11/10 in my book.
If only Joel Schumacher had known how straight women act
Vicki Vale is my favorite Batman love interest. Wish animated series, tv shows, and movies would feature her more.
clark would've roasted bruce for having the same type of woman (female reporter) as him.
@@sipalingindonesia I really don't care.
Isn't Barry married ro a reporter? Has Clark ever roasted Barry about it?
@@psgamer-0199 iris already knew barry before he got struck by lightning. bruce met vicki after he became batman.
@@sipalingindonesia And?
@@psgamer-0199 that implied barry loves iris,not because of her being a reporter. while clark would assume that bruce got close with vicki partly because she's a daring reporter,like lois.
What about Shondra Kinsolving? Bruce's doctor/physical therapist who helped him recover after Bane broke his back? And Sasha Bordeaux, who was briefly Bruce Wayne's bodyguard and went on to join Checkmate? Not sure if they actually dated, but I think they at least had some kind of "entanglement."
12:29 "The Joker, however" When I heard that I thought "Wait, the Joker and Batman dated?".
I legit looked at the title then at the time, that was one of the funniest stuff I've ever seen.
I love what they did with Vicki in the telltale series. I honestly didn’t see the plot twist coming.
I love how 15:38 is the most replayed part of this whole video
I just want a happy ending for Bruce! I was happy you mentioned ONE but so many really good ladies you mentioned that ended because "Batman"...can never be happy and they either die suddenly or just leave.
So far Silver is my favourite based on this video though!
Was Fairly Odd Parent's Catman actually suppose to be a parody of Catman? I always thought he was just suppose to be a parody of the 60s Batman and the similar name was just the writers not knowing Catman was already a thing.
that is actually the more likely situation
This is why it’s so intimidating to get into comic books
Omg I love your cup/mug!!!
I think it’s kind of cool that some stores ended with flashpoint it shows that it really came out of no where and that everyone had there own lives
Spit out my drink when that first Catwoman panel showed up. XD
5:15 Fridge count: 1
9:03 Fridge count: 2
13:28 Fridge count: 3
15:49 Fridge count: 4
17:36 Fridge count: 5
Nice video and good work. I like your cup.
Damn thats a lot of dedication
Drake prolly had to read every single Batman comic to make this. Thank you sir!
17:00 I wonder if there will ever be a story that brings together all of the Wonderland villains, Mad Hatter, Alice (Elizabeth Kane), (door)Mouse from the Batwoman show, White Rabbit and Red Queen? (Also where the heck was Tetch when the Batwoman show version of Alice had her "mad tea party"?)
And also Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Deever and Dumfree Tweed) (Batman)
Wth about tweedledum and tweedledee, walrus, March harriet, li9n and unicorn, carpenter and all the other members of mad hatter's wonderland gang
I was just thinking about you today! That's fun
Hey Comic Drake! I’ve watched your videos for a long time and I really love what you do, in fact if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have read my favorite comic book of all time, Invincible. I was curious if you could do a video of like a suggestion video on what to read on comixology (which I’m pretty sure I also got after you talked about it on one of your videos but it could’ve been someone else). I just got the app back after I stopped reading comics for a little bit and it feels like there’s so many options on what to read. Once again, love what you do! (Also max landis made a pitch for a sequel to American alien, idk if you’ve seen it but it’s really good.)
My favourites are
8.Kathy Kane (the fact she is a spy but not a bad person that played him is jdut awesome to me.
7.Vicky Vale (vey interesting how close she gets to uncovering his identity resulting in a very tense relationships.)
6.Silver Saint Cloud (Really highlights why relationships don’t work for Bruce which is because his mission always comes first.)
5.Andria Buoyant (Mask of the phantasm is amazing and is the one Bruce would’ve even given up batman for.)
4.Jezzibel Jet (It’s just an amazing betrayal story.)
3.Julie Maddison (the Scott Snyder stories rlly made this character great.)
2.Talia Al Ghoul (rlly interesting conflict as it becomes more and more one sided.)
1.Catwoman (they just work they r the most interesting pair as they work on opposite sides, can’t change but still except each other.)
Did Bruce date like a vampire lady in the late silver age/early modern age? I think her name was Nocturna or something. Can someone fact check me on that?
I don’t think they dated but I think she was a love interest for him I think? But I’m pretty sure she’s a love interest for batwoman now lol
Idk why but I like Batman and Wonder Woman’s dynamic. It’s very interesting. I read Pre Chance issue 90 and it was very cool how she said she’s motivated to work harder when she sees how competent Bruce is. It’s an interesting dynamic lol
Awesome video thanks
If I remember correctly silver found out bruce was batman because she pretty much shouted bruce at batman and in his infinite wisdom he acknowledged her with a look which confirmed her suspension
Bravo DC... thanks for making someones love life expertly convoluted, lol
great video
One omission I noticed was Shondra Kinsolving who started out as his physical therapist after Bane broke his back and then started a romantic relationship with him.
Then she developed some weird psychic healing powers which helped his back but reverted her mind to a childlike state and she was out of the books, because comics.
Good video and you can tell you put the research in.
Maybe Shondra can be in a video about the whole Knightfall-Knightsend story. Just a thought.
The attraction with Shondra didn't really go anywhere as she was reverted to a child like state pretty quickly after her attraction to Bruce started.
@@ComicDrake fair enough, I just remembered em making out, but admittedly it's been a bit since I've read those books Haha
Kinda hope that Silver St Cloud comes back and makes Bruce happy again after getting so fucked up by Selina, though it seems as if we would risk a continuity reboot with her coming back and I'm very happy with DC staying with Rebirth for a while longer
I cant even believe how much work this must have taken. But I absolutely loved this. And as you put it at 10:30 the Cat and the Bat are truly a legendary thing. I really liked how they were done in the dark knight trilogy of games, (i'm probably wrong on their names)
Also just want to say again that this was absolutely wonderful. And I have to agree Batman is very well received. Its the only DC hero I actually find good, well Batman and just his kinda mini-universe that is Gothom. Otherwise I'm a Spiderman kinda person, which I think it has to do with the amount of villains, and most of the villains have something more to them than just "hey I'm the bad guy".
The Arkham games?
Anyway good video information overload here
Great video
Jesus Christ. Is this a damn enclycopedia?! Drake I’ve been watching this video for 4 years!
"Wanna know my.......secret identity?"
The mug...
I need it.
Can you make a video on the batman serials from the 40s as I would love it
Soooooo where you got that mug? Asking for a friend.
I really hope Silver gets reintroduced. They seem to have a really great relationship and she deserves to be more well known. However, I also ship him with Catwoman AND Wonder Woman, so I’d be good with whatever
You should’ve counted Talia al Ghul for prime Earth too
“ Damian exist because I let my heart overrule my head” - Bruce in Batman and robin (2011-2015)
1k left also thet mario cup is dope
Please talk about either Klarion the Witch Boy or Etrigan
15:50 I know about that guy because there's a MUGEN character of him for some bizarre reason in spite of his vast obscurity.
Aw man, MUGEN. I loved that game!
@@k.bermejo7334 MUGEN isn't a game, it's an engine.
@@mattwo7 Ohhh, okie. Always thought of it (and still regard it) as a game cause y'know, it's a playable program. We are talking about the highly customizable "engine"; from backgrounds, to characters, UIs, etc. right?
@@k.bermejo7334 Yes, you can make games out of it but it's not a game itself. Like Garry's Mod.
@@k.bermejo7334

I love that mug
Why am I watching this with my sister and he was talking about how Silver was killed off by onomatopoeia and she says "damn she got killed off with a bang" yooooooooooo
Batman and cat woman are getting their own team up series in December so i don’t think they’re done rn
We all know that Bruce is too devoted to his work to be a good boyfriend/husband.
talia and bruce ended up together in kingdom come (in the novelization) and in whatever universe brotherhood of the bat & league of batmen are in now, tho bruce unfortunately dies there. they also had a illusionary wedding imagined by bruce in scribblenauts unmasked #7 which had the best wedding vows i've ever seen in comics :D
You should make a video about Peter Parker and Harry Osborn's friendship history in the comics! Each new adaptation of Spider-Man gives us a different interpretation.
Interesting video i did look for wonder woman but saw why you didn't bring her up makes sense and this is purley comics so no fanfiction if you included fanfiction oh boy that would be a bunch of different people but video was great your doing an amazing job keep up the good work drake
9:08 "As interesting as demons might be..." Please tell me he dated a demon at some point. Because comics.
I know it was decades ago, but it's so weird looking at the art from so long ago and then looking at something from like Jim Lee.
Just curious, what about Zatanna ignoring identity crisis they could have been one of the healthiest of his relationships 😅 lol no worries dude! Loved the list and love your dedication!
This is personally why I always like Wonder woman as his romantic interests even though they never actually happened. She can accept that he's Batman and she's also to strong for most of his common enemies to actually capture her and use her against him. Plus I'd like to actually see them be a thing since we've yet to really see it.
Wow Batman has dated a lot of girls
Of course he has. He’s Bruce Wayne
@@Cj-xt6tv lol indeed :)
Because he is BATMAN
@@Cj-xt6tv He's rich.
@I'm Batman true
I hope you will do this more for other characters like Wolverine or Cyclops
You did great. One that I missed was Shondra Kingsolver (I am not sure how to write her name). Not sure if she counted as a love interest. She was the one that helped repair Batman's back when Bane broke him. She ended up dead by her brother because of comics.
She was a love interest, not a girlfriend.
