1. When or if I started shipping them: 1992 when my dad took us to see Batman Returns.

2. What I think their challenge is: Other than the status-quo-is-god, retcon-every-5-to-10-years nature of comics? They both like to think of themselves as "I work alone" types.

3. What makes me happy about them: It's canon that Bruce made Dick and Tim wait in the car during Catwoman crimes. It's treated as perfectly normal that they're equals (or, if anybody's in charge, she is).

4. What makes me sad about them: That continuities that have them get together tend to treat it like the end of Grease: she's got to completely change (rather than being her fabulously fickle self as she tends to be in modern comics).

5. What moment I wish had never happened: The must-restore-status-quo ending of Hush. It's ridiculously paranoid even for Batman, and I just don't buy it when he grabs her wrists hard enough to hurt her. Even when she's just a new criminal he's trying to stop, how many times has he actually taken a swing at her in the past 70 years

out of fear that blatant acknowledgement will cause Selina to disappear for a few months or Bruce to start pushing her away.
Yeah. *sigh* Why are you so bad at this, Bruce. :/
