Summary

Headcanons I have for the Batman universe! Feel free to use any!

Chapter 3: Dating!

Who I ship!

PENGUIN & CATWOMAN (MARRIED)
For the reasons I said earlier, they fit. I feel like most people wouldn't know they're together, and they keep their own last names for business reasons, but they would actually be a really good couple.

MR FREEZE & NORA (MARRIED)
Anyone who thinks otherwise is insane, no offense.
#VicNora4ever!!!! 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

BATMAN & JOKER (DATING)
In a universe where Joker's evil is toned down (and he didn't purposely kill any of the bat-kids) I think they would work. Joker is already cannonly in love with Batsy, and I think we can attest to the RAINBOW BATSUIT for why they go together.

HARLEY & IVY (DATING)
Ivy literally have her the antidote to her poisons so Harley could stay at her greenhouse. They lived together for a while. Harley is the only human Ivy cares for. This is cannon too. Plus they just look sooo cute together.

SCARECROW & MAD HATTER (DATING)
Wizard Of Oz & Alice In Wonderland? YES. Jervis sings Alice quotes, and Jonathan sings nursery rhymes. Jervis is a bowl of sprinkles, and Jonathan is a brick of dark chocolate. They fit.

RIDDLER & TWO-FACE (DATING)
I don't know why they work, they just DO.

BABYDOLL (CLAYDOLL) & CLAYFACE (DATING)
Okay, so what if the same thing that happened to Clayface happened to Babydoll, turning her into Claydoll, freeing her from being forever stuck as a child? I think, if that happened, they would actually make a pretty good couple. They are both obsessive actors... Pretty much that's the whole reason I think they would work.

DICK GRAYSON & BARBARA GORDON (DATING)
I don't have any other ships for him, and they work so...

JASON TODD & DUELA DENT
I just think they would make a pretty good couple. Plus, I can't see Jason dating a non-criminal.

STEPHANIE BROWN & TIM DRAKE (FLIRTING)
Stalker meets Genius detective. Way to much coffee Glitter bombs and . Hero and Criminal. Third robin and only robin ever to be fired. They work! I feel like as teens they would be really flirty towards each other, and would only get together as adults.

DAMAIN & JON-EL (FLIRTING)
Jon - 'You have a cow?'
Damian - 'Of course I have a cow!'

Superman - 'Another traumatic moment might unlock more powers.'

Damian, smirks - 'Lets test that theory' pushes Jon down long hole.

Damian, sees bruise on Jon's face and Bully walking over - 'Oh! He hit you! - quietly - 'Should have used heat vision on him, honestly.
Damian, chi blocks/paralyses him.
Jon, horrified - 'What did you do!?'
Damian, smirking - 'A trick I learned from my grandfather. He'll recover... In a week.'

CASSANDRA CAIN & SEWER KINGDOM KID (FLIRTING)
Cass is mute (or doesn't speak) and uses sign language. The Sewer Kids do the same. I headcanon that she (and Damian) spent a few years in the Sewer Kingdom, so I think she would bond with someone there?

IVY & TWO-FACE (EX'S)
He destroyed a rare species of rose to put up a building or something, so she seduced him (to the point where he was gonna propose), then she used part of the last one of those roses to make poison, put it on her lips, then kissed him, attempting to kill him. This is all cannon. She would give a begrudging half-apologize, and he would kinda-not-really forgive her, because Harley told them to.

JOKER & HARLEY (EX'S)
In my version he isn't abusive, they just both realized they like other people and break up. They are the kinda people who act like they are together without meaning to. A rare case where the breakup is 💯 mutual.

TWO-FACE & GILDA DENT (EX'S)
I needed a mother for his kids, so....

Jervis Tetch and Temple Fugate bros, YESSSSS 😍

Maybe Clock King got married, and that's why his last name is different?

Oooh! I like it! Adding it!

Oswald and Selina is so cute to me so happy to see someone else ship it

Gontonyak Author via AO3 2026-03-12

I'm glad you like it!

I didn't ship them at first, but them my sister convinced me they worked together. Now I can't see them with anyone else. They just work so well!

Thank you for reading and commenting! Always nice to see someone enjoying my work! 😊
