Superman and Lois Lane, Batman and Catwoman, Mister Miracle and Big Barda, Green Arrow and Black Canary, all couples that have become legendary and well covered in media.

There had been some hints of a romantic relationship between Black Lightning and Katana, two of the founding members of The Outsiders, particularly in the event Identity Crisis. However, it was the recent run of Batman & The Outsiders that made it clear how they feel about each other.

Katana comments on how Black Lightning clearly has feelings for her, and she affectionatly calls him Raijin, a reference to the Japanese god of lightning. Though it was obvious that the two were going to become a couple, they never got the chance, as the series was unfortunately canceled.

Granted, Linda Park and Wally West did interact in the Justice League Unlimited episode “Flash and Substance,” with the underrated episode showing that Linda clearly has a crush on The Scarlet Speedster. Wally doesn’t really seem to show much interest in Linda however, and the two never interact again.

This is a shame, as the third Flash and the outgoing TV reporter are highly devoted to each other in the comics. In fact, they got married, which was a moment that many Flash fans still cherish to this day.

Not a relationship at its best in the main universe per se, but the pairing of the second Robin and the daughter of Deathstroke is a relationship that makes sense. Both tend to be more ruthless and bloodthirsty than their fellow Titans, with their relationship getting play in a few alternate realities.

Their relationship has been featured in the main universe comics, but it was Tom Taylor’s DCeased universe that took the biggest swings with this pairing. In Dead Planet, Red Hood and Ravager have gotten married, but sadly one of them doesn’t make it to the end.

In Doom Patrol #34, after The Brain’s consciousness was placed into one of Robotman’s bodies, he confessed his love for Mallah, and the two have been a loving couple ever since. They have appeared individually in several TV shows, but never as a couple, which is a shame.
