User blog:SforHope/The Most Annoying "Ruining" Gag in Batman

(I just need to rant about it--get it out of my system)

It began to really piss me off the fixation of writers to make Batman unable to mantain a serious relationship with a woman. It has become so predictable and repetitive, that it doesn't matter whatever character, old or new, is introduced as a possible love interest, we already know it just won't happen.

It has become something as part of the Batman mythos as the Wayne's murders. And I think is ridiculous. As you can see in the Batman's Love Interests page, all of their relations ended up in the most awkward, unnecessary and dumb way.

I know that a person's gotta try before settling but Batman/Bruce has had more girlfriends than most of us would ever expect to have. I dare say that he is the one with most romantic relations in the DC universe than any other character. And then I realized, writers do that on purpose. They tease with the idea and then they scratch it when it gets old. It's annoying and that's the only thing I can't stand of Batman's stories.

That said, the ones that triggered this whole thing:
 * 1. Andrea Beaumont - Can't be with Batman because she is Phantasm
 * 2. Talia al Ghul - Can't because they have opposite goals.
 * 3. Catwoman - Can't because.....I don't even know....
 * 4. Wonder Woman (DCAU) - Won't because he wouldn't date within a group and a bunch of other "reasons"

Now, here is where things get hectic:
 * Shondra Kinsolving - Her mind regressed to childhood (Really???)
 * Vesper Fairchild - Gets killed by David Caine under Luthor's order to frame Wayne....(so out of nowhere)
 * Julie Madison - She holds Batman responsible for her father's death and exiles herself to Africa.....(yep)
 * Sasha Bordeaux - First, she gets framed for Versper's murder, then she is abducted by Checkmate and then she is transformed into an android....(her only crime was wanting Bruce)
 * Vicky Vale - ... ....

But the one that forced me to write this:
 * Silver St. Cloud: She has Silver Hair! She was the perfect match and has silver hair! She loved him, knew his secret and despite it she still loved him. She was featured in some of the most iconic stories of Batman in the 80's. They broke up a while, she stayed with a handicapped man but then she returned to Bruce....just to be killed by a Kevin Smith creation!...(Why...tell me why....)

Ok....I know most of you won't read it....but if you did....tell me I'm wrong!
