Jezebel Jet
Jezebel Jet was a Governess of a fictional African country that Bruce quickly became enamored with. After seeing the fervor she had for bettering the international standing of her country, he felt that she shared his passion for bettering the world with their respective means and the two were enraptured in a whirlwind romance. Bruce became so invested in her that when the now expected specter of Batman began to complicate the relationship, he chose to reveal himself to Jet, gave her access to the Bat-Cave and most importantly, spent less time as Batman to be with her.
Bruce found contentment with Jezebel. He found someone who could understand his need to be Batman, and for a moment perhaps thought he had found something more, but sadly, he also found deceit.
Jezebel was revealed to be an agent of super-criminal troupe called “The Black Glove,” and was positioned to break his psyche by attacking his heart. Batman, fortunately, saw this coming, investigated Jet’s past before the trap was sprung in full and admitted to her that he was faking much of their relationship. Yet again Batman won the day, but reminded Bruce to be wary that semblances of a normal life and happiness may be a cruel taunting from the universe.
Talia Al-Ghul
Talia Al-Ghul is Bruce’s jealous-ex, baby mama and likely runner up for his heart. As the heiress apparent to lead the League of Assassins, Talia echoes Bruce’s desire for a better world. This draws the two together but her brutal, militant, villainous methods will always place them at odds.
They’ve tried to make it work since 1971 but their dates always go the same way. Talia threatens to poison a country, Bruce asks her to help their needy citizens instead, Talia chooses the poison, Batman finds a cure for the poison as ninjas appear, there’s a swordfight, and they give each other a longing stare as they go their separate ways.
It’s all very high school but their attraction is undeniable. Their intellectual equals, their pooled resources would allow them to accomplish goals far beyond their singular means, and the chance to give their son, Damian, a more normal, stable childhood is alluring. She’s the perfect woman for Bruce but in their hearts they know that Batman has pledged his life to fighting monsters and Talia’s last name is the Arabic word for “demon.”
