8 Great Couples In Superhero Movies

Romance in a superhero movie is difficult to get right. Next to all the necessary action, high stakes and general caped crusading, the love story element isn’t high up on the list of important constituent parts. As such, portraying a strong central relationship that the audience can get behind is no easy feat. Sometimes they end up being tedious – Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm in 2005’s Fantastic Four – or bizarrely shoe-horned in, like Black Widow and Hulk. How the hell did that one happen?

Batman Returns Catwoman

It’s no surprise that Tim Burton’s cavalcade of the carnivalesque that is Batman Returns produced the most twisted superhero movie romance to date. The film might taken a lot of liberties with the source material, but it perfectly portrayed this aspect of the Batman mythos.

As we said in our look at the 8 Greatest Female Characters in DC Movies, Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne are made for each other. Both are people struggling to maintain two conflicting lifestyles without losing their sense of self. As Bruce himself says, they are “split right down the centre.”

But, unlike The Dark Knight Rises’ versions, these crazy kids couldn’t make it work. While Batman and Catwoman might have enjoyed playful punch-ups on the rooftops of Gotham, Bruce and Selina were both too fractured to end up happily ever after.
