Cap and Canary was very close to happening. Instead, I've had to alter course... More on that soon enough.

@Eddie Brock Is that what you want with Jay Garrick?

<Snipped quote by Eddie Brock>

Huh, that'd be a fun couple actually.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Fun fact: the only reason I ever started putting the two together was because in that particular version of UDC, the players who were using both Barbara and Starfire made them way older than Dick, so I had to basically pull a whole 'nother romance out of thin air. And the more I wrote it, the more I liked it. In comics canon, yeah, I go Dick/Babs all the way. In my own head-canon, though, that's another story.

I could get behind Bruce/Dinah. It'd probably be healthier for Bruce since Dinah's already on the right side of the law, and it'd allow him to dunk on Ollie. And anything that is bad for Ollie (comics-Ollie anyway), I approve of.

Let's not act like Dick doesn't have an ass that would bring all the cougars to the yard...

Especially you. You know who you are.

Yeah, but in-game he was like 15 at the time. And unless we wanted to turn UDC into a reenactment of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," I figured someone in the same age bracket would be more appropriate.

I was pretty jazzed

As much as I ship Babs and Dick, the Dick/Kory pairing in the Teen Titans DCAU movie made a convincing case for my changing my mind there.

It was very wink-wink. But in Killing Joke, Bats officially hits it and quits it.

<Snipped quote by Bounce>

I like Dick/Kory, but I've never really been able to consider them an OTP. They always struck me as each other's respective side-piece.

<Snipped quote by Eddie Brock>
So does the Joker.

Dammit, I thought I was gonna have the "yeesh, too far" joke of the night.

<Snipped quote by AndyC>

Dick kind of strikes me as the kind of guy who always defined himself by being liked by girls but eventually grows older and realizes he doesn't need all that noise and eventually forms more platonic and meaningful relationships.

Basically what I'm trying to say is I don't see there being any OTP for Dick.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Ironically, the fact that Dick and post-injury Barbara can't really have crazy rooftop Halloween sex I think makes them a much better pairing. Like you're saying, as he grows up he should get less interested in chasing tail (or rather being chased by tail), so a relationship where that's not really an option anymore makes it that much more important for him to grow as a person. I think he's still very much a romantic and a loverboy at heart, but by the time he's an actual adult, he's looking more at a love with a capital L. He can't really get that from the world of sexy people in skin-tight spandex, and Barbara's the closest thing to a normal person he knows. Plus, since she was always more emotionally mature than him, I imagine he'd feel like he has something to prove, to show that he's grown enough to be ready for her.

I mean, to each their own--especially in regards to DC which has about eighty trillion different incarnations of their characters.

<Snipped quote by AndyC>

I fully agree to this. But that Barbara seems to be long gone from DC's line up sadly.

Note, I am way behind on both Rebirth Nightwing and Batgirl's titles but I'm like 99.9% certain that Babs has not been confined to a wheelchair again haha.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Blame Gail Simone. She was so indignant over how 'harmful' The Killing Joke was to Barbara that she decided to undo it and remove years of character development, turning her back into just another Bat-kid and ultimately damaging the character far more severely than any amount of bullets through the spine.
